Ezenziwe nge-PVA, izikhwama ezibolayo “ezingashiyi nsalela” ezilungele ulwandle zingalahlwa ngokuhlanjululwa ngamanzi afudumele noma ashisayo.
Isikhwama sezimpahla zangaphandle somkhiqizo waseBrithani u-Finisterre kuthiwa ngokwezwi nezwi sisho “ungashiyi mkhondo”. Inkampani yokuqala emakethe yayo ukuthola isitifiketi se-B Corp (isitifiketi esikala ukusebenza komphakathi kukonke kwenkampani futhi sikhiqize imikhiqizo ngendlela enesibopho neqhubekayo.
IFinisterre ihlezi eweni elibheke uLwandlekazi i-Atlantic eSt Agnes, eCornwall, eNgilandi. Imikhiqizo yakhe isukela ezimpahleni zangaphandle zobuchwepheshe kuye ezintweni ezikhethekile ezihlala isikhathi eside njengezingubo ezimbathiwe, ezokuvikela, izingubo ezingangeni manzi nezingqimba “eziklanyelwe ukuzijabulisa nokuvusa uthando lolwandle.” Kusho uNiamh O'Laugre, umqondisi wokuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo nobuchwepheshe eFinisterre, onezela ngokuthi isifiso sokusungula izinto ezintsha siku-DNA yenkampani. “Akukhona nje ngezingubo zethu kuphela,” uyahlanganyela. "Lokhu kusebenza kuzo zonke izindawo zebhizinisi, okuhlanganisa nokupakisha."
Ngenkathi i-Finisterre ithola isitifiketi se-B Corp ngo-2018, yazibophezela ekuqedeni ukusetshenziswa okukodwa, amapulasitiki angaboli kahle ochungechungeni lwakhe lokuhlinzeka. “Ipulasitiki ikhona yonke indawo,” kusho u-Oleger. “Iwusizo olukhulu phakathi nomjikelezo wokuphila kwayo, kodwa ukuphila kwayo isikhathi eside kuyinkinga. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi amathani ayizigidi ezingu-8 epulasitiki angena olwandle minyaka yonke. Kucatshangwa ukuthi kune-microplastic eyengeziwe olwandle manje kunaleyo ekhona ezinkanyezini ze-Milky Way." Okuningi".
Lapho inkampani izwa ngomphakeli wepulasitiki obolayo futhi ovuthwayo u-Aquapak, u-O'Laugre wathi inkampani kade ibheka enye izikhwama zezingubo zepulasitiki isikhathi eside. “Kodwa asikwazanga ukuthola umkhiqizo ofanele ngempela ukuhlangabezana nazo zonke izidingo zethu,” uyachaza. “Besidinga umkhiqizo onezixazululo eziningi zokuphela kwempilo, ofinyeleleka kuwo wonke umuntu (abathengi, abathengisi, abakhiqizi) futhi, okubaluleke kakhulu, uma ukhishelwe endaweni yemvelo, ubuzokwehliswa ngokuphelele futhi ungashiyi nsalela. Phansi nge-microplastics.
Polyvinyl alcohol technical resins Aquapak Hydropol ukuhlangabezana nazo zonke lezi zidingo. I-PVA, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-PVA, iyi-thermoplastic yemvelo, encibilika emanzini evumelana ngokuphelele nezinto eziphilayo futhi ayinabo ubuthi. Kodwa-ke, ukungahambi kahle kwezinto zokupakisha ukungazinzi kokushisa, i-Aquapak ethi iHydropol ibhekane nayo.
"Isihluthulelo sokuthuthukisa le polymer eyaziwayo yokusebenza okuphezulu sisekucutshungulweni kwamakhemikhali kanye nezithasiselo ezivumela ukukhiqizwa kwe-Hydropol ephathwa ukushisa, ngokuphambene nezinhlelo zomlando ze-PVOH, ezinekhono elilinganiselwe kakhulu lokufaka isicelo ngenxa yokungazinzi kokushisa," kusho uDkt. John Williams, Umqondisi Omkhulu Wezobuchwepheshe benkampani ye-Aquapack. "Lokhu kucutshungulwa okungaguquki kuvula ukusebenza - amandla, isithiyo, ukuphela kwempilo - embonini yokupakisha evamile, okuvumela ukuthuthukiswa kwemiklamo yokupakisha esebenzayo futhi evuselelekayo / ebolayo. Ubuchwepheshe bokungezwa obukhethiwe ngokucophelela bugcina i-biodegradability emanzini. "
Ngokusho kwe-Aquapak, i-Hydropol incibilika ngokuphelele emanzini afudumele, ingashiyi nsalela; ukumelana nemisebe ye-ultraviolet; inikeza isithiyo ngokumelene namafutha, amafutha, amafutha, amagesi kanye namakhemikhali e-petrochemicals; iphefumula futhi imelana nomswakama; inikeza umgoqo we-oxygen; ihlala isikhathi eside futhi imelana nokubhoboza. iyagqokeka futhi iphephile olwandle, ibola ngokugcwele endaweni yasolwandle, iphephile ezitshalweni zasolwandle nezilwane zasendle. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ubuhlalu obujwayelekile beHydropol busho ukuthi bungahlanganiswa ngokuqondile nezinqubo ezikhona zokukhiqiza.
