The development of our society today is getting faster and faster, so the development of food is also very competitive. Like a lot of fast food, fast food food... Nowadays, the take-out is even more endless, which raises a problem, that is, the garbage generated is really not to be underestimated. Like what KFC, a little bit, McDonald's... A series of young people's favorite production, every day can produce a lot of garbage, the impact on the environment can not be ignored.
