About DB Schenker Upcycling Hub Idizayini Yangaphakathi Yendawo Yokudlela
I-DB Schenker Upcycling Hub iyindawo yangaphakathi yokudlela engamamitha-skwele angu-400 etholakala eSingapore. Idizayini iguqula izinto ezilahliwe zibe yizici ezisebenzayo, okuhlanganisa i-chandelier eyakhiwe ngamathayela aphrintwe nge-filament eyenzelwe ngokukhethekile ekhiqizwe ngokuphelele emabhodleleni e-PET acwebezelayo. Ngaphezu kwamakhilogremu angu-500 amapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye kuphela aphinde asetshenziswa kule phrojekthi. Kwasetshenziswa futhi i-polystyrene foam evela ekupakisheni, ikhadibhodi elivela emabhokisini ezokuthutha, ama-pallet okhuni alahliwe kanye nephansi lenjoloba elivuselelwe. Inhloso ukukhombisa amandla e-upcycling kanye nedizayini eyisiyingi.
