Ⅱ. 阅读表达
阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
The goal of the "zero waste" movement is to avoid all waste from products. "Zero waste" means using every part of a product. Today, the "zero waste" idea can be found everywhere from food to fashion (时尚). Creating a zero-waste restaurant is a challenge (挑战). It is very difficult to use every part of vegetables. Creating a soup from unused vegetables is a popular way. While it's challenging, zero-waste restaurants appear to be on the rise.
In the fashion industry, "zero waste" isn't a new idea. But in today's world of fast fashion, "zero waste" is growing more popular. Usually, cutting cloth creates lots of waste. In the zero-waste fashion industry, designers try to avoid this. One way to do so is by adding these left pieces of cloth to the final design. Another way is to design clothing without the wasteful cut.
There are many other possibilities for zero-waste products. Bakey's is a company that is developing eatable spoons. After using them, you can eat them! Their spoons are made from flour (面粉). Though these spoons are not hard enough, they are perfect for rice. At the same time, Air New Zealand is experimenting on eatable coffee cups. After you finish your coffee, you can eat the cup.
Whether products are made to be eatable or reusable, hopefully the movement will help with the waste all over the world.