UDkt. Williams uthe izidingo zikaFinisterre zezinto ezintsha ukuthi ziphephe olwandle, zibe sobala, ziphrinteke, ziqine futhi zicutshungulwe emishinini yokucubungula ekhona. Inqubo yokuthuthukiswa kwesikhwama sezingubo esisekelwe e-Hydropol ithathe cishe unyaka, kuhlanganise nokulungisa ukunyibilika kwe-resin ukuze ivumelane nezidingo zesicelo.
Isikhwama sokugcina, esibizwa ngokuthi "Ungashiyi Umkhondo" nguFinisterre, senziwe ngefilimu ye-Aquapak's Hydropol 30164P eyodwa ye-ply extrusion. Umbhalo osesikhwameni esikhanyelayo uchaza ukuthi “Amanzi ancibilikayo, aphephile olwandle futhi angonakaliswa, awonakaliswa ngokungenabungozi enhlabathini nolwandle abe yi-biomass engenabuthi.”
Le nkampani itshela amakhasimende ayo kuwebhusayithi yayo, “Uma ufuna ukwazi ukuthi ungazilahla kanjani ngokuphepha izikhwama ze-Leave No Trace, okudingayo nje imbiza yamanzi nosinki. Impahla iphuka ngokushesha emanzini okushisa angaphezu kuka-70 ° C. futhi ayinabungozi. Uma isikhwama sakho siphelela endaweni yokulahla udoti, siwohloka ngokwemvelo futhi singashiyi nsalela.”
Amaphakheji angaphinda asetshenziswe kabusha, engezwe enkampanini. “Le nto ingabonakala kalula kusetshenziswa izindlela zokuhlunga njenge-infrared ne-laser yokuhlunga, ngakho-ke ingahlukaniswa futhi igaywe kabusha,” kuchaza inkampani. “Ezikhungweni zokuhlanza imfucuza eziyinkimbinkimbi, ukugeza ngamanzi ashisayo kungabangela ukuthi iHydropol ichitheke. Uma isixazululiwe, i-polymer ingaphinda igaywe kabusha, noma ikhambi lingaya ekuhlanzeni okujwayelekile kwamanzi angcolile noma ekugayweni kwe-anaerobic.”
Isikhwama seposi esisha sikaFinisterre silula kunesikhwama sephepha se-kraft asisebenzisa ngaphambili, futhi umgoqo waso wefilimu wenziwa ngezinto ze-Aquapak's Hydropol. Ngokulandela isikhwama sezimpahla ze-Leave No Trace, u-Finisterre wethule uhlelo olusha nolulula kakhulu lokuposa oluthatha indawo yezikhwama zephepha ezisindayo ezinsundu abezisebenzisa ekuthumeleni imikhiqizo yakhe. Iphakethe lakhiwe ngabakwaFinisterre ngokubambisana ne-Aquapak kanye ne-recycler EP Group. Iphakheji, manje eyaziwa ngokuthi i-Flexi-Kraft mailer, iwungqimba lwefilimu ephephethwayo ye-Hydropol 33104P eyakhiwe ngephepha le-kraft kusetshenziswa ingcina yokunamathela engancibiliki. Ungqimba lwe-Hydropol kuthiwa lunikeza isikhwama amandla, ukuguquguquka nokumelana nokukhala. Isendlalelo se-PVOH futhi senza isikhwama sibe lula kakhulu kunezimvilophu zeposi zephepha elingenalutho futhi singavalwa ngokushisa ukuze sibe nesivalo esinamandla.
“Isebenzisa iphepha elingaphansi ngo-70% kunezikhwama zethu ezindala, leli phakethe elisha lihlobisa iphepha elingasindi ngezinto zethu zokushiya ezincibilika emanzini ukuze kwakhiwe isikhwama esiqinile esingengezwa ngokuphepha empilweni yakho yokugaywa kabusha kwephepha, kanye nokuncibilikisa ukugaywa kabusha kwephepha inqubo ye-pulping." - kubikwe enkampanini.
"Sifake izikhwama zethu zeposi ngale nto entsha, sinciphisa isisindo sesikhwama ngamaphesenti angu-50 ngenkathi sikhulisa amandla ephepha ngamaphesenti angu-44, konke ngenkathi kusetshenziswa izinto ezincane," yengeza inkampani. “Lokhu kusho ukuthi zimbalwa izinsiza ezisetshenziswayo ekukhiqizeni nasekuthuthweni.”
Nakuba ukusetshenziswa kwe-Hydropol kuye kwaba nomthelela omkhulu ezindlekweni zokupakisha zikaFinisterre (eziphindwe kane kuya kwezinhlanu kune-polyethylene esimweni sezikhwama zokugqoka), u-O'Laogre uthe inkampani izimisele ukwamukela izindleko ezengeziwe. “Enkampanini ebheke ukwenza ibhizinisi kangcono, lena iphrojekthi ebaluleke kakhulu esikholelwa kuyo,” kusho yena. “Siyaziqhenya ngokuba yinkampani yezimpahla zokugqoka yokuqala emhlabeni ukusebenzisa lobu buchwepheshe bokupakisha futhi siyenza ibe ngumthombo ovulekile wezinye izinhlobo ezifuna ukubusebenzisa ngoba ngokubambisana singazuza okuningi.”
