University Students Establish a New Model for Recycling Used Plastic Bottles

What is in the bank is money, and everyone is familiar with it. However, there is a “green bank” in Xiasha that is very strange because it does not contain money but old plastic bottles. Although deposited in a plastic bottle cannot be converted into cash, "Green Bank" will reward you with some small gifts for your environmental protection.

Deposited in a plastic bottle, can lead the "green card"

"Green Bank" is a student of the Environmental Protection Association of Zhejiang University of Commerce and Technology who came up with the idea, of course, for the purpose of low-carbon environmental protection. When summer arrived, there were more students drinking beverages. The large and small plastic bottles were everywhere, so the "Green Bank" was busy again.

“We set up a booth in the school to recycle the plastic bottles in the hands of our students. We have a booklet and register the name and the name of each student’s department that holds the bottle. If it’s a big family, you can also open a “household” like As for the bank, it will be much more convenient to come back later," said the student in charge of the "Green Bank" Ling Hongru.

Saving money has interest, and there are "interests" in storing plastic bottles. Ling Hongru said with a smile that students who come to store plastic bottles will receive a “green card”, which is equivalent to a small certificate. They can later redeem some gifts from the clubs, and they can also give priority to participating in activities organized by the community. Moreover, like supermarket points, the more “green cards” you have, the more exchangeable gifts you have.

The money from selling plastic bottles for environmental protection expenses

"Green banks" often set up recycling of plastic bottles at schools, especially in the summer, and many people drink beverages. Ling Hongru said that the students are very supportive of this activity. Some students see the “green bank” setting up booths and will also rush to the dormitory to bring us extra plastic bottles. Therefore, once a booth is set up, at least a thousand plastics can be recovered. bottle.

However, where thousands of bottles were placed, it was actually a problem for environmental volunteers. After all, they were too occupied in school.

“Later, we still sold plastic bottles to the acquisition stations near the school and used the money they received to go to the bank to open a green account. Although the amount is still small, the cost will be used exclusively to promote environmental protection.” Ling Hongru said that they are uniting with Zhejiang University of Technology and other school organizations to organize a large-scale event to promote the importance of environmental protection to more people.

In addition to plastic bottles, "Green Bank" will also recycle other used products, such as old books, old boxes, etc. Each time a recycling day is held.

Now, the "Green Bank" is well-known in the school. Many students will take the initiative to pick up the waste and wait for it to be brought on the day of recovery.

Their goal: to spread "green outlets" in Xiasha

A while back, Xiasha Urban Management carried out urban cleaning activities. The “green bank” went out of the school, and the residents of the lower shoal promoted low-carbon environmental protection. The novel model attracted the attention of many citizens.

A staff member from Xiasha City Management said that many creative ideas of college students are very useful for reference. They will organize more university students to participate in urban management. "Such as 'green banks' is also recycling waste and plastic bottles, but it is very interesting and it is very easy for people to feel involved. Such a green organization should be a bit more."

Ling Hongru said that the students are preparing to link all the schools in Xiasha into one, and a “green bank” collection point is set up in each dormitory and teaching building. More points, recycling is more convenient, just like the current ATM machine, their goal is to spread the "green outlets" throughout Xiasha.
