The worlds cities produce 2 billion tons of rubbish every year. That number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons

25、 by 2050.We often buy packaged goods but that packaging is often made of plastic. Now, it may be changing. A new environmentally friendly shopping model, called Loop, was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.

26、This is what some people call the zero-waste movement. The main belief driving this movement is that much of the trash we create is unnecessary.Loop is the idea of TerraCycle, a recycling company. It first came from the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the US. Back then, someone brought milk to your

27、doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero-waste. Loop will work the same way. Instead of throwing away, the product comes in a reusable one. When the product is all gone, someone will collect and clean the old container, fil

28、l it up and then return it to you.At the start, Loop will offer about 300 products. Proctor & Gamble will start by selling 10 products on Loop as a test. If the results are good, more products will be added later.Representatives from Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. Jenn

29、ifer Morgan said that “Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway culture and disposability. But I doubt whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models”.Loop is set to launch later in three eastern U. S. states, and also in Paris, France and s
