Plastic bricks(积木) have been a popular toy for children for so many years.
When children get older, boxes of plastic bricks often end up unused and parents sometimes may throw them away. Now, a big toy company is testing a programme to make sure the unwanted bricks do not go to waste. The programme is called Brick Replay. It aims to make sure the unwanted building blocks continue to make children happy.
The company's vice president believes “Nearly all plastic bricks have lots more play value in them. It's a waste of energy and resources to grind(磨碎) them up and make new bricks.” He said the idea came from parents who do not know what to do with the old bricks. Placing old plastic bricks in waste containers(容器) is not a good answer. Birds and other wildlife may try to eat what looks like colourful food—with dangerous results.
With Brick Replay, parents box up unwanted plastic bricks, print mailing labels online, and send them to processing centres. There, the bricks are sorted, cleaned and shipped to helping groups. In the last two months, they have received 3,000 boxes of plastic bricks and 9,000 labels were downloaded. The vice president said
(
A. To help parents throw away old plastic bricks.
