As AI applications rapidly expand across PCs, mobile devices, and content creation workflows, there is a parallel surge in demand for high-resolution video, real-time generative content, and on-device inference. This transition is redefining storage within system architectures: it is no longer just a matter of capacity planning, but a critical determinant of performance, bandwidth, and reliability.To address this, AGI Technology has sharpened its strategy and will debut next-generation storage solutions at CES 2026, targeting the high-speed and usability demands of the AI era. PresidentMiranda Lee pointed out that while high specs are now "table stakes" across the market, the real differentiator going forward will be how well products adapt to real-world scenarios - and whether brands can sustain stable delivery and consistent quality.Miranda emphasized that AI is doing more than just driving capacity growth; it is fundamentally changing how data is utilized.First, edge computing and multi-task content creation are becoming the norm. This increases the frequency of data access and the need for mobility, transforming storage devices from auxiliary components into critical links in modern production workflows. Second, pricing dynamics are reshaping consumer behavior. As the cost of high-end storage and memory rises, the market is witnessing more "buy-down" purchasing and phased expansion: users tend to select mid-range configurations initially, supplementing capacity with external devices later. Third, high speed and capacity are increasingly becoming entry requirements rather than differentiators. With interfaces such as PCIe Gen4/Gen5 and USB4 continuing to advance, adhering to these specifications has become a baseline standard that all brands must meet.Consequently, AGI Technology is moving beyond differentiation through specifications alone. The company is transitioning its brand identity from a component manufacturer defined by performance metrics to a solutions provider centered on usage scenarios. This strategic realignment ensures that while AGI continues to advance speed and capacity benchmarks, it also integrates robust reliability and environmental durability into its core design philosophy. Miranda emphasizes that while performance is a baseline requirement, enhancing stability and durability addresses the practical demands of mobile and outdoor workflows. This comprehensive approach creates tangible added value for users requiring consistent performance under pressure.AGI Technology will center its CES presence around a scenario-driven strategy that prioritizes reliability and practical application. According to Miranda, CES has long served as a vital stage for showcasing AGI's technological prowess. However, the company's recent strategy emphasizes private, high-level briefings over traditional exhibit formats. By moving toward a semi-exclusive engagement model, AGI can more effectively align its product roadmap with customer needs, ultimately strengthening brand loyalty and enhancing the performance of its international channels.At CES 2026, AGI is set to translate its strategic vision into a powerhouse lineup of tangible innovations, headlined by next-generation storage solutions tailored for the AI era. Leading the charge is a 6nm PCIe Gen5 SSD capable of blistering speeds up to 11,000 MB/s.

As the world faces urgent climate challenges, governments worldwide are pledging to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, positioning clean energy at the core of energy transitions. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, known for their renewable and low-pollution attributes, have emerged as a crucial pillar in global net-zero strategies. However, as the solar market expands rapidly, a wave of PV module decommissioning is emerging. Recycling has become an increasingly pressing environmental issue. According to estimates from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the cumulative volume of end-of-life solar panels awaiting recycling will reach 730 million tons by 2050, creating an urgent and massive processing demand.In response, TSGC has introduced its innovative PV Circulator solution, featuring a unique physical, chemical-free, and heat-free dismantling technology rarely found globally. The solution enables complete separation of aluminum frames, glass, junction boxes, solar cells, back sheets and EVA layers - achieving a 99.3% material recovery rate. In recent years, TSGC has partnered with multiple recycled-materials companies to establish a circular materials ecosystem. The company will also showcase a breakthrough hydrogen-production technology - using recovered crystalline-silicon solar cells - at CES 2026, signaling its ambition to capture emerging opportunities in the global sustainable economy.TSGC Co-Founder and Distinguished Professor at the Department of Greenergy, National University of Tainan, Dr. Yao-Hsiang Fu, noted that current industry recycling technologies remain limited. Most recyclers remove only aluminum frames and wiring, while other components - difficult to separate at high purity - are typically incinerated in brick kilns and repurposed as tile materials. This results in the loss of high-value materials such as silver and silicon. "A single solar module contains approximately 0.6 kg of silicon and 4.8 grams of silver, representing far greater economic value than most people imagine," Fu emphasized. TSGC has already helped its partners obtain Taiwan's first license for PV module recycling and repurposing, marking a significant milestone for Taiwan's solar recycling industry.Rising ESG demands fuel the global sustainable economyTraditional PV recycling methods heavily rely on high-temperature thermal processing or chemical dissolution, which require significant energy consumption and may generate toxic gases and wastewater. Furthermore, these methods struggle to recover high-purity silicon wafers, silver, and copper in forms suitable for reuse. As a result, California has explicitly banned the disposal of solar panels through incineration or landfilling, accelerating the search for more environmentally friendly and economically viable recycling pathways.In 2024, TSGC received approval from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), becoming the seventh company in California certified for solar panel recycling - and the only company capable of fully dismantling and recovering all materials. TSGC is currently in discussions with the six existing recyclers in the state. By transferring collected PV modules to TSGC for processing, these companies will gain significantly higher material-recovery revenue than through conventional methods.Fu emphasized that as global sustainability awareness continues to rise, carbon-related regulations are rapidly evolving. For example, the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) already