[Upcycle] more familiar]
Shonan Trading is engaged in activities to make the "upcycling" familiar.
For example, plastic bottle caps are melted with heat and poured into a mold and transformed into various things such as rulers, carabiners, golf markers, etc. You can also make tables and benches with presses and extrusion machines. By experiencing the appearance of a plastic bottle cap in front of you, you can learn about upcycle in an easy-to-understand manner.
What is upcycling: The process of transforming waste into new products that have even increased (upgraded) instead of just reusing waste.
