Kikō advocates low-carbon life and invites more people to join in thinking about subtracting daily life and creating low-carbon footprint solutions that are in line with modern lifestyles. With environmental conservation as its mission, we promote the reuse of agricultural waste and develop environmentally friendly materials that consumers can feel safe with.
- The mountainous and hilly areas of southwestern Taiwan are rich in chrysanthemum. Bamboo has the characteristics of fast growth, strong fecundity, and short maturity period. Its carbon sequestration capacity is 3-6 times that of ordinary broad-leaved forest trees. However, only healthy bamboo forests can maintain such excellent carbon sequestration capabilities. When bamboo forests age, their carbon sequestration capabilities will also decrease. Proper thinning is required to maintain the health of bamboo forests.
Kikō purchases agricultural waste generated by thinning to reduce the burden of bamboo forest management on farmers and promote the health of bamboo forests. It can also reduce the risk of wildfire disasters caused by the lack of management of bamboo forests in mountainous areas of southwest China.
- Kikō insists on "local procurement, manufacturing, and low-carbon industrial chain" production to reduce carbon footprint. Work directly with farmers to establish a production and marketing supply chain within a radius of 30 kilometers to achieve low-carbon transportation. Under the influence of climate change and global warming, carbon reduction and carbon sequestration have become prominent. Solutions that are often discussed are very diverse, such as rainforest restoration, regenerative farming methods, seaweed farming, bamboo use, green energy roofs, etc., among which The use of bamboo is a hot topic in carbon reduction and carbon sequestration in various fields. Different from the pursuit of biodegradability of commercially available bamboo fiber products, in view of the fact that home composting habits are not yet common in modern life, the main environmental protection demands of products are durability and eco-friendliness, "carbon reduction" through agricultural waste recycling, and through bamboo forests "Carbon sequestration" of thinning management reduces carbon footprint
- The Kikō team cares about Errenxi environmental restoration and local culture, and cooperates with bamboo farmers to develop recycled bamboo products. Through innovative technology and industrial chain reconstruction, it reinterprets the contemporary significance of Errenxi bamboo culture.
