As the times evolve and the public’s aesthetic preferences advance, fast fashion has gradually become mainstream, characterized by rapid production, low prices, and mass consumption. Consequently, the textile industry’s waste problem has become increasingly severe. According to data, approximately 92 million tons of textile waste are generated globally each year, and the recycling rate for this waste is extremely low—less than 1% of garments are reused, while the majority are incinerated, placing a tremendous environmental burden on the Earth.

Artificial intelligence and automation technologies are advancing at a rapid pace, driving large‑scale deployments of robots across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and service sectors. This momentum is propelling overall industry upgrades and operational efficiency leaps. Amid this wave, mastering the manufacture of high‑precision, high‑reliability core components has become the decisive factor in market competitiveness.

Over the past decade, cutting fluid recycling and regeneration technologies have evolved from auxiliary support services into essential core equipment and processes within manufacturing. Recycling and reusing cutting fluids reduce raw material and water waste, making production processes more aligned with circular economy principles. According to market forecasts, the global cutting fluid market size will reach USD 3.78 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 5.64 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.3%. Among this, the market for regeneration equipment and treatment services is expanding particularly rapidly, reaching about USD 1.31 billion in 2024 and projected to double to USD 2.61 billion by 2033, with a CAGR as high as 7.8%.

As global environmental awareness continues to grow, the plastic recycling industry is presented with new development opportunities. However, the sector still faces multiple challenges, including improving recycling rates, efficiently sorting various types of plastics, and reducing operational costs.Plastic recycling involves sorting, cleaning, and processing waste plastics into reusable materials, helping reduce pollution and promote resource reuse.

Facing the wave of global manufacturing transformation and automation upgrades, the hydraulic industry stands at a critical turning point. From traditional power output units, it is gradually evolving into an integrated system that combines precision manufacturing, intelligent control, and energy-saving technologies. The role of hydraulic technology in next-generation equipment is no longer limited to “power transmission,” but has become a key factor influencing efficiency, stability, and environmental sustainability.

In response to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives, many companies have begun embracing green office practices—from source reduction, energy and resource conservation, and eco-friendly procurement, to environmental beautification and internal advocacy. These actions not only reduce environmental impact but also enhance corporate image and employee well-being. Amid these transformations, choosing the right office chair may seem like a minor detail, but it in fact reflects all three ESG pillars—becoming a key stepping stone toward a sustainable future.
