Secondary Forest

Education of Secondary Forest, CLC builds the green inclusive future
► Goal: Complete a total of 40 paper libraries by 2030.

Every piece of paper is an extension of trees; recycling paper can create a second forest, allowing resources to be regenerated. Recognizing that basic education as a cornerstone of progress, and in response to the UN SDGs 4 vision for quality education, CLC has been leveraging its core papermaking competencies since 2014 to establish "Paper Libraries" throughout Taiwan. These libraries inject reading and environmental education resources into rural areas, enabling every teacher and student to learn about and protect the environment through reading and exposure to paper resources. In recent years, CLC has been connecting with various stakeholders to hold sustainable workshops and co-create paper libraries through diverse and innovative methods, thereby deeply embedding the sustainable value of second forests into society.

Celebrating the Paper Library Project’s 10th anniversary in 2023, CLC observed trends such as an aging population, declining birth rates, and idle campus spaces. Through participation in the "Urban Industry Innovation (New Taipei City) Project" organized by the Industrial Development Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Taiwan Design Research Institute, CLC has integrated resources from industry, government, and academia, introduced external design capabilities, and completed the 1st intergenerational inclusive learning classroom in Taiwan’s paper libraries. This innovative design transformation of the next generation of paper libraries lays a solid foundation for Taiwan to become an international model city for sustainability and opens up a green, inclusive future.

1. 100% Recovered Paper Library

Not just a paper library, but Taiwan's 1st redesigned classroom for the elderly

To provide intergenerational learners with their own learning space, CLC has collaborated with the "Taiwan Design Research Institute," the "MUJI RENOVATION space transformation planning team," and "KIMU Design" in a cross-industry design partnership. With the support of the New Taipei City Education Bureau and Cultural Affairs Bureau, they have redesigned the supplementary school classroom at New Taipei Municipal Xin-Pu Junior High School, creating Taiwan's 1st intergenerational learning classroom tailored to the needs of the elderly.
