ʻO nā ʻeke hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka moana

Hana ʻia mai ka PVA, hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia nā ʻeke biodegradable e pili ana i ka moana ma ka holoi ʻana me ka wai mahana a i ʻole ka wai wela.
ʻO ka ʻeke lole hou a ka inoa Pelekane ʻo Finisterre i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia ka manaʻo maoli "ʻaʻole waiho ʻia". ʻO ka hui mua ma kāna mākeke e loaʻa i ka palapala hōʻoia B Corp (kahi palapala e ana i ka hana kaiaulu holoʻokoʻa o kahi hui a hana i nā huahana ma ke ʻano kūpono a hoʻomau.
Aia ʻo Finisterre ma kahi pali e nānā ana i ka Moana ʻAkelanika ma St Agnes, Cornwall, ʻEnelani. ʻO kāna mau hāʻawi mai nā lole o waho ʻenehana a hiki i nā mea kūikawā lōʻihi e like me nā lole knit, insulation, nā lole wai a me nā papa kumu "i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka huakaʻi a hoʻāla i ke aloha o ke kai." No laila, ʻōlelo ʻo Niamh O'Laugre, ka luna o ka hoʻomohala huahana a me ka ʻenehana ma Finisterre, nāna i hoʻohui i ka makemake o ka hana hou i loko o ka DNA o ka hui. "ʻAʻole wale ia e pili ana i kā mākou lole," wahi āna. "E pili ana kēia i nā wahi āpau o ka ʻoihana, me ka hoʻopili ʻana."
I ka loaʻa ʻana o Finisterre i ka palapala hōʻoia B Corp i ka makahiki 2018, ua hoʻohiki ʻo ia i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā plastics hoʻohana hoʻokahi, non-biodegradable mai kāna kaulahao lako. "Aia ka plastik ma nā wahi āpau," wahi a Oleger. “He mea pono loa ia i ka wā o kona ola ʻana, akā he pilikia kona lōʻihi. Ua manaʻo ʻia he 8 miliona mau tone plastic ke komo i ka moana i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Manaʻo ʻia ʻoi aku ka nui o nā microplastic i loko o ka moana i kēia manawa ma mua o nā hōkū o ka Milky Way. hou aku”.
I ka aʻo ʻana o ka hui e pili ana i ka mea hoʻolako plastik biodegradable a compostable ʻo Aquapak, ua ʻōlelo ʻo O'Laugre e ʻimi ana ka hui i kahi mea ʻē aʻe i nā ʻeke lole plastik no kekahi manawa. "Akā ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i ka huahana kūpono e hoʻokō i kā mākou pono āpau," wehewehe ʻo ia. "Ua makemake mākou i kahi huahana me nā hopena hopena o ke ola, hiki i nā mea āpau (nā mea kūʻai aku, nā mea kūʻai aku, nā mea hana) a, ʻo ka mea nui loa, inā e hoʻokuʻu ʻia i loko o ke kaiapuni kūlohelohe, e hoʻohaʻahaʻa loa ia a ʻaʻohe koena. Iho me nā microplastics.
ʻO ka polyvinyl alcohol technical resins Aquapak Hydropol e hoʻokō i kēia mau koi āpau. ʻO PVA, ʻike ʻia hoʻi e ka acronym PVA, he thermoplastic kūlohelohe, hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai i biocompatible a ʻaʻohe mea ʻawaʻawa. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo kahi hemahema o nā mea hoʻopihapiha ʻo ka thermal instability, kahi a Aquapak i ʻōlelo ai ua kamaʻilio ʻo Hydropol.
"ʻO ke kī i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kēia polymer hana kiʻekiʻe kaulana i loko o ka hana kemika a me nā mea hoʻohui e ʻae ai i ka hana ʻana o ka Hydropol hiki ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia, e kū'ē ana i nā ʻōnaehana PVOH mōʻaukala, he mea liʻiliʻi loa ka hoʻohana ʻana ma muli o ka instability thermal," wahi a Dr. ʻO John Williams, Luna Hoʻokele Nui o ka hui Aquapack. "Ke wehe nei kēia kaʻina hana maʻamau i ka hana - ikaika, pale, hopena o ke ola - i ka ʻoihana ʻōpala nui, e ʻae ana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hoʻolālā hoʻolālā i hana a hiki ke hana hou / biodegradable. ʻO ka ʻenehana hoʻohui waiwai i koho pono ʻia e mālama i ka biodegradability i ka wai.
Wahi a Aquapak, hoʻopau loa ʻo Hydropol i ka wai mahana, ʻaʻohe koena; kū'ē i ka radiation ultraviolet; hāʻawi i kahi pale kū'ē i nā aila, nā momona, nā momona, nā kinoea a me nā petrochemical; hiki i ka hanu a me ka makū; hāʻawi i kahi pale oxygen; paʻa a paʻa i ka puncture. ʻaʻahu a palekana no ke kai, hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ke kai, palekana no nā mea kanu kai a me nā holoholona hihiu. ʻO ka mea hou aku, ʻo ke ʻano o ka bead maʻamau o Hydropol ʻo ia ka mea hiki ke hoʻopili pololei ʻia i nā kaʻina hana e kū nei.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Williams, ʻo nā koi a Finisterre no ka mea hou, ʻo ia ka palekana o ka moana, ʻike maopopo, hiki ke paʻi ʻia, paʻa a hiki ke hana ʻia ma nā lako hana e kū nei. ʻO ke kaʻina hana hoʻomohala no kahi ʻeke lole i hoʻokumu ʻia Hydropol i lawe ʻia i kahi makahiki, me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka solubility o ka resin e kūpono i nā pono o ka noi.
