【作品介紹 Description】

在非洲很多兒童沒有鞋可穿，常因此感染沙蚤病。沙蚤入侵人體並危及性命，死亡率高達60%。Re-pulp shoes利用運送資源後留下來的廢棄紙箱，加入水後經簡單加工製作成紙漿，透過Re-pulp shoes的鞋模，再生成數千雙環保再製鞋，讓每個孩子都有鞋穿，從以不再受沙蚤病的困擾。

 

In Africa, many children do not own shoes and are plagued with chigoe flea. Chigoe flea can enter the human body and even threaten a person’s life, having a death rate as high as 60%. Re-Pulp Shoes recycle used paper boxes and turn them into paper pulp through a simple processing technique with water. The pulp is then put through Re-Pulp Shoes’ molds to produce thousands of recycled shoes. This invention enables every child to have a pair of shoes, putting an end to the problem of chigoe flea.
