Currently eminent persons in Taiwan, included Zhu Ming, Lin Huai-min, Shi Zhen-rong, Chen Wei-Zhao, Zhang Hui-mei, Xiao Huang-Qi, Zhan Yong-ran, and Lu Yan-xun were all had selected for awards.

UWin Nanotech Managing Director Hsu Ching-Hsiang, using his environmental metal stripping technological inventions, has destroyed the concept that gold can only be dissolved in highly corrosive aqua regia and highly toxic cyanide. He has created a non-toxic and humane working environment and enabled waste metal recycling to be more economically beneficial.

UWin Nanotech also held the “Golden Science Educational Camp” and the “Nanotech Educational Camp,” which were aimed at junior and elementary school students, in order to allow a sense of environmentalism and scientific thought to take root at an early age. Due to his leading the company team in their long-term charity work and promotion of environmentalism, he has earned a highly favorable reputation and was selected for the category of environmental protection.

Regarding this award, Hsu Ching-Hsiang is 100 percent modest and said that he and his team have been engaged in research and development of environmental technology for a period of six and a half years. However, it was not until after winning Gold medal prize in the INPEX (Invention & New Product Exhibition) in Pittsburg, U.S.A., that they began to gradually attract attention.

Looking back on his progress, Hsu Ching-Hsiang encourages younger people with the motto “first bitter and then sweet.” He stated that when he saw many people in China used of cyanide poisoning, resulting in compassion inspire his determination to study environmental stripping gold technology, and after putting in a great deal of time and effort, it all now seems worthwhile.

He also believed that such environmental technology can make Taiwan more competitive internationally, and look forward to educate more environmental professional talent.

Finally, he shouted at the awards ceremony speech to say "To love the earth environmentally, YA!"
