recycling and reuse
By Anna Yang
How to make a brand new item from the recovered items and sell it, even if it is recycled again, it can be remade again. This is Mr. Mark’s question.
In Taiwan, more than 70,000 tons of clothes have been eliminated in recent years. In addition to selling these clothes as second-hand clothes abroad, they can also be treated differently. After removing some buttons, metal zippers, and other items, add them. Some other materials can be turned into brand-new environmentally friendly wood. Environmentally friendly wood is lighter than wood, will not be damp, and is even harder than wood. It is not a problem to discard it after use. It can also be brought back to the factory to be made into other things!
The blankets on the plane are hygienic, so every passenger will discard them after using them. Can these things have to be burned? no! After special disinfection and sterilization, after processing, it can become an environmentally friendly disinfector for disinfecting mobile phones. Although it cannot eliminate most viruses, it is already a very powerful technology when the epidemic is rapidly heating up and everyone is in danger.
After recycling, PET bottles can be made into many different things. Among them, the clothes made from PET bottles were introduced to us by Mr. Mark. Although recycled garbage can be re-made into different things, these things are actually being made. At times, some resources will be wasted. For example, cooling machines require water. Advanced technology does bring many conveniences, but these inventions are not for people to continue to destroy the earth, but to repair the earth that has been harmed by humans.
回收再利用
如何利用回收的東西製作成一個全新的物品，並且銷售，就算再回收一次也能再重新製作，這是Mark老師在思考的題目。
近年來在台灣，人們淘汰的衣服已經超過7萬噸了，這些衣服除了可以當成二手衣賣到國外，還可以有不一樣的處理方式，將一些鈕扣、金屬拉鏈等物品去除後，再加些其他材料，就可以變成一個全新的環保木頭，環保木頭比木頭輕，還不會受潮，甚至還比木頭堅硬，使用後丟棄也完全不是問題，還可以帶回工廠製作成其他的東西呢！
飛機上的毛毯為求衛生，所以每位乘客使用完就會丟棄，這些東西難道就只能燒毀嗎？不是喔！經過特殊的消毒殺菌，再經過加工處理，就可以變成消毒手機的環保消毒器，雖然無法消滅大部分病毒，但是在疫情急遽升溫，人人自危的情況下，已經算是很厲害的科技了。
寶特瓶回收過後可以做成很多種不同的東西，其中寶特瓶製作而成的衣服是Mark老師帶來介紹給我們的，雖然回收垃圾可以重新做成不同的東西，但其實這些東西在製作時也還是會再浪費一些資源，例如冷卻機器需要用到水。科技發達確實帶來許多便利，但是這些發明不是為了讓人們繼續破壞地球，而是為了修復遭人類傷害的地球。
