Sometimes, they spend a whole day boiling or “cooking”， adding sugar, vinegar, and salt among other ingredients(組成部分). In doing so, an orange peel can be turned into orange dye and a rotten pineapple might be turned into a beautiful yellow color.At the beginning, Eric and Winnie were always laughed at by local vegetable sellers when they asked for their waste. But when the sellers saw the results of their upcycling, they became more supportive. Over the past five years, Dyelicious has turned more than six tons of food waste into dye for dresses，scarves and handicrafts, turning the old saying of “one mans trash is another mans treasure” into a reality. Turning the food into dye is a small step in alleviating (緩解) food waste woes，but its at least a beginning.Dyelicious sells the dyed products and teaches people how to DIY their own nice clothes and handicrafts. While running the business is definitely not easy, the group says its worthwhile.The waste problem is a pressing issue in the city，as its landfills are expected to be full in two to three years.Eric and Winnie are trying to make a small step to change society and are hoping to gain big improvements for environmental protection in the city.語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一家把食物廢料變為各種顏色的染料的公司Dyelicious。1What does the underlined word “trash” in the first paragraph mean?
