Circular Economy
CHIC Corporate Charity Program
PCSC worked with social enterprises and social welfare organizations to combine the concepts of the “circular economy of waste” and “employment assistance for families with cerebral palsy patients” to take advantage of the PET bottles and empty milk bottles in 7-ELEVEN stores for the zero-waste design by Story Wear. They are then handed to families with cerebral palsy patients and mothers working for non-profit organizations to sew into “sustainable products” that consumers can purchase in 7-ELEVEN stores or on the preorder website. This program realizes a circular economy as well as the concepts of environmental protection, plastic reduction and support for the groups in need, creating a win-win situation for PCSC, public welfare organizations and social enterprises.
| Products designed by social enterprise, 7-ELEVEN reverse logistics recycling |
7-ELEVEN recycles PET, empty coffee and milk bottles with reverse logistics before entrusting the waste raw materials to Story Wear, a zero-waste fashion social enterprise, for recycling, design and regeneration. |
| Mothers working in non-profit organizations handcraft zero-waste sustainable products |
Mothers of families with cerebral palsy patients and other non-profit organizations create handmade sustainable products including “Hugging Hedgehog Bag” and “Small Star and Moon Bag on Strap.” They can care for their children with cerebral palsy while making the products, allowing them to take care of their family and generate an income.
Both products are made of 100% recycled “zero waste” yarn made with PET bottles. The “Hugging Hedgehog Bag” is sewn with a product ID inside, showing its sustainable production process. The main motif is created by cerebral palsy patient Hai-Rong Yu, showing that he would like to make friends but is often disliked as he is not very good at communicating people. In time, he felt like a hedgehog that hurts people with quills without meaning to. The product tells people that “children with cerebral palsy want to be close to people and make friends.” The “Small Star and Moon Bag on Strap” is created by cerebral palsy patient Ying-Shiu Lin. She goes to a boarding school and misses her family a lot. That’s why she looks up in the sky and imagines she is a rabbit living on the moon, missing her hometown while gazing at the stars.

Shuishe Shopping Center Dedicates itself to Local Sustainability Issues
In order to support actions towards local sustainable issues, we provide the venue for the shopping mall to contribute to the sustainable development in Nantou. In 2022, the Sun Moon Lake Shuishe Shopping Center worked with Nan Kai University of Technology, Nantou Passion Fruit Sustainable and Nantou Good Products Alliance to host the “Qingqing Farmers’ Market.” Booths comply with the standards of SDGs participation, providing food and products for tourist in the shopping center. We also support Good to Go Container Rental Services by setting up a return station and rental point, encouraging tourists to consume fewer disposable containers and plastic, contributing to SDGs and incorporating the spirit of sustainability into everyday life.
Public Welfare Citizen Power Plant
-
The Society of Wilderness worked with PCSC to launch the “Environmental Education Support Habitat Protection Program” in 2021 by organizing the “Good Neighbor O2O Environmental Education Funfest” sessions. In 2022, PCSC took advantage of the monetary donation from the 7-ELEVEN Bring Back the Love program to promote the pilot project for citizen power plants by supporting the Society of Wilderness in setting up two citizen power plants in Kouhu Village, Yulin County and Majia Township, Pingtung County. We hope to help people learn more about citizen power plants and self-generation through this program, as well as setting up photovoltaic systems in remote areas with the funds raised to promote green energy, self-generation of green power for self-consumption, and take actions towards public welfare in these areas.
