Appropriate Paper-based Technology (APT) cheered.Ā  Carmona trainees above, show off finished items and take to heart APT, by author Bevill Parker, British Environmentalist, which ā€˜ā€™makes something out of nothing’’. Turning paper wastes/used cardboard boxes into durable/attractive kiddie table, chairs, and other utility items, this enthusiastic batch proved that with this technology, women and men with disabilities alike, even with physical impairments, could fabricate furniture/gadgets that are 1) useful 2) strong 3) costing almost nothing, and 4) attractive, which are 4 APT musts.
