CIRCU-Taiwan: Building Asia’s Circular Economic Hub with Cross-sector Collaboration
According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the construction industry (built environments) accounts for 40% of total carbon emissions. To address this challenge, CIRCU-Taiwan will capitalize on innovative technologies and industry chain integration to push for the annual recycling of over 200 million metric tons of inorganic resources, generating critical momentum for Taiwan’s net-zero transformation.
Cross-sector Integration: Building Asia’s 1st Circular Economy Hotspot
The establishment of CIRCU-Taiwan represents the integration of industry chains. More importantly, it announces Taiwan’s entry into the global circular economy. CIRCU-Taiwan convenor and Re-source Technology general manager Mr. Benjamin Lu shares that “With Taiwan’s unique brand of industrial resilience and innovation, CIRCU-Taiwan will connect with international partners to showcase Taiwan’s technologies and initiative toward green transformation.” In Taiwan, the circular economy goes beyond recycling and reuse. It reshapes industry values from three dimensions: engineering, science, and aesthetics, empowering cities, buildings, and land to become a part of sustainability efforts.
Three Areas of Focus: Taiwan’s Circular Strength Lies in Truth, Kindness & Beauty
One year after its establishment, CIRCU-Taiwan will be moving forward in three key areas of focus under the guiding framework of The Integration of Three Arts: Engineering Art, Scientific Art, and Aesthetic Art. Guided by the principles of TrueTaiwan, CONTaiwan, and Sustainable Taiwan, CIRCU-Taiwan aims to advance technologies, institutions, and culture together to elevate Taiwan’s circular economy to the next level. The three areas of focus include:
1. Building A Low-Carbon Circular Economy Industry Chain (CONTaiwan/Engineering Arts)
CIRCU-Taiwan will facilitate recycling, reuse, and better technologies for inorganic materials in Taiwan and build a circular system from waste to resource to direct resources back into markets and production, and encourage younger generations to return home and revitalize local economies.
2. Connecting Industries, Government Agencies, Academia, and Research Institutions for A National Demonstration Site (TrueTaiwan/Scientific Arts)
Aligning with the long-term goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, CIRCU-Taiwan will integrate government policies, academic research, and corporate applications to form a national team to facilitate implementation of regulations, accreditation, and standardization.
3. Encouraging Social Communication and Sustainability Consensus (Sustainable Taiwan/Aesthetics Art)
Through media and public engagement, CIRCU-Taiwan seeks to raise public awareness of circular industries and the low-carbon transformation to ensure that Truth, Kindness, and Beauty grow beyond ideals and become tangible and applicable cultures for circular industries.
The three areas of focus synergize and showcase the comprehensive development capacity of Taiwan’s circular economy from engineering to scientific validation to cultural beauty, empowering CIRCU-Taiwan as the sustainability hub connecting industries, policies, and society.
Three Benchmark Case Studies: Circular Economy Success
Success stories from CIRCU-Taiwan members:
- CHC Resources recycled converter slag, a steel production byproduct, into asphalt concrete aggregates. In application, asphalt concrete aggregates can improve the durability of roads by 3.6 times and has already received BS 8001 accreditation.
- Re-source Technology is evolving from a low-carbon material leader into the CIRCU-Taiwan model of Built Environments Creating Eco-diversity. The company has developed a low-carbon CLSM (Controlled Low-Strength Material) that boasts 80 kilograms fewer carbon emissions per cubic meter of product. The material is third-party certified and has acquired the Ministry of Environment’s Carbon Reduction Label. By translating carbon-reduction results into measurable “sustainability value” via reforestation projects, clients can report these achievements in ESG sustainability disclosures aligned with GRI standards.
- KEDGE Construction replaced traditional wood molds with aluminum formwork, reducing carbon emissions by 815 MTCO₂e per project and advancing the shift toward sustainable construction management.
Moving forward, CIRCU-Taiwan will continue to expand on industry cooperation, promote policy connections, and facilitate international exchanges to propel the alliance into the innovative demonstration site for the circular economy in Asia. In Taiwan, we are taking action to prove that circularity is changing the world.

VinFast Officially Enters Indonesia’s E-Scooter Market, Partners with Strategic Dealers
Accordingly, VinFast has signed strategic MoUs with its first partners in Indonesia, including K3, Citra Abadi Sedaya, PT Bevos Auto Mandiri, PT Sapta Jaya, MotorArt, PT Sinergies Dua Kawan, and PT HINU. These partners have long-standing experience in the distribution of automobiles and motorcycles, strong professional operational capabilities, deep market understanding, and the ability to rapidly deploy operations in line with VinFast’s standards.
VinFast will begin rolling out its distribution network in the Jabodetabek area — Indonesia’s largest economic and urban center — from the second quarter of 2026, with plans to expand to other regions nationwide.
In Indonesia, VinFast plans to introduce a portfolio of battery-swapping e-scooters, including VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II, VinFast Flazz and VinFast Viper, alongside additional new models to be launched in due course. The product lineup has been carefully engineered and calibrated to suit Indonesia’s tropical climate, dense urban traffic conditions, and everyday commuting patterns.
