Pioneering Sustainability with Interactive Display Solutions
TAIPEI, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual and EdTech solutions, is proud to announce that it has become the world's first brand to achieve a Gold rating from the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT), the world's premier electronics ecolabel, in the signage display category. This certified ViewBoard interactive display stands out in the category, which encompasses both touch and non-touch displays, demonstrating the company's dedication to providing products that reduce environmental impact during production and use while supporting a circular economy.
EPEAT evaluates electronic products based on their environmental impact, and the Gold rating signifies the highest level of environmental performance. Products with a Gold rating meet the most stringent sustainability criteria, including reduced hazardous materials, energy efficiency, and product longevity.
"As a global solution provider, we are committed to ensuring our products and supply chain adhere to the highest eco-friendly standards without compromising on quality," said Bonny Cheng, Chief Operating Officer at ViewSonic. "Achieving the first EPEAT Gold rating in the signage display category is a testament to our relentless pursuit of sustainability. We will continue to provide environmentally responsible solutions that meet and exceed global standards."
Setting a New Standard for Sustainable Interactive Displays
The EPEAT Gold-rated 65" ViewBoard series is made with over 90% post-consumer recycled materials, exceeding the market standard. Designed with environmental responsibility in mind, the ViewBoard series reduces the use of harmful chemicals, ensuring technological advancements while being mindful of the planet.
Another key to achieving the Gold rating is ViewSonic's dedication to promoting a responsible and transparent supply chain. The company assists its suppliers in establishing comprehensive environmental management systems and creating a Full Material Disclosure (FMD) to meet strict criteria. This involves disclosing the substances in the materials, components, and parts, ensuring the product meets the highest environmental standards.
Expanding Sustainability Across ViewSonic's Display Portfolio
In addition to this recent achievement, ViewSonic has a variety of solutions that have been compliant with EPEAT Gold since 2023. The company has also achieved the highest number of EPEAT Silver certifications for its interactive and commercial displays in the signage display category, and 90% of its WorkPro Series monitors are also EPEAT certified.
ViewSonic's EPEAT Gold-rated products encompass the ViewBoard IFP6533 Series, various ergonomic WorkPro monitors, and the ColorPro pre-calibrated monitor, renowned for its exceptional color performance[1]. Furthermore, its laser and LED projector lineups feature energy-saving models with high brightness and lifespans of up to 60,000 hours. These lamp-free light sources offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional mercury-based lamp projectors.
ViewSonic is committed to sustainability and focuses on social and environmental values. Aiming to exceed environmental regulatory standards, the company actively adopts additional measures to ensure its products and operations set new benchmarks in sustainability standards. By committing to reach net-zero emissions by 2050—a goal validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2024—ViewSonic demonstrates its dedication to sustainability through the adoption of renewable energy, supply chain decarbonization, development of low-carbon products, and enhancement of product efficiency, showcasing its commitment to sustainability.

- A striking 4-meter-tall kaleidoscopic installation inspired by blue-and-white porcelain will be on display, along with a variety of blue-and-white-porcelain-themed art gifts available for redemption by shoppers
HONG KONG, Sept. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue-and-white porcelain, renowned for its jade-like surface and cloud-like blue patterns, is celebrated as a treasured cultural artifact with a history spanning thousands of years in China. In its ongoing commitment to promoting cultural heritage, Temple Mall is presenting the "Blue-and-White Porcelain Impressions" art event, running from now until 31 October. The event features an exhibition and photo-worthy installations centred around blue-and-white porcelain.
Local artist Angel Hui has been invited to create four new works that blend the rich traditions of this ancient art form with the unique culture of Wong Tai Sin. Through these artistic expressions, the event seeks to offer the public an opportunity to appreciate the enduring beauty of this millennia-old treasure.
Collaborating with artist Angel Hui to create new blue-and-white porcelain works, inspired by Wong Tai Sin
In collaboration with Temple Mall, Angel Hui has created four blue-and-white porcelain pieces inspired by the distinctive character of Wong Tai Sin. Growing up in the area, Hui often draws from everyday life in her art. Her latest works capture the essence of Wong Tai Sin, reflecting authentic Hong Kong culture. Themes include the local "worshipping and blessing" traditions, the Wong Tai Sin Temple, and the classic "one pot, two pieces" custom of Hong Kong tea houses. Hui masterfully integrates these elements with porcelain patterns from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, creating a seamless blend of history and modernity.
In addition to her blue-and-white porcelain works, Hui is also renowned for her embroidered goldfish on plastic bags, a classic series that was previously exhibited at Art Basel Hong Kong. To complement the event's theme, Hui has recreated nine blue-and-white embroidered fighting fish, which are now on display at the mall, bringing her iconic work to life once again.
For those looking to explore the culture and history of blue-and-white porcelain, the interactive exhibition on the mall's first floor provides a rich experience. Visitors can trace the evolution of blue-and-white porcelain through the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, view Hui's new creations for the event up close, and discover other works of hers previously exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
Join Angel Hui for an immersive Blue-and-White Porcelain Art Workshop
To promote the cultural heritage of blue-and-white porcelain, Angel Hui will be hosting a workshop at Temple Mall on 5 October. This workshop offers participants an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the art of blue-and-white porcelain and to discover the joy of creative expression.

Additionally, on the weekends of 5-6 and 12-13 October, Temple Mall North will host a weekend art and cultural market, where Hui will also be present. Visitors can explore and take home beautifully crafted cultural and creative items.
