Some persimmon farmers in Taiwan have glass houses to bake dried persimmons, which are only used for one season a year. In the future, the company hopes to cooperate with persimmon farmers so that their glass houses can be used throughout the year to increase their income.

Chien-Chung Huang’s team has also developed children’s tableware made of bagasse, coffee grounds and bamboo, as well as disposable tableware suitable for use on airplanes or in buffet restaurants. At present, there are several baby product companies in France, Germany and Japan, and several airline companies are also in contact with cooperation matters.

There are two kinds of children’s tableware, plain and smooth surface, in fact, only the production techniques are slightly different, but there are no chemical substances added. Consumers in Taiwan are used to smooth surfaces, while operators in European countries prefer plain surfaces with a grainy feel, which is more natural, he said.
