US media claimed that the American student Feng Yalun from Wuhan was a partner of the startup named Leaves Plates Company. The company imports disposable plates made from fallen leaves from India and Nepal. A leaf plate costs the same as a traditional plastic plate, but in contrast, leaf plates can be completely recycled and biodegraded. The company imports these trays from India and Nepal and sells them in the United States. Feng Yalun is responsible for marketing and tapping potential investors.
According to the “New York Times†website’s August 23 report, “This is related to my identity as a Chinese,†said Feng Yalun. “Because China produces one-third of the world's plastics, I also hope to pass through the leaves. The plate approach brought about a revolution that changed China's current situation and consumption habits."
Want to bring change to society
According to reports, Feng Yalun's story represents a new generation of international student entrepreneurs. Their entrepreneurial business not only considers money, but also wants to bring about certain changes to the society. Moreover, the development and potential of China has left many people no longer thinking only of staying abroad. “Many people are willing to return to China, especially those from North Korea and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The students of the previous generation (a decade ago) wanted to stay in the United States more."
Although he had already transferred to study abroad, Feng Yalun carefully took care of his contacts with domestic students and actively participated in various activities organized by domestic universities, such as the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summit held at Peking University in May this year.
The report said that for foreign businessmen who want to open the Chinese market, ambitious Chinese students have also become attractive partners. Their family conditions and resources are also relatively abundant. In the past, undergraduate students were not too many, and many people rely on scholarships to study abroad, but most of them now go abroad at their own expense. “They are very hard and they are willing to bring American advanced technology and ideas back to China. They also have such resource conditions,†said Feng Yalun.
His leaf plate company was founded in the spring of 2016 by Prakash Bakighane. Pakistani Gain is from Nepal and is currently a prospective third-year student at New York University of Technology studying mechanical engineering. Feng Yalun joined the company in the fall of 2016 but brought the company’s biggest customer to date – Vanderbilt University.
“The first time he told me that this matter was once dinner this spring,†said Eric Kebostan, vice president of Vanderbilt University. “At that time he shared the idea of ​​a leaf plate with me. He was not promoting his products,†Mr. Kebostan emphasized. “I think this idea is very good. Maybe we can move it to our campus.â€
A water bath is a laboratory equipment used to incubate samples in a controlled temperature environment. It consists of a container filled with water that is heated to a specific temperature and maintained at that temperature. The sample is placed in a separate container that is submerged in the water bath, allowing for the sample to be heated or cooled to the desired temperature. Water baths are commonly used in biology, chemistry, and medical laboratories for a variety of applications including cell culture, enzyme reactions, and melting point determination.
