台灣寶特瓶 酷變世足球衣
業者忍臭 生產5球隊戰袍2014年07月05日
【郭睿誠、王乙徹、田兆緯╱台中報導】世足風席捲全球，今年不論是地主巴西隊主將內馬爾（Neymar）或個人身價破1億歐元的葡萄牙金童C羅（Cristiano Ronaldo），他們穿的球衣布料都來自台灣桃園一家工廠，而且還是廢棄寶特瓶再製而成！
環保布料貴3成
法媒《費加洛報》（Figaro）上周以「台灣踢贏世界盃」，報導台灣在全球寶特瓶PET（聚酯粒，Polyethylene terephthalate）布料市場佔有率高達70％，今年世界盃有10支球隊穿著台灣製的環保球衣。
國內有多家業者生產PET材質球衣，《蘋果》走訪位於桃園的遠東新世紀公司，從各地回收來的寶特瓶，被壓製成每塊400公斤重的寶特瓶磚，堆置在廠區，廠房還瀰漫飲料發酵怪味，但經清洗、切碎、加熱融化、重製成聚酯纖維布料後，髒臭垃圾搖身一變成為「綠金」。
遠東新世紀協理彭清族說，寶特瓶回收製成纖維已有20多年歷史，早期技術不穩，質感粗糙、顏色欠佳，僅用於布偶填充物或製作地毯，直到4、5年前品質大幅精進，開始用於運動衣生產，獲國外廠商授權台灣廠商製造世足代表隊球衣，一舉打響台灣製造環保球衣名號。
今年世界盃有巴西、英、美、葡萄牙及克羅埃西亞等5國，球員球衣使用該公司的環保布料。資深經理趙松濤說：「回收寶特瓶製成的環保布料成本比一般布料貴2到3成，但製成球衣重量更輕，吸濕排汗功能更好，還可節能減碳，為地球盡一份心力。」
排汗速度快5倍
財團法人紡織產業綜合研究所主任周國村表示，聚酯纖維編製成的球衣，排汗速度是一般純棉衣物的5倍以上，適合易流汗的運動項目。環保署資源回收管理基金管理委員會統計，國人每年製造約10萬噸寶特瓶，無法自行分解，業者還原重製後，可解決環境問題。

Taiwan textile ingenuity on show at World Cup
The ingenuity of Taiwan’s textile industry is taking center stage at the World Cup in Brazil, with several nations sporting kits made from yarn featuring recycled polyethylene terephthalate, or PET.
In a June 25 article, French daily Le Figaro said Taiwan has already won its own World Cup of sorts on the back of efforts to place recycling at the heart of the local textile industry’s development strategy over the past two decades.
The article identified Eclat Textile Co. Ltd., Ecomax Textile Co. Ltd., Singtex Industrial Co. Ltd. and Super Textile Corp. as the main forces behind the innovation drive.
According to the report, over 13 PET million bottles were used to make high-performance jerseys for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. FIFA estimates that profits generated by the 2014 version will be over US$40 billion, with the garment industry the main beneficiary, a real jackpot for Taiwan companies.
According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan accounts for nearly 70 percent of the global market, which is projected to grow to US$60 billion in 2015.
It takes an average of eight bottles to make a sports jersey, the MOEA said. In addition to being lighter and more absorbent than cotton, the innovative fabric consumes less energy to produce. Savings average 30 percent compared with traditional materials.
Le Figaro also highlighted the efforts of Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation for collecting and recycling 12,000 tons of PET bottles per year and producing more than half a million blankets out of this material for humanitarian missions.
With both the public and private sectors keen on bringing Taiwan’s recycling efforts to a higher level, in the field of green innovation, Taiwan “leads the game,” the article said. (SFC-JSM)
