Project Overview: 

Waste sorting and recycling: The project set up waste sorting and recycling stations on each floor, effectively sorting, storing and transporting waste, reducing waste mixing and contamination. The project cooperated with local waste recyclers, selling recyclable waste such as paper, plastic, metal, etc. to them, thereby achieving waste reuse and income increase.

Waste reduction and reuse: The project reduced waste generation by optimizing design and procurement. For example, the project used detachable and reusable building materials, avoiding a large amount of construction waste. The project also used waste batteries, circuit boards, etc. as artworks and decorations, showing the aesthetic value and creativity of waste.
