Being the Gold
Many people said that to reprocess the recycling resources was like a new alchemy. It not only reprocessed the goods, but also created employment opportunities. In addition, it released the burden of the Earth. The DVD of “The War of Garbage Transformation”, published by TDEP, had some good examples of recycling:
1. Plastic Bottles: to re-make as sleeping bags, pillows, ski jackets, and toy plugs.
2. Styrofoam: clothes racks, flower pot, and building materials.
3. Glass: floor tiles, wall tiles, asphalt, permeable bricks, and tables & chairs on sidewalks.
4. Paper: One ton of paper could produce 800 kilograms of reprocessed paper. If it was all made by wood, it would need the trees which were 20~40 years old. Reprocessed paper could mainly make two kinds of packing paper. One waskraft paper and the other was white pasteboard.