requires imported products to demonstrate low - or negative-carbon footprints. Products without transparent material sourcing and emissions data will struggle to enter international markets. Therefore, PV recycling is no longer merely an environmental solution - it is becoming a strategic driver of circular-economy development and international trade competitiveness. Identifying this pivotal moment, TSGC is positioned to lead the industry with a complete system for material recovery, reuse, and hydrogen production.High mobility represents TSGC's key advantage in entering the US marketTSGC has partnered with Taiwan Tech Arena (TTA) to strengthen its global footprint through participation in major international exhibitions and increased media exposure. The company has received recognition at events such as CES in the United States and VivaTech in France, boosting its global visibility and indirectly contributing to the approval of its solar panel recycling license issued by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).Fu noted that the United States hosts numerous utility-scale solar farms, many of which are approaching their 20-year operational lifespan - making solar panel recycling an imminent challenge. The TSGC PV Circulator offers exceptional mobility, allowing for on-site disassembly and material separation directly at the project location, significantly reducing transportation costs and providing a major competitive edge in the U.S. market.Looking ahead, TSGC will continue leveraging Taiwan's green energy R&D capabilities and global collaboration opportunities to further expand the applications of recycled solar materials across the energy, chemical, and green manufacturing sectors, strengthening the company's strategic role in the global sustainable economy.Credit: TSGC

Driven by the worldwide push for net-zero emissions and the rise of the circular economy, sustainability has become a central priority across the technology sector. The introduction of a dedicated sustainability zone at recent CES events further underscores how green materials and environmental innovation technologies have emerged as focal points at global tech exhibitions. Renouvo, a company with more than two decades of experience in biomaterials, is among the key players gaining increased attention in this industry shift.At CES 2026, Renouvo will unveil its new Low-Carbon Materials Platform, which integrates its proprietary negative-carbon technology with AI. The platform is designed to help global brands make measurable progress toward carbon-neutrality commitments, while expanding Renouvo's reach into the US consumer electronics supply chain.Founder and CEO Chris Huang noted that the company is honored to have been selected by TTA to participate in CES. He observed that major US consumer electronics brands are accelerating their ESG initiatives, actively seeking new materials with negative-carbon or low-carbon attributes - whether for device enclosures or protective packaging components. In recent years, several international brands have approached Renouvo for collaboration, aiming to reduce carbon emissions at the material source and achieve verifiable sustainability outcomes.Unique hydrogen-bonding patent and third-party verification strengthen material reliabilityRenouvo has long focused on plant-based materials, with a core mission of converting agricultural residues and biomass waste into market-ready low-carbon materials and plastic-free solutions. Beyond its own line of eco-friendly tableware, the company develops low-carbon and carbon-neutral materials for brand partners in the EU, Australia, and other regions, facilitating real-world adoption of circular-economy practices.According to Huang, although the number of companies offering recycled or "eco-friendly" materials has grown rapidly, truly durable, safe, and internationally deployable low-carbon materials remain scarce. Renouvo distinguishes itself by using agricultural waste - such as bagasse and spent coffee grounds - as primary feedstock, enhanced by its proprietary hydrogen-bonding technology. This innovation addresses the common limitations of plant-based materials, including softening and insufficient durability, while simultaneously delivering carbon-capture and carbon-sequestration benefits that reduce emissions at the source.To strengthen material credibility, Renouvo partners extensively with third-party verification bodies to establish comprehensive carbon footprint (CFP) reports, quantifying emissions across the entire product life cycle - from raw materials to manufacturing and final shipment. These transparent, verifiable datasets enable Renouvo's materials to be adopted in international supply chains and serve as a reliable foundation for brands evaluating ESG performance. Huang emphasized that the ability to provide clear, measurable carbon-reduction data is one of Renouvo’s most significant differentiators in the global materials marketplace.Negative-carbon materials integrated with AI strengthen adoption efficiency, with a focus on the US marketA major highlight of Renouvo's return to CES in 2026 is the debut of a new platform that integrates its carbon-negative material technology with AI. The platform analyzes key parameters - including material composition, process-level carbon emissions, durability, and cost structure - providing brands with comprehensive evaluation data prior to adoption. This significantly shortens material verification cycles and accelerates the transition from testing to mass production.Renouvo has participated in the TTA competition for two consecutive years and continues to seek CES exhibition opportunities, driven by the US market's increasingly stringent sustainability requirements for materials. Major US brands now demand verifiable evidence of carbon-neutral commitments and transparent supply-chain metrics. By leveraging visibility from CES and TTA, Renouvo aims to expand collaboration with leading US technology and consumer electronics companies, accelerate global adoption of negative-carbon materials, and position itself as a key partner in supporting multinational brands' sustainability strategies.Looking ahead, Renouvo plans to continue enhancing its AI-enabled materials platform, expand its carbon-footprint database, and strengthen customized service capabilities. The company's objective is to become a strategic partner for North America's top green-materials supply chains within the next three years. Huang emphasized that sustainability cannot remain at the level of slogans or declarations - it must be verifiable and quantifiable. Only when brands can clearly track and measure carbon-reduction outcomes will sustainable materials become mainstream, which is the core message Renouvo aims to deliver worldwide.Renouvo's diverse product portfolio.
