About DB Schenker Upcycling Hub Kev Tsim Qauv Sab Hauv Chav Noj Su

DB Schenker Upcycling Hub yog ib chav noj su sab hauv uas muaj 400 square metres nyob rau hauv Singapore. Txoj kev tsim qauv no hloov cov khoom pov tseg mus ua cov khoom siv tau zoo, xws li ib lub teeb chandelier uas ua los ntawm cov pib tiles luam tawm los ntawm ib hom filament tshwj xeeb uas tsim tag nrho los ntawm cov raj mis PET pom kev. Muaj ntau tshaj 500 kilograms ntawm cov yas siv ib zaug tau raug rov qab siv dua hauv txoj haujlwm no. Cov ua npuas polystyrene los ntawm khoom ntim, cov ntawv tawv los ntawm cov thawv thauj khoom, cov txee ntoo pallets pov tseg thiab cov pobzeb roj hmab recycled rau hauv pem teb kuj tau raug siv thiab. Lub hom phiaj yog los qhia txog lub peev xwm ntawm kev rov siv khoom qub ua khoom tshiab (upcycling) thiab kev tsim qauv vojvoog (circular design).
