The textile industry is one of Taiwan's major industries, covering a wide range from raw material procurement to end consumption. However, this large and complex supply chain has accumulated long-standing issues, such as unclear labor rights, environmental degradation, lack of transparency, and unclear product origins. As consumer demand for sustainable products increases, improving supply chain transparency and ensuring product quality has become a significant challenge.

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.

As global concerns over environmental protection and food safety continue to grow, plastic processing and packaging equipment are undergoing a transformative shift. Taiwanese machinery manufacturers are leveraging automation, biodegradable material processing capabilities, and modular design to secure strong competitive advantages—especially in the production of everyday consumables like straws, strapping bands, shrink film, and cotton swabs

Pineapple Leaves Fiber, as an innovative textile material, is not only eco-friendly but also effectively reduces agricultural waste. Exclusively developed and applied by Taiwan’s UKL, it creates a new fabric option that combines breathability, antibacterial properties, and durability.

Founded in 1988, UKL Enterprise Co., Ltd. (UKL) has built a 35-year legacy of excellence in designing and manufacturing high-quality sweaters and knitted apparel. Recognized as a trusted supplier by leading European and American fashion brands, UKL has long stood at the forefront of innovation and craftsmanship in the textile industry.

In the fast-paced and ever-evolving textile industry, innovative knitting machinery has played a vital role in driving efficiency, productivity, and creativity. Advanced developments have revolutionized the textile industry, enabling manufacturers to produce intricate patterns, improve efficiency, and meet the growing demands of the market. With a rich history dating back to 1976, Dah Heer Industrial Co. has emerged as a prominent player in revolutionizing the textile knitting process. Dah Heer specializes in the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of crochet knitting machines, warp knitting machines, and knitting cylinder machines. This article will delve into the special qualities and considerations of these machines, as well as explore the features that make them superior in terms of quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

With the global economic development, the demand of the consumer market has driven the vigorous growth of the textile industry. However, under the business model of production-based sales, excessive production has not only caused environmental pollution but has also caused unnecessary waste of resources. Over the past few years, this has led the United Nations and the European Union, to begin to advocate "sustainability" and "environmental protection" as the focus of global development for the next 10 years.

The digitalization of the textile industry, which is highly connected with the consumer market, is the general trend. In particular, the digitalization of the supply chain such as 3D simulation technology can greatly simplify and speed up the product development and production process, and at the same time achieve the reduction of manpower, which promotes fashion and textiles. Industry players are all vigorously promoting digital transformation, and the recent digital development of the textile industry has mostly focused on issues such as sustainable fashion, circular economy, and digital innovation.

Carbon neutrality, inflation, and rising energy costs will speed up the restructuring of the textile fiber supply chain. Suppliers with vertically consistent factories and green products are expected to win.

The cutting bed in the textile and garment industry is rapidly popularized, the automation penetration rate of sewing equipment continues to increase, the acceptance of template machines is improved, and the textile and garment industry continues to move abroad.

A textile machine is any one of the machines used for taking natural fibers or chemical fibers and making them into textiles. Different fibers like cotton, hemp, hair, etc., have different kinds of processing required to change them into textiles, therefore a variety of different “textile machines” are used to perform these processes.

Taiwan’s textile industry has shifted from processing and exporting imported raw materials in the early days to the development of man-made fibers based on raw materials provided by the petrochemical industry, supplemented by imported natural fibers such as cotton and wool, and developed a complete upstream, midstream, and downstream production system, including man-made fibers. Manufacturing, spinning, weaving, dyeing, and finishing, clothing, and apparel products.
