The Problem
For the past 5 months, the Cardboard Shreddahz has been hosting community cardboard shred days and recycling it through the use of compost. It supports community economic development, lowering our carbon footprint and improves food systems. The prototype is a mobile cardboard shredding system which takes cardboard or paper and processes it into mulching materials, a compost ingredient and packaging material for trade businesses. Fresh produce is traded for cardboard from families. We hope to continue our efforts next school term and do our part for Hawaiʻiʻs Climate Crisis Emergency.
