Amid limited resources and increasingly severe climate change, environmental protection has become more important than ever, and sustainable development has emerged as a shared goal across industries. Guided by its philosophy of \u201cGiving Back to Create a Better Society\u201d and its vision of being a \u201cLeader in Health and Innovation,\u201d HANTECH Biotechnology is committed to developing safe, convenient, attractive, and easy-to-consume sterilized soft-pouch functional beverages and jelly products. These products meet the nutritional supplementation needs of people across different age groups while advancing the company\u2019s vision of sustainable development through harmony with the environment and mutual benefit with society.<\/p>\n
HANTECH Biotechnology\u2019s products feature lightweight, compact packaging that is easy to carry. Through professional sterilization technology, the company achieves the concept of \u201cshelf-stable consumption,\u201d eliminating the need for refrigerated storage and effectively reducing energy consumption during transportation and storage while enhancing flexibility and environmental sustainability. In 2024, HANTECH Biotechnology collaborated with the Food Industry Research and Development Institute (FIRDI) to optimize sterilization operating conditions and process design. While meeting food safety and regulatory requirements, the company improved production efficiency and reduced the consumption of resources such as energy and steam, demonstrating its R&D capabilities in using scientific evidence to advance manufacturing processes while balancing environmental benefits.<\/p>\n
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, HANTECH Biotechnology has implemented various energy-saving, carbon-reduction, and resource-efficiency initiatives, including improving the operating efficiency of equipment at different voltage levels and implementing gas energy-saving measures. Following the relocation to its main facility in Xihu in 2024, the company began using natural gas throughout the facility to generate the steam required for production. The Yuanlin plant also converted its fuel system from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to natural gas, effectively reducing energy expenditures while maintaining production capacity. In terms of water resources, HANTECH has optimized its RO water system through technical improvements to reduce water consumption and strengthen operational resilience during drought conditions. The company has also introduced wastewater recovery and reuse mechanisms to improve the efficiency of water resource circulation.<\/p>\n
In terms of packaging materials, HANTECH Biotechnology actively promotes material optimization and reduction initiatives. The company has adopted eco-friendly ink printing and FSC-certified paper, and was among the first to use FSC-certified materials in its \u201cDesigned for Xihu\u201d project, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable packaging and social responsibility. All product cartons are made with recycled paper pulp and have undergone lightweighting and thickness adjustments to improve packaging sustainability. For sealing films, the company uses recyclable POF material, which offers good shrinkability and transparency and can be processed through general plastic recycling systems, helping reduce the amount of waste sent for incineration and landfill.<\/p>\n
HANTECH Biotechnology\u2019s main facility is located in Xihu, an important fruit and vegetable production area in Taiwan. With local ingredients at the core of its product development, the company has created \u201cRelax & Sleep Drink,\u201d incorporating Xihu grapes, and \u201cJiu Jiu Energy Drink,\u201d featuring Xihu chives. By combining local characteristics with consumers\u2019 health and wellness needs, these products demonstrate the integration of the company\u2019s R&D capabilities with the unique character of the local region. In 2025, HANTECH Biotechnology set up a booth at the Xihu Sugar Factory, where it distributed products free of charge to passengers riding the small train and provided guided-tour maps, inviting visitors to explore local stories. In this way, the company extends the experience from taste to travel, helping people build an emotional connection with the land.<\/p>\n
Guided by its commitment to \u201csocial inclusion\u201d and \u201ccare for disadvantaged groups,\u201d HANTECH Biotechnology actively participates in community engagement and charitable initiatives. The company has established a strategic partnership with NPO Channel and, through the \u201cFood Collection and Love\u201d initiative, turns goodwill into concrete action to help disadvantaged families find warmth and hope.<\/p>\n
At the 2025 BIO Asia\u2013Taiwan Exhibition, HANTECH Biotechnology used a large-screen, technology-inspired presentation to showcase its all-time, sustainable soft-pouch product solutions. Emphasizing \u201clocal innovation\u201d and the use of natural fruit and vegetable ingredients, the company aims to create products that are naturally smooth and easy to drink straight from the pouch, driving industry upgrades and expanding adoption across different consumer groups. In response to growing global health awareness and environmental challenges, HANTECH Biotechnology continues to deepen its use of local ingredients and cultural resources, transforming perishable fruits and vegetables into portable, easy-to-drink soft-pouch products. Guided by its principles of \u201cIntegrity and Excellence, Professionalism and Innovation, and Sustainable Shared Prosperity,\u201d the company seeks to expand its positive impact and work together with its partners toward a better future.<\/p>\n
