• Detailed information｜
  Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC) is a time-honored and state-owned enterprise in Taiwan that focuses on the production and sales of sugar and sugar byproducts. Following the government’s 5+2 Innovative Industries Plan, TSC has set its core strategy as “promoting new agriculture and moving towards circular Taiwan”. For instance, Bagasse from the sugar production process can be used as fuel for the sugar refinery.
  Currently, TSC has 4 major circular economy projects that are continuously operating. They are Dong Hai Feng Agricultural Circulation Park, Oyster Shell Biomaterial Plant, Taisugar Circular Village, and Sugar Making Industry. All of the projects are consumer-oriented, and will hopefully lead toward a circular Taiwan and a circular world.

Lilly will also introduce different methods of science communication and how storytelling can play a critical role in promoting the SDGs.
