Within mundane retired materials, we identify potentials for rebirth, evaluate designs with highest standards, and contribute to the environment.
以循環經濟,實踐環境永續台灣電力公司肩負供給全臺所有電力需求之責任,電力本業核心在於追求資源耗用與能量輸出間的最大效益。在使用地球資源的同時,我們亦時時思考關於環境永續的議題。 台電文創,是台灣電力公司以循環經濟追求環境永續的實踐。我們收集發電過程所產生的副產品、廢棄設備、回收料件資源,經過實驗研發與精良的設計程序,再次投入產品製造的循環中。期待台電文創的作品,深入每個家戶的生活場景裡,喚起消費者對環境意識的共感。 |
Circular Economy as Sustainable Practices Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) is responsiblefor supplying electricity to everyone in Taiwan. The business, at its core, is about optimal efficiency between resource consumption and energy outputs. While consuming resources, we continue to contemplate on environmental sustainability. TPCreative represents how Taipower practices environmental sustainability with a circular economy. We collect byproducts, discarded equipment, and retrieved components in the power generation process. After experiments, development, and sophisticated design pipelines, these resources are put back into production. We hope TPCreative items can appear in daily household scenarios, and elevate environmental awareness among consumers.

台電文創商品,使用電業回收而來的循環經濟材料為基礎,經過解構、重組,再次賦予它們新生命。我們到水庫挖取抽蓄水力發電的淤積底泥,從退役電線桿拆下滿是歲月刻痕的木橫擔、與它形影不離的電線桿號牌;曾經發光發熱但已經燃燒殆盡的煤灰;形式不一但同樣磨練出耀眼色澤的絕緣礙子;還有路邊風吹日晒雨淋的變電箱外殼,以及抽蓄電廠渦輪機內稀有的封水銅條。
它們的共同點是:都曾在發電與供電過程中,為穩定的電力供應盡過一份心力。
TPCreative merchandise is based on recycled and circular materials. They are deconstructed and recomposed into a new life. We have dredged sludge from hydropower reservoirs. From retired power poles, we have taken number plates and wooden arms covered in time traces. We have retrieved fly ashes from coal-powered plants. We have also retrieved used voltage insulators. There are more materials waiting for next opportunities to shine again. All these materials, either in power generation or supply processes, have contributed to energy stability.
台電文創出品的所有商品,皆與臺灣知名設計品牌共同合作;除了挖掘有故事的材料,我們也四處尋找對產品設計有獨到見解的設計師。特別的素材帶來更多想像空間,讓設計發揮得更加淋漓盡致。是的,台電不懂設計,但同為專業人士,我們尊重設計專業。
For all products, TPCreative collaborates with renowned design brands in Taiwan. Besides exploring materials with stories, we also look for designers with unique views and insights on product design. These special materials offer room for imagination, and bring design to the next level. While TaiPower does not know about design, we know how to respect professionals and their expertise.
