Eco-friendly FuBear Merchandise: Tote Bag and Travel Planner
FuBear Merchandise Made of Water Hyacinths
Taiwan Excellence PH entrusted Filipino brand, Jacinto & Lirio, for the production of the FuBear merchandise. The brand innovatively fabricates vegan leather goods out of water hyacinth plants from the Philippines. As found in the Jacinto & Lirio website, the water hyacinth is an invasive plant that affects local flora and fauna and even majorly contributes to flooding in local communities.
Taiwan Excellence PH is releasing two merch items: the tote bag and travel planner. These products further display FuBear’s initiative to inspire more Filipinos in incorporating sustainability in their everyday lives, by choosing greener options as their day-to-day items.

Where Can We See FuBear Next?
Filipinos can definitely expect more of FuBear in the Philippines in the near future. For updates on FuBear’s journey, follow Taiwan Excellence PH on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TaiwanExcellence.ph.
