About DB Schenker Upcycling Hub Muundo wa Ndani wa Chumba cha Chakula

DB Schenker Upcycling Hub ni muundo wa ndani wa chumba cha chakula wenye ukubwa wa mita za mraba 400 uliopo Singapore. Muundo huu hubadilisha vifaa vilivyotupwa kuwa vipengele vya matumizi, ikiwa ni pamoja na chandelia iliyotengenezwa kwa vigae vilivyochapishwa kwa kutumia filamenti maalum iliyotengenezwa kikamilifu kutokana na chupa za PET zilizo wazi. Zaidi ya kilogramu 500 za plastiki za matumizi ya mara moja zilitumika tena katika mradi huu. Povu la polistirini kutoka kwenye vifungashio, kadibodi kutoka kwenye masanduku ya usafirishaji, paleti za mbao zilizotupwa na sakafu ya mpira iliyorejelezwa pia vilitumika. Lengo ni kuonyesha uwezo wa urejelezaji wa kuongeza thamani na muundo wa mzunguko.
