Developing antibacterial composite materials from discarded oyster shells

Taiwan generates an average of 160,000 tons of discarded oyster shells annually. Formosa Plastics Cprporation R&D team transforms these waste oyster shells through calcination and grinding into "Antibacterial Shell Powder" with an antibacterial rate exceeding 99.99%. They combine this antibacterial shell powder with various plastic materials to produce a wide range of antibacterial products. Long-FON DevelopmentLTD. actively embrace ESG principles by incorporating this "Antibacterial Oyster Shell Powder" into their perennially popular air-cushioned slippers, aiming to promote the circular economy. This product has been verified as a "Made in Taiwan" (MIT) product with the MIT Smiling Face Mark. In bending tests, the finished shoes withstood 22,500 cycles without damage and meet the CNS 3478 plasticizer content testing, ensuring that the product is safe for human use and poses no harm, making it a reliable and secure choice.

Lurng Furng Development Ltd.

A footwear group with many years of history, it owns a variety of brands and products. In product development ten years ago, they began to focus on the lightweight and pressure relief of shoes. They used EVA to start a series of research and development. In addition to being lightweight, EVA material is soft, shock-resistant and elastic, which is very consistent with the air cushion concept they want. It can turn the visible (visible airbag) into invisible, so they began to think about how to apply this concept to On other shoes. During a marathon event, they accidentally discovered that some runners were using mother-child crocodile slippers as running shoes. After actually contacting runners and understanding how to use the product, they actively invested in the research and development of a new generation of running slippers. Insisting on the mother-child crocodile made in Taiwan, they designed it according to the foot shape of Taiwanese people and cooperated with the latest high-density, non-toxic EVA material produced by Formosa Plastics. It has not been damaged after multiple normal temperature bending tests. Compared with ordinary Flip-flops, which can better fit the user's arch and foot shape, continue the new generation of road running slippers.
