Ecological Sustainability and Education
Macronix's aim of eco-design is implemented by spending large amounts of resources to maintaining an area of nearly six hectares into a green grass covered park – Macronix Park. There are up to 1500 trees and other plants in the park including banyan trees, camphor tree, bamboo, and Taiwan acacia trees...etc, to name a few. Additionally, there is also a wide variety of water plants including yellow water lilies, duckweed, and Typha orientalis Presl...etc, there is always something different for every season of the year.
Macronix Park is open to the public and has become the main spot for Hsinchu schools and eco-awareness organizations to hold eco-efficiency education and training programs. Beginning from 2004, Macronix Park has received "Outstanding Landscape Award" from Hsinchu Science Park Administration for many years.
