Driving Sustainability Through Innovation and Collaboration #
Living Fountain is dedicated to advancing high-quality, eco-friendly packaging materials that align with evolving environmental regulations. Our ongoing mission is to collaborate across industries, championing the circular economy and sustainable development.
Commitment to PCR and Sustainable Development Goals #
Since the United Nations introduced the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, including SDG 12: “Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns,” we have focused on reducing carbon emissions and developing environmentally friendly plastic resins. By utilizing post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic resin, we aim to lessen the environmental impact of virgin resin production and promote industrial recycling for sustainable resource use, all while progressing toward carbon neutrality.
Key Milestones in Sustainable Packaging #
- 2015: In partnership with beauty brand O’right, we created the world’s first PCR plastic pump, setting a benchmark for circular economy and sustainable packaging.
- 2020: Collaborated with Homemakers Union Consumers Co-op to launch “Green Advocate Ecological Laundry Detergent - Sustainable Bottled,” utilizing 100% recycled plastic bottles to enhance resource recycling and environmental protection.
- 2021: Through OEM collaboration with a renowned convenience store chain, we introduced coffee portable cups made from PBS sugarcane fiber, transforming agricultural waste into renewable resources and supporting the biological cycle.
- 2022: Partnered with a well-known hypermarket to deliver the R Series sustainable shampoo bottle, with both bottle and cap crafted from 100% PCR plastic materials.
Tritan Reusable Tableware: Safety and Versatility #
Tritan™ Copolyester, developed by Eastman Company (USA), is a modified PCT plastic free from bisphenol A, bisphenol S, and other bisphenols. Its safety, stability, non-toxicity, high temperature resistance, and clarity make it ideal for household, baby, and medical products. International brands use Tritan for water purifiers, blenders, portable bottles, baby feeding bottles, and medical devices, ensuring safe direct contact with humans.
CPET Reusable Tableware: Durability and Recyclability #
Crystalline Polyethylene Terephthalate (CPET) is a food-grade plastic that, after crystallization, gains a tighter molecular structure, enabling it to withstand temperatures up to 140°C (284℉) without deformation. Free from plasticizers, melamine, formaldehyde, and BPA, CPET is certified safe and non-toxic by SGS and the U.S. FDA. Its ceramic-like texture, heat insulation, acid and alkali resistance, and impact durability make it suitable for microwaving and dishwashing. CPET tableware is 100% recyclable and reusable, contributing to the circular economy.
PBS Sugarcane Fiber Tableware: Renewable and Low-Carbon #
PBS sugarcane fiber is derived from bagasse, a byproduct of sugar production. For every ton of sugar produced, 2–3 tons of bagasse are generated. By recycling bagasse, we reduce reliance on virgin plastics and lower both energy consumption and carbon emissions. This approach emphasizes renewable resource recycling and environmental friendliness.
Closed Circulatory System: Advancing the Circular Economy #
As the first company in Taiwan to invest in Tritan tableware, Living Fountain is pioneering a B2B closed circulatory service system for tableware, supporting the global trend of reducing disposable tableware. This system ensures high recycling rates for used tableware, which can then be repurposed into new products, furthering the goals of the circular economy.
