TPCREAIVE

Within mundane retired materials, we identify potentials for rebirth, evaluate designs with highest standards, and contribute to the environment.

Circular Economy as Sustainable Practices

Taiwan Power Company (TaiPower) is responsible for 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.

Recycled Materials in Diversity

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.

Products by TPCreative

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.

Recycled Wood Crossarm

E010 is the number designated to retired wooden Crossarms in TaiPower. The company transmits power to every venue and location, and electricity poles are fundamental in power grids, and wooden Crossarms carry various equipment on these poles. As transmission technologies evolve, roadside poles and cables have become rare, and wooden poles and wooden Crossarms are even more uncommon now. Retired wooden Crossarms continue to increase. TPCreative utilizes wooden Crossarms for other purposes, and hopes TaiPower can engage with our life in other ways.

KEEP UPCYCLING

In these structural recompositions, people certainly notice some seemingly familiar components. Either from roadside transformer boxes or curbside power poles, we rarely get to know those components well. TPCreative can at least retrieve three components for circular design from a power pole. After tests of time and natural forces, they are reborn with other functions in your homes. While they may not be glamorous at the first glance, these materials have withstood decades of quality tests outdoors.
