The International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM 2022) kicked off at KLCC Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on the 12th of October. Taiwan Excellence, an initiative of the Taiwan Bureau of Foreign Trade and managed by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), has set up an exclusive exhibition pavilion at IGEM with the theme “A Green Future” aimed at igniting business opportunities in sustainability between Malaysia and Taiwan.
IGEM is Malaysia’s most influential exhibition and conference for green technology and environmental protection. 45 selected products from Taiwan Excellence showcase the continual innovation and value creation that is at the heart of many Taiwanese corporations.
The products include eco-friendly biodegradable materials by 100% ZHI and AVATACK; PE plastic lining-free recyclable paper food containers CircuWell; the world’s first eco-friendly closed-loop recycled hot-stamping foil by UNIVACCO; high precision pumps from Walrus Pump and HCP Pump; drug-free and pure plant-based shampoo by AROMASE & juliArt, and more.
Dato’ Seri Ir. Dr. Zaini bin Ujang, Secretary General of Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA) and Dato’ Iskandar Abdul Samad, Chairman of Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC) attended the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion opening in IGEM 2022 to shore up support.
Eva Peng, Director of Taiwan Trade Center, Kuala Lumpur, said in her opening address that Taiwan Excellence is the globally respected symbol of innovative value, and many Taiwanese enterprises are market leaders in carbon reduction and net-zero emission.
Their green-focused achievements are recognized around the world and their eco-friendly products are highly sought after. She was happy to see that Taiwanese exhibitors are not only participating in IGEM for commercial purposes but have also arranged for exchanges and dialogues with local environmental groups to deepen the understanding of how Taiwanese products can assist in achieving environmental protection objectives and become green partners for Malaysia.
Taiwan Excellence held two highly educational and well-received webinars in the runup to the IGEM physical exhibition. Representatives from AROMASE, CircuWell, AVATACK and HCP Pump shared their respective company’s sustainable philosophy and experiences with the participants.

Besides the product exhibition, Taiwan Excellence is also focusing on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) ideology and has joined the Eco Schools Malaysia initiative as a partner with the aim of sowing the seeds of a green economy.
Ir. Ts. Dr. Mahadi Mohamad, Executive Director of Green Growth Asia Foundation, the organisation behind the Eco Schools Malaysia effort, believes that Taiwan Excellence award-winning products will inspire the students’ ecological-focused thinking about the possibilities that product innovation brings to environmental protection and provide a fresh perspective for the movement.

She will also lead the students in planting Malaysia’s national flower hibiscus seedlings grown in biodegradable seedling bags from Taiwan – greening the campus while reducing waste and nurturing the love for environmental protection in the next generation.
Taiwan Excellence has also prepared a string of exciting programs and gifts for the IGEM physical exhibition from the 12th to 14th of October.
