Material regeneration is the most important humanistic care! 

Regenerated Plastic: Reshape the body. Faced with the present situation, eager to change, to mold and weave new beautiful texture.

Human society is faced with the hazards of resource shortage and environmental deterioration. The burden on the earth has increased dramatically, and resource depletion and serious environmental damage have threatened the sustainable development of human society.

Poor waste management is polluting the oceans all over the world, which breeding diseases through various media and increasing the risk of respiratory diseases through airborne particulate matter in waste combustion. The blockage of the drain have caused a flood disaster.

According to the What A Waste 2 released by World Bank, the world produces 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste every year, at least 33 percent of which are not managed properly in an environmentally friendly way. Rapid urbanization, population growth and economic development will boost global waste by 70 percent over the next 30 years to an astonishing 3.4 billion tons a year, the 2018 report predicts. In the case of plastic waste, it suffocates our oceans, accounting for 90% of all marine waste. In 2016 alone, the world produced 242 million tons of plastic waste, equivalent to about 24 trillion 500 mm 10g plastic bottles. The bottles could fill 2,400 Olympic stadiums, 4.8 million Olympic-sized swimming pools or 40 billion bathtubs. That equals the total weight of 3.4 million adult blue whales or 1,376 Empire State Buildings. This is only 12% of the total waste produced each year. The Allen MacArthur Foundation (2016) predicts that if nothing is done, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.

Under the sun's ultraviolet rays, plastics are degrading into "micro-plastics" which is unrenewable and is destroying food chains and natural habitats.

Our country is a large plastic manufacturer and consumer in the world, among which many kinds of plastic products, such as PVC, amino plastic and so on, have been in the first place in the world, and the potential for further growth is still very great. After the use of these plastics, some of them enter the environment because they have not been collected and treated in time and effectively, and they are broken and corrupted in the environment, which brings serious environmental pollution to surface water, soil and ocean.

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the environmental hazards of plastic waste and micro plastics. Micro plastic particles have been found in the digestive tract of 233 marine species worldwide(including 100% turtle species, 36% seal species, 59% whale species, 59% sea bird species, and 92% sea fish and 6 kinds of invertebrates). By 2050, 99 per cent of birds are expected to eat plastic, according to the UNEP Nations Environment Programme. In 2015, different kinds of plastic particles of various materials, quantities and shapes were found in many countries including China, including lake salt, rock salt and sea salt, seafood such as fish, shellfish, beer and honey.(Source: Chinese Academy of Sciences)

Plastic solid waste management is a universal problem, because plastic waste seriously affects human health and livelihood, environment and prosperity, so it is important to everyone in the world.

BENTU carried a two-year in-depth research in the Pearl River Delta Industrial Zone by visiting plastic recycling plants and investigating the living condition of employees. BENTU explored and think profoundly in the research.

On the issue of sustainable development, people often mistake science and technology as a universal prescription. It is true that science and technology are the primary productive forces and the cornerstone of the progress of human civilization. Science and technology are like hormones in the human body, fearless and passionate. However, some negative effects such as ecological crisis, ethical crisis and value crisis will come in the absence of human consciousness.

In terms of design, the awakening of humanistic consciousness is particularly important. The awakening of humanistic consciousness can enable us to return to the root of every creation, to preserve human dignity, to pay attention to human survival and development, and to the cultural tradition, aesthetic interest, life style, craft specialty and cultural heritage related to human beings. We should make use of advantages and avoid the disadvantages to balance the art, humanity and profit.

In the deep research and development of recycled plastic concrete, and the formation of building materials and home products progress, we deeply realize that "design is not a profession, but an attitude." This design of the new spirit of the words, will always encourage us to overcome the difficulties, overcome the challenges.

In the process of re-discovering the new value of plastic waste, it will not be possible to reuse and reproduce in batches, but will not continue to produce new energy consumption in the production process. Only sincere practical hands to touch, experiment, failure, try again. We have great enthusiasm and confidence in the recycling of plastic waste. This is an action to discuss commercial value and environmental benefits.

Focus on the material to the end of the process of the consumption of the smallest energy consumption, while more convenient to put into industrial mass production, in order to the environment minimal harm, to obtain the maximum economic benefits and industrial beauty, so that unfamiliar familiarity strike your heart. We can convert more useless consumption and wastes into helpful and useful things.

2020 has been a choking year, and we're stuck in depressed involuntary isolation. In such a period, on the contrary, we should be more clear about our goals than ever before, be more ideal, bold and enterprising, weave a new fine texture, eliminate the waste and pollution caused by consumerism with firm practice and recycle resources, and move towards a new circular economy.

Design has different meanings. It is always the change agent. Material regeneration is the most important humanistic care!
