TRASH BOAT SET SAIL IN TAIWAN MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS

Environment friendly green boat 'Forever' was built entirely from 100% trash including plastic bottles and old advertising banners, propelled by wind and solar powered system, to raise awareness about the marine environment. "The concept of the Polli-Boat is using 100 percent trash," said Arthur Huang, the founder and managing director of Miniwiz Sustainable Energy Development Ltd, which made the boat.

The 7 metre (23 feet) boat set sail on June 8, World Ocean Day, in a ceremony along with other creative boats made of recycled materials, in  an eco-friendly creative boat competition held at the dock. National Geography Channel in Taiwan selected 10 designs from nearly 200 enteries to compete for the most innovative boat built from recycled materials.
