About DB Schenker Upcycling Hub uYilo lwaNgaphakathi lweGumbi lokuTyela

I-DB Schenker Upcycling Hub yindawo yangaphakathi yegumbi lokutyela elingange-400 yeemitha ezisikwere elikwiSingapore. Olu yilo luguqula izinto ezilahliweyo zibe ziimpawu ezisebenzayo, kuquka ne-chandelier eyenziwe ngeethayile ezishicilelwe nge-filament eyenzelwe ngokukhethekileyo eveliswe ngokupheleleyo ngeebhotile ze-PET ezicacileyo. Ngaphezulu kwe-500 yeekhilogram zeeplastiki ezisetyenziswa kanye zaphinda zasetyenziswa kule projekthi. I-polystyrene foam evela kwizinto zokupakisha, ikhadibhodi evela kwiibhokisi zezothutho, iipalethi zomthi ezilahliweyo kunye nomgangatho werabha ephinda yasetyenziswa nazo zasetyenziswa. Injongo kukubonisa amandla e-upcycling kunye noyilo olujikelezayo.
