Iingxowa eziguquguqukayo elwandle “zingashiyi ntsalela”

Yenziwe kwi-PVA, i-ocean-friendly "ishiye intsalela" iingxowa ze-biodegradable zingalahlwa ngokuhlamba ngamanzi ashushu okanye ashushu.
Ibhegi entsha yempahla yangaphandle yaseBritani kaFinisterre kuthiwa ngokwenyani ithetha “ungashiyi mkhondo”. Inkampani yokuqala kwimarike yayo ukufumana isatifikethi se-B Corp (isatifikethi esilinganisa ukusebenza kwenkampani kukonke kwezentlalo kwaye yenze iimveliso ngendlela enoxanduva nezinzileyo.
IFinisterre ithe ngcu kwiliwa elijonge kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki eSt Agnes, eCornwall, eNgilani. Umnikelo wakhe usukela kwiimpahla zangaphandle zobugcisa ukuya kwizinto ezikhethekileyo ezinje ngeengubo ezinithiweyo, ukugquma, impahla engangeni manzi kunye nomgangatho osisiseko “oyilelwe ukuzonwabisa nokuvusa uthando lolwandle.” Utsho njalo uNiamh O'Laugre, umlawuli wophuhliso lwemveliso kunye netekhnoloji eFinisterre, owongeza ukuba umnqweno wokwenza izinto ezintsha ukwiDNA yenkampani. “Ayisiyompahla yethu kuphela,” utsho njalo. "Oku kusebenza kuzo zonke iindawo zeshishini, kubandakanya ukupakisha."
Xa i-Finisterre ifumana isatifikethi se-B Corp ngo-2018, yazibophelela ekupheliseni ukusetyenziswa okukodwa, iiplastiki ezingenakubola kwikhonkco layo lokubonelela. “Iplastiki ikuyo yonke indawo,” utshilo u-Oleger. “Sisixhobo esiluncedo kakhulu kubomi baso, kodwa ukuphila ixesha elide kuyingxaki. Kuqikelelwa ukuba iitoni ezizizigidi ezisi-8 zeplastiki zingena elwandle minyaka le. Kucingelwa ukuba kukho i-microplastic eninzi elwandle ngoku kunokuba ikho kwiinkwenkwezi zeMilky Way. " Kaninzi".
Xa inkampani yafunda malunga nomthengisi weplastiki enokubola kunye ne-compostable Aquapak, u-O'Laugre uthe inkampani ibikhangela enye indlela kwiingxowa zeplastiki kangangexesha elithile. “Kodwa asizange sifumane eyona mveliso ifanelekileyo yokuhlangabezana nazo zonke iimfuno zethu,” uyachaza. "Sasidinga imveliso enezisombululo ezininzi zokuphela kobomi, zifikeleleke kuye wonke umntu (abathengi, abathengisi, abavelisi) kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ukuba ikhutshwe kwindawo yendalo, iya kuthotywa ngokupheleleyo kwaye ingashiyi ntsalela. Phantsi nge-microplastics.
Polyvinyl alcohol technical resins Aquapak Hydropol ukuhlangabezana nazo zonke ezi mfuno. I-PVA, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-PVA yesifinyezo, yindalo, i-thermoplastic enyibilikayo emanzini e-biocompatible ngokupheleleyo kwaye ayinayo ityhefu. Nangona kunjalo, enye into engalunganga yezinto zokupakisha kukungazinzi kwe-thermal, ethi i-Aquapak ithi i-Hydropol iye yalungisa.
"Isitshixo ekuphuhliseni le polymer eyaziwayo ephezulu yokusebenza kukusetyenzwa kweekhemikhali kunye nezongezo ezivumela ukuveliswa kwe-Hydropol ephathwa ngokushisa, ngokuchasene neenkqubo ze-PVOH zembali, ezinokuthi zisebenzise amandla amancinci ngenxa yokungazinzi kwe-thermal," kusho uDkt. UJohn Williams, iGosa eliyiNtloko lobuGcisa umlawuli wenkampani ye-Aquapack. "Oku kuqhubekeka okungaguqukiyo kuvula ukusebenza - amandla, umqobo, ukuphela kobomi - kwishishini lokupakisha eliqhelekileyo, elivumela uphuhliso loyilo lokupakisha olusebenza kunye nolunokuphinda lusetyenziswe / olunokonakala. Itekhnoloji eyongezelelweyo ekhethwe ngononophelo igcina ukubola emanzini. ”
Ngokutsho kwe-Aquapak, i-Hydropol ichithwa ngokupheleleyo emanzini afudumeleyo, ingashiyi intsalela; ukumelana nemitha ye-ultraviolet; ibonelela ngomqobo ngokuchasene namafutha, amanqatha, amanqatha, iigesi kunye neekhemikhali zepetroli; ukuphefumla kunye nokumelana nokufuma; inikeza umqobo weoksijini; yomelele kwaye iyaxhathisa. iyanxitywa kwaye ikhuselekile elwandle, inokubola ngokupheleleyo kwimekobume yaselwandle, ikhuselekile kwizityalo zaselwandle nakwizilwanyana zasendle. Ngaphezu koko, ubume obusemgangathweni be-Hydropol buthetha ukuba inokudityaniswa ngokuthe ngqo kwiinkqubo ezikhoyo zemveliso.
