With the rapid development of global carbon management and green regulations, carbon reduction for enterprises is no longer just a task for a single department, but an important issue that extends from material procurement and product design to supply chain management.
In 2026, the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) officially entered the substantive charging phase; in July of the same year, the Digital Product Passport (DPP) registration system was officially launched. With these two major green regulations coming into effect one after another, Taiwan's export-oriented manufacturing industry faced unprecedented compliance pressure.Supply chain carbon reductionIt's no longer just a number in ESG reports, but a key threshold that directly affects orders and market access.
August 20, 2026GIGABYTE Technology(GIGABYTE) hosted the 10th session of its CSR series, themed "PCR New Strategy: Facing CBAM, DPP, and ESG," inviting...Carbon cycle materials(CRAM) CEO Lin Xuanlong and Business Director Su Yilun served as lecturers for senior management, ESG team members, and others.Supplier PartnersSpecialized training sessions were conducted. The sessions involved in-depth analysis and training.recycled materialsandrecycled plasticThe practical applications were discussed, and 19 practical questions raised by colleagues and suppliers were addressed one by one.
PCR materials: From "carbon reduction option" to "compliance necessity"
The CBAM (EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) requires that products imported into the EU be declared.Embedded carbon emissionsAnd purchase vouchers; DPP (EU)Digital Product PassportThis requires product disclosure.Material source, carbon footprint, recycling rateInformation throughout the entire lifecycle. Both point to a core need:Trustworthy, traceable, and verifiable supply chain carbon data.
而 PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) materialsThis is precisely the key solution to simultaneously address the issues of carbon emissions and traceability. According to TÜV carbon footprint verification data from CRAM (Carbon Recycling Materials Ltd.),The carbon emissions of 100% PCR plastic are only one-tenth that of virgin materials.；The carbon emissions of 100% PCR aluminum are only one-twentieth of those of coal-fired power plants and aluminum.Taking GIGABYTE's planned PCR heatsink as an example, it will use 120,000 pieces, totaling 2,004 kg of recycled aluminum material, annually, resulting in a total annual carbon reduction of 30,086 kg, equivalent to the carbon reduction effect of planting 3,009 trees.
From materials to platform: CarbonID builds a traceable, low-carbon supply chain.
In response to DPP's stringent requirements for product traceability, CRAM (Carbon Recycling Materials Co., Ltd.) developed... CarbonID carbon traceability platformProvides complete traceability of circular materialsProduction history management,Intelligent carbon footprint calculationandProfessional report generationThis feature helps companies prepare in advance for the DPP compliance requirements that will be implemented on January 1, 2027.

Low-carbon transformation is not just about changing materials; it's about changing the entire supply chain.
CRAM (Carbon Recycling Materials Co., Ltd.) would like to express its sincere gratitude to GIGABYTE for the invitation and trust. From using recycled plastics and aluminum to build low-carbon industrial servers, to continuously sharing sustainability knowledge with supplier partners through CSR education and training, GIGABYTE is taking concrete actions to promote low-carbon products and a sustainable supply chain.
We are honored to be a part of it.
CRAM (Carbon Recycling Materials Co., Ltd.) will continue to work with GIGABYTE and more corporate partners to make recycled materials move from "usable" to "trustworthy, quantifiable, and sustainable".
