LCY Group Chairman Bowei Lee received the 2025 IISRP General Award from the International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers (IISRP) at the 65th IISRP Annual General Meeting held in Dublin, Ireland. As one of the highest honors in the synthetic rubber industry, the General Award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to global industry development, technological innovation, and sustainable transformation. Bowei has been a longtime champion of materials science innovation and the advancement of green technologies. Under his leadership, LCY Chemical Corp. has delivered significant breakthroughs in green materials, carbon neutrality, and the circular economy—driving meaningful progress toward a more sustainable future for the industry.
Bowei remarked: “This recognition from the IISRP is a testament to LCY’s commitment to innovation and sustainable development in synthetic rubber by our teams in Taiwan, China, the United States, and Europe. The synthetic rubber industry is facing challenges such as changing market demands, tightening environmental regulations, and carbon emissions management. In response, the industry must improve material performance to reduce environmental impact. LCY will continue to develop advanced materials and technologies, promote sustainable development, and deepen collaboration across the industry to accelerate the transition to a greener future.”
As a long-standing partner of the IISRP, LCY will seek to engage more actively in global technical exchanges and respond to global environmental trends through the development and innovative application of green materials—strengthening its competitiveness in the advanced materials industry.