UGqr. Williams uthe iimfuno zeFinisterre zezinto ezintsha kukuba zikhuseleke elwandle, zingabonakali, ziprinteke, zihlala zihlala zihlala zihlala zihlala zihlala zihlala zihlala zikhona. Inkqubo yokuphuhliswa kwengxowa yengubo esekelwe kwi-Hydropol ithathe phantse unyaka, kubandakanywa nokulungelelanisa ukunyibilika kwe-resin ukuze ihambelane neemfuno zesicelo.
Ibhegi yokugqibela, ebizwa ngokuba "Ungashiyi umkhondo" nguFinisterre, yenziwe kwifilimu ye-Aquapak's Hydropol 30164P enye ye-ply extrusion. Umbhalo okwingxowa ecacileyo ucacisa ukuba “inyibilika emanzini, ikhuselekile elwandle kwaye iyonakaliswa, iyonakaliswa ngokungenabungozi emhlabeni naselwandle ibe yibiomass engenabungozi.”
Inkampani ixelela abathengi bayo kwiwebhusayithi yayo, "Ukuba ufuna ukwazi ukuba ulahla njani ngokukhuselekileyo iibhegi ze-Shiya i-Trace, yonke into oyifunayo yingqayi yamanzi kunye nesinki. Izinto eziphathekayo ziphuka ngokukhawuleza kumaqondo okushisa kwamanzi ngaphezu kwe-70 ° C. kwaye ayinabungozi. Ukuba ibhegi yakho iphelela kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma, iyawohloka ngokwendalo kwaye ingashiyi ntsalela.”
Iiphakheji zinokuphinda zisetyenziswe, zongezwe kwinkampani. "Esi sixhobo sinokuchongwa ngokulula kusetyenziswa iindlela zokuhlela ezifana ne-infrared kunye ne-laser, ngoko ke inokwahlulwa kwaye isetyenziswe kwakhona," yacacisa inkampani. “Kwizityalo zokucocwa kwenkunkuma ezingantsonkothanga kakhulu, ukuhlanjululwa kwamanzi ashushu kunokubangela ukuba iHydropol inyibilike. Nje ukuba ifikelele kwisisombululo, i-polymer inokuphinda isetyenziswe, okanye isisombululo sinokuya kunyango oluqhelekileyo lwamanzi amdaka okanye i-anaerobic digestion.
Isikhwama esitsha seposi sikaFinisterre sikhaphukhaphu kunesingxobo sephepha se-kraft awayesisebenzisa ngaphambili, kwaye isithintelo sayo sefilimu senziwe ngezinto ze-Aquapak's Hydropol. Ukulandela ingxowa yempahla ye-Leave No Trace, uFinisterre uye wazisa inkqubo entsha kunye nekhaphukhaphu yokuposa ethatha indawo yengxowa yephepha emdaka enzima ebeyisebenzisa ekuthumeleni iimveliso zayo. Iphakheji yaphuhliswa nguFinisterre ngokubambisana ne-Aquapak kunye ne-recycler EP Group. Iphakheji, ngoku eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Flexi-Kraft mailer, ngumaleko wefilimu evuthelweyo ye-Hydropol 33104P elaminated kwi-kraft paper usebenzisa i-adhesive-free adhesive. I-Hydropol layer kuthiwa inika amandla esikhwama, ukuguquguquka kunye nokuchasana nokukrazula. Umaleko we-PVOH wenza ukuba ibhegi ibelula kakhulu kuneemvulophu zeposi ezingenanto kwaye inokutywinwa ubushushu ukuze itywinwe esomeleleyo.
“Sisebenzisa iphepha elingaphantsi ngama-70% kuneebhegi zethu ezindala, le pakethe intsha ithambisa iphepha elikhaphukhaphu ngezinto zethu ezinyibilikayo ezinyibilikayo emanzini ukwenza ibhegi eqinileyo enokongezwa ngokukhuselekileyo kubomi bakho bokwenza iphepha kwakhona, kunye nokunyibilikisa ukuphinda kusetyenziswe iphepha inkqubo yokucofa.” - ingxelo kwinkampani.
"Sifake izikhwama zethu zeposi kunye nale nto intsha, ukunciphisa ubunzima bengxowa ngeepesenti ze-50 ngelixa ukwandisa amandla ephepha ngama-44 ekhulwini, ngelixa lisebenzisa izinto ezincinci," yongezelela inkampani. “Oku kuthetha ukuba zimbalwa izixhobo ezisetyenziswa kwimveliso nakwizothutho.”
Nangona ukusetyenziswa kweHydropol kuye kwaba nempembelelo enkulu kwiindleko zokupakishwa kweFinisterre (ezine ukuya kwezihlanu ngaphezu kwe-polyethylene kwimeko yeengxowa zokugqoka), u-O'Laogre uthe inkampani ikulungele ukwamkela iindleko ezongezelelweyo. “Kwinkampani ejonge ukwenza ishishini ngcono, le yiprojekthi ebaluleke kakhulu esikholelwa kuyo,” utshilo. "Sinebhongo kakhulu ngokuba yinkampani yokuqala yempahla emhlabeni ukusebenzisa le teknoloji yokupakisha kwaye siyenza ibe ngumthombo ovulekileyo wezinye iibrendi ezifuna ukuyisebenzisa kuba kunye sinokufezekisa ngakumbi."
