(Midterm) Reusing Recycled Materials

For the midterm projects, I wanted to focus on ways to reuse recycled materials. A number of plastics and paper wastes produced everyday world widely and they harm the ecosystem. I saw one video that straw is stuck into a turtle’s nose. This made me realize that a single straw that I use for drinking a cup of coffee from a cafe can be effective for animals from the natural environment. Therefore, I would like to study how those wastes, such as plastics, can reuse in daily life.

 

Besides plastics, paper wastes are also a problem in the ecosystem as an average of three hundred million tons of papers are produced each year according to the research. Books, notes, magazines, and other paper sources are scraped when they are not sold. For this concern, I find an interesting experimental video that shows how to make a paper out of a recycled paper. By simply using scrap/used papers and starch, reusable papers are.

Likewise, I want to create a design book that collects tips for reusing recycled materials. Therefore, people can be aware of the seriousness of an ecosystem that is harmed by plastics, or papers. Also, sharing tips with people that can be used in daily life so they can utilize them in daily life.
