THE STRAITS TIMES
Jun 16th, 2019
Making recycling "fun and sexy" is what Taiwanese entrepreneur Arthur Huang hopes to achieve through his mini Trashpresso - a mobile recycling plant that converts plastic waste into consumer products such as coasters and candleholders.
The Trashpresso consists of a 12m container housing a solid waste processing line.
It is the first innovation of its kind to be showcased in Singapore and was displayed at a Recycle Right event in Toa Payoh yesterday. The Trashpresso compacts the recycling process into three steps - reducing the size of the plastic waste, purification and reshaping.
