During a recent visit to Shenzhen, Guangdong province, filmmaker JT Singh noticed how the sound of packing tape can be heard at all times throughout Huaqiangbei, the massive electronics hub located at the heart of the city.In this digital age where Chinese are furiously shopping online, workers at places like Huaqiangbei pack hundreds of boxes of customer orders every day, and in the process expend massive amounts of packing tape.This incident has since spurred Singh to produce a short film to explore how this practice affects the environment.
