Environmental protection glass guide sign
Redesign for Taiwan's old traffic guidance signs
How does it work?
1. Use the property of glass not easy to oxidize to replace acrylic reflective guides and non-environmentally friendly reflective coatings, demonstrating the irreplaceability of glass.
2. Use waste oyster shells to process them and make them into environmentally friendly concrete to reduce the excessive exploitation of cement raw materials.
3. PERC solar panels made of 100% recycled silicon are used to supply electricity.
Why is it needed?
The long-term lack of maintenance of reflective traffic indicators on Taiwan's roads has resulted in the peeling of reflective paint and the oxidation of acrylic reflectors to reduce the reflective effect, seriously affecting road traffic safety.
How does it improve life?
Utilize the stability of glass to replace the original materials that affect traffic safety due to long-term lack of maintenance, and use a large number of other recycled materials, such as: waste glass, waste oyster powder, PERC solar panels, as the material of this product, to ensure the safety of passers-by. At the same time, it can also achieve the goal of environmental cleanliness and sustainability
