[Reporter Fang Weijie/Taipei Report] Far East New (1402) is about to take part in the Taipei Textile Show (TITAS) to be held this month, focusing on the three major areas of high-performance sportswear, 100% polyester recycled materials and cross-border upcycling. Among them, the new generation of high-performance moisture-absorbing and sweat-wicking fiber TopCool Petal has been selected by international sports brands and has become the designated clothing material for the 2026 World Cup. It is used in the home and away jerseys of 22 national teams including Spain, Argentina, and Japan. It has also introduced recycling technologies such as full polyester synthetic leather and waste polyester fabrics for shoe materials.
Far East New held a pre-show press conference for the Taipei Textile Exhibition today, taking "BUILT FOR CHAMPS" as its core concept to showcase this year's exhibiting products in advance. Management pointed out that the group has been deeply involved in functional textile materials for many years. The TopCool Petal exhibited this time has moisture-conducting, quick-drying and anti-see-through properties. In addition to being selected by international sports brands for the home and away jerseys of 22 national teams in the 2026 World Cup, related fiber technologies have also been extended to tennis championship jerseys.
In terms of recycling materials, Far East New will demonstrate the results of "100% polyester recycling" this time. The new generation of all-polyester synthetic leather adopts a single material design and provides a 100% polyester closed-loop solution from raw materials to post-processing. It has been recognized by the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026.
In response to the recycling problem of composite materials in the shoe industry, Far East New will also exhibit FENC TOPGREEN rTPEE technology, which converts waste polyester fabrics into soft and highly elastic materials, combined with a one-step separation and decolorization process and single polyester material shoe design. The relevant technology was jointly developed by Far East New Textile Industry Research Institute and other partners, and won this year's R&D 100 Awards.
Far East New will also showcase the recycling results of its cooperation with BenQ Materials. The two parties have deepened their e2cycle cooperation to convert electronic waste into environmentally friendly textile materials and expand PET recycling applications. They will also display the FEFC power x environmentally friendly nylon 66 comfortable elastic fiber jacket made of 100% nylon 66 recycled raw materials, which provides stretch and recovery without adding elastic yarn, and simplifies subsequent material recycling.
