Taiwan textiles industry plays a starring role at World Cup (2014/06/30) Although Taiwan has no team in the World Cup, its innovative textiles industry is playing a role. More than half of the teams that advanced to the Round of 16 use jerseys that were made in Taiwan using an environmentally friendly fabric. With the Round of 16 underway, star footballers are a fixture in sporting apparel advertisements. When players from 10 of the teams to make the elimination rounds take the field, they will wear breathable, high-performance jerseys made from recycled PET bottles. The specialty fabric was produced in Taiwan. Used PET bottles typically end up in landfills. But one person’s trash can become another person’s treasure, as shown by Taiwanese garment manufacturers. To make this fabric, PET bottles are subjected to heat. Fine fibers that extrude are later spun into fabric. On average, it takes eight bottles to produce one jersey. Another technological advance is the addition of coffee grounds to make jerseys odor resistant and quick-drying. Hu Zheng-chung Garment Manufacturer It’s three times more odor-resistant than typical cotton and five times more UV resistant. Plus, it dries twice as quickly. More than one million of these jerseys were produced for the World Cup, including those worn by teams and replicas sold to retailers. Roughly 13 million PET bottles were reused. Taiwan’s textile industry believes the use of recycled materials such as PET bottles is a growing trend that will create significant growth opportunities over the next few years. 中文 Chinese 世足環保衣 世界盃足球賽熱鬧開打，雖然台灣隊伍沒有參賽，不過台灣卻和世足賽搭上了邊，其中10個國家隊伍，球員身上所穿的球衣，都是台灣製造，而且還是用回收的寶特瓶，所做出來的，讓法國媒體「費加洛報」報導，宣稱台灣人已經贏得了世界盃冠軍。 巴西世足賽16強開踢，運動品牌的形象廣告，也請來各球隊大牌球星客串。其中10個球隊球員身上，透氣又舒適的球衣，其實全部都是用回收的寶特瓶做出來的，而且是由台灣製作。 廢棄的寶特瓶堆滿山，平常民眾喝完飲料就丟進垃圾桶的空瓶子，在台灣製衣廠商的眼中，卻成了不可多得的寶貝。 利用熱鎔技術，全部變成一絲一絲的聚酯纖，穿起來很輕、再經過紡紗就成了布的原料，平均8個空的寶特瓶，可以做出一件球衣，而且技術再進步，還能加入咖啡渣，能讓機能球衣除臭、快乾。 [[製衣廠商業者 胡正中]] 它的除臭跟一般棉來講(比)，大概三倍更好，在抗紫外線的部份，會超過五倍，以及速乾會達到兩倍以上。 這一系列國家球衣和零售球衣，使用超過1300萬個寶特瓶，數量超過百萬件，業者認為用寶特瓶回收材料是個趨勢，預估在未來幾年之內都還會有大幅成長的空間。