ʻO ka ʻeke hope loa, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Leave No Trace" na Finisterre, i hana ʻia mai ka Hydropol 30164P hoʻokahi ply extrusion kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a Aquapak. ʻO ka kikokikona ma ka ʻeke ʻālohilohi e wehewehe ʻo ia "Water soluble, moana palekana a biodegradable, hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻole i ka lepo a me ka moana i ka biomass ʻona ʻole."
Ua haʻi ka hui i kāna mea kūʻai ma kāna pūnaewele, "Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike pehea e hoʻolei palekana ai i nā ʻeke Leave No Trace, ʻo kahi ipu wai a me kahi poho. Hoʻopau koke ka mea i ka wai ma luna o 70 ° C. a ʻaʻohe pōʻino. Inā pau kāu ʻeke i loko o kahi ʻōpala, hoʻoheheʻe maoli ia a ʻaʻohe koena."
Hiki ke hana hou ʻia nā pūʻolo, hoʻohui ʻia i ka hui. "Hiki ke ʻike maʻalahi ʻia kēia mea me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻano hoʻokaʻawale e like me ka infrared a me ka laser sorting, no laila hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia a hana hou ʻia," wehewehe ka hui. "Ma nā mea kanu hoʻōla ʻōpala liʻiliʻi, hiki i ka holoi ʻana i ka wai wela ke hoʻoheheʻe iā Hydropol. I ka manawa i loko o ka hoʻonā, hiki ke hana hou ʻia ka polymer, a i ʻole hiki i ka hopena ke hele i ka mālama wai ʻino maʻamau a i ʻole ka anaerobic digestion.
ʻOi aku ka māmā o ka ʻeke leka hou a Finisterre ma mua o ka ʻeke pepa kraft āna i hoʻohana ai ma mua, a ua hana ʻia kona pale kiʻiʻoniʻoni mai ka mea Hydropol a Aquapak. Ma hope o ka ʻeke lole Waiho No Trace, ua hoʻolauna ʻo Finisterre i kahi polokalamu leka uila hou a ʻoi aku ka māmā e pani ana i nā ʻeke pepa ʻeleʻele kaumaha āna i hoʻohana ai i ka leka uila. Ua hoʻomohala ʻia ka pōʻai e Finisterre me ka hui pū ʻana me Aquapak a me recycler EP Group. ʻO ka pūʻolo, i ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa ʻo ka Flexi-Kraft mailer, he papa o Hydropol 33104P puhi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka pepa kraft me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi mea hoʻopili manuahi ʻole. ʻO ka papa Hydropol i ʻōlelo ʻia e hāʻawi i ka ikaika o ka ʻeke, ka maʻalahi a me ka pale ʻana i ka waimaka. ʻOi aku ka māmā o ka ʻeke ma mua o nā enveloppi pepa maʻemaʻe a hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka wela no ka sila ikaika.
“Me ka hoʻohana ʻana i 70% ka liʻiliʻi o ka pepa ma mua o kā mākou mau ʻeke kahiko, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kēia ʻeke hou i ka pepa māmā me kā mākou mea waiho ʻia i ka wai e hana ai i kahi ʻeke paʻa i hiki ke hoʻohui pono ʻia i kou ola hana hou ʻana i ka pepa, a me ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka pepa i loko o ka waihona. ka hana pulping. - hōʻike ʻia ma ka hui.
"Hoʻopili i kā mākou mau ʻeke leka me kēia mea hou, e hōʻemi ana i ke kaumaha o ka ʻeke ma 50 pakeneka ʻoiai e hoʻonui ana i ka ikaika o ka pepa ma 44 pakeneka, ʻoiai ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea liʻiliʻi," i hoʻohui ai ka hui. "ʻO ia ke kumu he liʻiliʻi nā kumuwaiwai i hoʻohana ʻia i ka hana a me ka lawe ʻana."
ʻOiai he hopena koʻikoʻi ka hoʻohana ʻana iā Hydropol i ke kumukūʻai o ka ʻeke ʻo Finisterre (ʻehā a ʻelima mau manawa kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ka polyethylene i ka hihia o nā ʻeke lole), ua ʻōlelo ʻo O'Laogre e ʻae ka hui e ʻae i ka uku hou. "No kahi hui e ʻimi nei e hana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻoihana, he papahana koʻikoʻi kēia a mākou e manaʻoʻiʻo nei," wahi āna. "Haʻaheo loa mākou i ka lilo ʻana i hui ʻaʻahu mua ma ka honua e hoʻohana i kēia ʻenehana hoʻopili a ke hana nei mākou i ke kumu wehe no nā hōʻailona ʻē aʻe e makemake ana e hoʻohana ia mea no ka mea hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokō hou aku."
