Short on Space, Taiwan Embraces a Boom in Recycling

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Twenty-five miles west of here on Taiwan’s rugged northwest coast, a cavernous warehouse under construction represents the new priorities for an island where the streets were once littered with piles of discarded electronics and other refuse.

At the clean and tidy construction site, building materials are stacked neatly and even workers’ cigarette butts are carefully collected. The surroundings are designed to evoke a Roman villa, with lagoon, garden and canopies. The energy-saving shade tiles are made out of old CDs, DVDs and computer motherboards.

Comment; It's a good idea to have a clean country. I think it's nice too see how de countries develop new ideas to have a clean country. Overcoat if it's a country with much industrial activity, like this the people from there can live helthier. Do so big infraestructures are important to develop all the country and to have more employed people, so it must help everybodyy!!!
