Rainbow-colored rubbish is the colorful waste created by a Swedish city with a unique cycling system. Like many cities in Sweden, Eskilstuna has an【小题1】 ( impress) recycling record.It【小题2】(meet) the EU' 2020 target of recycling 50% of waste many years ago. People are expected to sort their household waste【小题3】 seven separate categories, including food and metal. But【小题4】really makes the system stand out is the bright color code.

Thanks to those bright colors, scanners can select the bags and separate them【小题5】(efficient). The food waste in green bags is processed on site into slurry (浆) to make biogas, 【小题6】 powers the city's buses. One of the【小题7】(benefit) of this method is that there is less cross-pollution, so more of the recycled waste can actually be used【小题8】(make) new things.

Eskilstuna is committed to sending zero waste from its citizens to landfill(垃圾填埋场). Waste that can't be recycled【小题9】( burn)at a local plant to produce electricity.   As countries around the world try to improve their recycling rates, some may look to Eskilstuna as【小题10】     example to follow---as long as they think they can persuade their citizens to get busy sorting waste at home.
