Consumers can return used disposable products through courier companies or retail stores and receive corresponding benefits. The professional recycling institution partnering with Smoore will provide an environmental solution that guarantees 100% disassembly and zero landfill. Smoore expressed that this system will minimize the environmental impact of disposable products, thereby achieving sustainable development in the industry.
