Meeting with community
In this meeting, we discussed how to sell products in campus stores and how campus stores need to better present their products. The manager thought it was a good idea to sell coasters, cup holders, and pen holders in the store. The stationery is the most popular item in this shop. Students need to buy pens for this. We also came up with the idea of making a phone case. The manager also believed that it was possible to sell as long as we could produce a viable product.
We also found a case of brand new notebooks (about 400) that I had barely noticed due to some technical glitch and was heading back to the manufacturing plant. We asked the manager to ask how the factory would dispose of or recycle the notebooks. At the same time, we also want to help managers understand how to better dispose of these laptops and reduce waste and loss.
The manager also told us that the design of the campus store was originally designed for the bookstore. That’s why there are so many empty cupboards on the shelves. We found that the layout of the campus stores was not clean and efficient enough to make full use of the space. There are also many expired items that cannot be sold on the shelves. Therefore, we may need to provide some ideas on the future campus store arrangement.
We might make a slant display stand that can be assembled, with the body cut out of wood, the container part made out of bookshelves, and the connection part made out of recyclable plastic.

Reading The truth about bioplastics
Plastic recycling is a very troublesome thing. The core problem is that the cost after recycling is higher than that of new plastics. Considering that biological fermentation is actually a chemical reaction, it will attack from the weakest link. Therefore, bioplastics are in a slightly harsh environment. This kind of plastic can be degraded. Theoretically, the method of disposal is to throw it in the ground casually, so it can be landfilled. Bioplastics are a very bright prospect, but the biggest problem at present is expensive. To solve the expensive problem, it also needs to solve the problem of production time, and the use of performance is still the primary concern, so the development is not fast. At present, the promotion of biodegradable plastics in agriculture is a very good direction. First, there is a demand for this aspect, and the second is that it does not require high other properties, and the amount is large, which can support the development of the industry. Of course, medical products are also a very important demand field. It can be recycled, but the cost may not be worthwhile. Thermoplastic materials can be recycled directly by thermal processing. There is no need to degrade. The purpose of degradation is more not to recycle, because recycling may cost more. So enough performance is very important. Recycling does not necessarily require degradation. Whether to recycle or not depends on national policies and reclaim profits.