Throughout 2026, VinFast aims to further expand its footprint to hundreds of authorized dealerships and service workshops nationwide. The Company’s development strategy in Indonesia is designed as an integrated ecosystem, combining retail and after-sales networks, financing solutions, charging and battery-swapping infrastructure through cooperation with V-Green, and partnerships with leading financial institutions.
Prior to this announcement, VinFast had unveiled its strategy to internationalize its electric two-wheeler business and signed agreements with dealers in the Philippines. According to its roadmap, the Company will accelerate expansion across five priority markets in 2026, namely the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Malaysia. These countries represent high-growth economies with substantial urban mobility demand and a clear transition toward sustainable transportation solutions.
Ms. Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of VinFast E-Scooters Overseas Market, stated: “Indonesia is a strategic market in VinFast’s global e-scooter expansion journey. Partnering with leading local dealers underscores our partners’ confidence in VinFast’s product quality, service standards, flexible battery-swapping model, and long-term vision. We are committed to accompanying Indonesian consumers on their transition toward a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future of mobility.”
Indonesia stands among the world’s largest motorcycle markets, characterized by rapid urbanization, high population density in major cities, and increasing policy and consumer momentum toward environmentally friendly transportation. These structural factors create substantial headroom for the growth of the e-scooter segment. Indonesian dealers have expressed strong confidence in VinFast’s long-term potential in the country, citing its comprehensive green mobility ecosystem, large-scale manufacturing capabilities, and proven ability to execute swiftly across multiple international markets.
After two years of presence in Indonesia, VinFast has introduced a broad range of electric vehicles, from electric SUVs to models optimized for transportation services, and has commenced operations at its Subang facility. Concurrently, the Company has expanded its integrated ecosystem, including dealership and after-sales networks, charging infrastructure in collaboration with V-Green, and partnerships with leading banks and financial institutions. Through pioneering and customer-centric policies, VinFast continues to lower barriers to EV adoption and enable Indonesian consumers to participate in the global green mobility revolution.

Pacific Century Premium Developments Limited (“PCPD”, SEHK: 00432) has announced its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The consolidated revenue of PCPD and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) amounted to HK$ 1,046 million, representing an increase of 51% compared to the revenue of HK$ 695 million in 2024.
The consolidated net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year of 2025 was HK$ 69 million, compared to the net loss of HK$ 230 million in 2024.
Basic loss per share for 2025 was 3.38 Hong Kong cents compared to the loss per share of 11.29 Hong Kong cents for the previous year.
The Board of Directors has not recommended the payment of a final dividend for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In 2025, PCPD achieved robust full-year results, driven by the sustained surge in international travel across our key Asian markets, our operational strengths, and the continued recognition of our high-quality portfolio. This performance was underpinned predominantly by contributions from two segments: Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, our hospitality business in Hokkaido, which delivered a notable rise in occupancy and revenue, and our ski and recreation operations in Niseko, Hokkaido, which also saw a surge in demand and revenue.
Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, our hotel operations in Hokkaido, delivered a robust performance in 2025, as the boom in Japan‘s tourism sector continued throughout the year, again with record-breaking tourist arrivals. The average occupancy rate of Park Hyatt Niseko increased by 4 percentage points.
During the winter season of 2024/2025, total ski-lift and gondola rides increased 9% year-on-year. The travel surge continued to drive robust demand for our recreational business in Niseko well beyond the cold months.
In Phang Nga, Thailand, the Group has sold or reserved 40% of Phase 1A villas. The Group’s revenue from its property development in Thailand totalled HK$14 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to no revenue in 2024.
We formed a strategic alliance with Hotel Properties Limited in Singapore to bring a Four Seasons Resort and Branded Residences to the prestigious integrated resort community of Aquella in Phang Nga. The move represents a significant milestone in PCPD‘s long-term vision of transforming Aquella into a visionary integrated resort destination that effortlessly blends luxury living, recreation and exceptional service.
In Jakarta, Indonesia, the occupancy of our premium commercial building, Pacific Century Place, Jakarta (“PCP Jakarta”), was stable throughout the year, and the project remained a consistent revenue contributor to the Group. As of December 31, 2025, the office space committed occupancy was 87%, compared to 85% in the previous year.
Development of the superstructure of the Group‘s project at 3–6 Glenealy, Central, Hong Kong, has been progressing well. We have reached a key structural milestone, with the superstructural work now completed and installation of the curtain walls progressing at pace. The name of the development has also been unveiled as “Central Residence by the Park”, and its completion is scheduled for the first half of 2026.
In the long run, we remain cautiously optimistic about the long-term outlook for property sectors in Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia. With PCPD‘s disciplined execution and proactive risk management, we have confidence in our ability to drive continued growth and deliver sustained value.
Mr. Benjamin Lam, PCPD’s Deputy Chairman and Group Managing Director, said: “We will maintain our prudent yet proactive approach, allocating resources carefully and pursuing value-enhancing initiatives. Our priority remains to drive sustainable growth, improve profitability, and deliver solid returns to shareholders and stakeholders.”
