Plastics Industry Development Center (PIDC) was established and funded by the government and plastics industries in 1993. For the past 30 years, PIDC has been providing a wide range of services and assistance such as technology R&D, product verification, sustainability management counseling, talent training, etc.

The core services of PIDC are to assist in the processing of high-value plastic materials and related application technologies, providing manufacturers with the ability to carry out R&D, design, processing, and international validation and analysis. This enables companies to implement the vertical integrations from the application end of the industry to the development of raw materials and then to the development of complete solutions. To enhance the competitiveness of the industry, PIDC will guide the plastic industry and transform the industries that use plastics towards sustainability and innovations.
 

Services in PIDC:

• Technology R&D - “GRASS” is PIDC’s core of intense materials research and development. We have developed next-generation high-value plastics by combining five elements of value: green materials, recycled materials, advanced composites materials, smart materials and safe plastics.
• Analytical Verification - PIDC Verification Labs comply with international standards to provide testing and verification services for polymer-plastics materials, biodegradable plastics and customized products, etc.
• PIDC’s Dr. Plastic - It provides services for product life cycle analysis and examinations for the root causes of product failures. Dr. Plastic Labs would also implement practical solutions and conduct regular checks for follow-up actions.
• Sustainability - PIDC provides corporate sustainability counseling, environmental footprint counseling, sustainability design counseling and green marketing counseling.
• Talent Training - PIDC organizes training courses, vocational evaluation, marketing promotion and publications for our clients. 
• Biomedical Technology - PIDC builds the best one-stop medical device development service that includes medical device design and development ,verification and validation, regulatory counseling and talent training and promotion matching.
• Technology Transfer & Patent Licensing - PIDC has produced many key innovations and transfers the technology to proper industries every year.

Asia-Pacific Composite Technical Cooperation Center:

• The Asia-Pacific Composite Technical Cooperation Center, a collaboration between PIDC and ZwickRoell, was completed in 2022 and officially commenced operations in 2023. The laboratory is equipped with the composite testing machine from ZwickRoell, providing the necessary testing capabilities for domestic industries in Taiwan such as electric vehicles, wind power generation, and aerospace in the field of composites.
