啡塑家園展新貌

我國近年來由於海邊活動迅速發展，在遊客的聚集下，常常留下遍地的垃圾，其中，佔據最多的是塑膠垃圾中的寶特瓶，每年淨灘平均能撿拾到100萬支的寶特瓶，造成嚴重的海洋汙染，為了緩解海洋垃圾的增加，政府也積極宣導資源回收的重要性。台灣每年約回收40億支廢寶特瓶，每年消費約35億杯的咖啡，每年消耗的數量龐大，製造過多的廢棄物，造成環境汙染，我們除了可以從源頭減量和做好回收之外還可以怎麼減少廢棄物產生呢?
目前全球大力提倡循環經濟，讓廢棄物不是以往的使用後就丟棄，而是「循環再生」的應用，臺灣企業將咖啡渣和寶特瓶抽紗製成布料，經過再生利用達到循環回收的效果。
希望藉由本作品讓觀眾了解這些廢棄物還有不同的再利用價值與未來的發展性。

Documentary of Revolutionary Recyclable Use of Grounded Coffee & Plastics into Yarn

In recent years, seaside activities in Taiwan grow rapidly. As the amount of tourist visits increases, seasides are strewn with litter. Plastic bottle has the largest amount among those litter, a million of plastic bottles can be collected at beach each year. It has caused serious ocean pollution. To ease the increase of marine debris, government promote the importance of recycling actively.
Taiwan recycles 4 billion plastic bottles and consumes 3.5 billion cups of coffee annually. Large amount of consumption causes excessive waste and leads to environmental pollution. Besides reducing the consumption and encouraging recycling, what else can be done to reduce the generation of waste?
In recent, circular economy is encouraged globally. Instead of disposal after using, circular economy allows the application of regenerative cycle. Taiwan industry has regenerated the coffee grounds and bottles into fabric. Recycling effect is achieved through the regenerative cycle.
The purpose of this documentary is to introduce the possible methods of handling waste and future development .
