Published May 12, 2021, 5:40 PM Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) and Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) Taiwan is one of the nations that heeded the call to be more earth-friendly when it comes to manufacturing particularly in its plastic and rubber industry. Very timely indeed as global awareness on environmental issues continues to rise with particular interest on how manufacturing practices can be made more efficient, produce less harmful wastes and be energy efficient in order not to harm Mother Nature. Last May 6, 2021, in the webinar “Shaping Tomorrow, Discovering Taiwan Plastic & Rubber Machinery”, organized by the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT), MOEA, Taiwan, R.O.C., and the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), in conjunction with Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry (TAMI), five leading Taiwanese companies shared their advanced manufacturing technologies. The event attracted more than 284 people who all registered online, with 176 peak concurrent viewers, and 563 views from countries such as Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam, UK, Nigeria, Malaysia, Russia, and many others.
