Therefore, board games are also launched to help recycling education take root from an early age.

According to the "2022 Recycling Awareness and Behavior Survey", nearly 60% of the public do not know the types of recycling.

RE-THINK speculates that the reason may be that the recycling system is unable to cope with the fast speed of material replacement; the recycling regulations of different county and city governments and different places are slightly different, for example: plastic spoons are no longer available in some counties and cities due to their low recycling value. receive.

In addition, the survey also found that among all age groups, people under the age of 18 have the highest acceptance rate in terms of awareness of environmental protection awareness and environmental protection habit change, which shows the importance of implementing recycling education from an early age.

In order to help recycling education take root at an early age, RE-THINK founder Huang Zhiyang said that he hopes to help students establish correct recycling knowledge and develop environmental awareness through launching board games with the theme of circular economy and resource recycling.

In addition, the board game also incorporates Taiwan's real dilemma of recycling. For example, "biodegradable materials" are very popular materials abroad, but because Taiwan does not have enough composting facilities, they can only be thrown into general garbage and eventually incinerated.

Zhuang Zhijun, the principal of Jianguo Middle School in Taipei City, said that in addition to being exposed to environmental issues in the classroom, he also expects students to observe and discuss the value of recycling from the perspective of life, and cultivate a sense of environmental responsibility and action through a series of thinking and action processes.
