The ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) wave is surging, with countries worldwide actively

moving towards a low-carbon and sustainable future. In response, many nations and businesses

have embraced the trend of "Low Carbon Green Procurement." This trend encompasses various

sectors, including construction, equipment, and gifts, all aiming to prioritize low-carbon and

environmentally friendly products. Cheng Yu International has emerged prominently in this

movement with the development of the "Smiling Turtle Eco-Friendly Series" gifts.

Cheng Yu International, with a mission of "Caring for Our Earth," has developed a series of branded

products under the theme of "SmilingTurtle," embodying a deep commitment to environmental

conservation. All the company's products are manufactured in Taiwan as part of the MIT initiative,

including wheat straws, wheat tableware, tea fiber toothpick sticks, tea fiber coffee cups, and

culturally inspired tote bags handcrafted from recycled NG cement bags. These products actively

implement low-carbon environmental protection practices, demonstrating the company's

dedication to fostering a more Earth-friendly approach. Founder and General Manager Zhang

Yicheng expressed that among eco-friendly gift items, the wheat straws, wheat tableware, and tea

fiber toothpick sticks are particularly well-received in the industry.

The wheat straws, designed for single-use and primarily targeting the B2B market, particularly in

the food and beverage industry, have led to the development of "Boxed Wheat Straws" to meet the

environmental demands of individual consumers. These wheat straws, made from wheat fibers,

exhibit characteristics such as sufficient hardness, resistance to softening in water, and

biodegradability. The company also emphasizes the recycling of wheat husk agricultural

materials, exemplifying true adherence to the principles of a circular economy.

The wheat tableware set, including forks, spoons, chopsticks, and an outer box, is entirely crafted

from wheat fibers, free from plasticizers and 5P plastics. These "reusable" products are essential

daily utensils for many students and working professionals, providing a convenient and

environmentally friendly option for on-the-go use. The final product, a tea fiber toothpick

stick with a handle made from Taiwan tea stems, is devoid of 5P plastics and fluorescent agents, and it

also possesses biodegradable characteristics. After use, the toothpick stick can be directly

disposed of into the soil for decomposition.

All three products utilize agricultural waste, contributing to a circular economy while promoting

environmental conservation through reduced plastic usage. Cheng Yu International hopes that

corporate entities will genuinely implement their "Low Carbon Green" procurement goals, making

a significant contribution to environmental protection efforts.
