I-Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),

I-Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), i-Springfield, e-Illinois, isungule umhlahlandlela we-inthanethi wokuphendula imibuzo yabathengi mayelana nokusetshenziswa kabusha, ngokusho kokukhishwa kwezindaba okuvela ku-WGN-TV (Chicago).

I-Illinois EPA ikhiphe ikhasi lewebhu le-Recycle Illinois futhi liqondise kule nyanga njengengxenye ye-America Recycles Day.Iwebhusayithi iphendula imibuzo eseceleni komgwaqo futhi ihlonze izindawo ezifanele zokuthatha izinto ezingasetshenziswa kabusha ezingakwazi ukuqoqwa ezinhlelweni eziningi zokugaywa kabusha eziseceleni komgwaqo e-Illinois.

U-Alec Messina, umqondisi we-Illinois EPA, utshele i-WGN-TV ukuthi ithuluzi eliku-inthanethi lenzelwe ukusiza izakhamuzi ziphinde zisetshenziswe ngendlela efanele.Unezela ukuthi izinqubo ezifanele zokugaywa kabusha zibaluleke kakhulu namuhla ngoba i-China ivimbele ukungeniswa kwezinto ezigaywa kabusha ezinezinga lokungcola elingaphezu kwamaphesenti angu-0.5 kulo nyaka odlule.

I-Bradenton, i-SGM Magnetics Corp. esezinze eFlorida ichaza isihlukanisi sikazibuthe se-Model SRP-W “njengesekhethi entsha kazibuthe ehlinzeka ngokusebenza okuhlukile kozibuthe.”Le nkampani ithi le divayisi enobubanzi obungu-12-intshi ozibuthe wekhanda “ilungele ukuthuthukisa ukuthintana nokunciphisa igebe lomoya phakathi kwezinto okufanele zihehe kanye nozibuthe we-pulley.”

I-SGM ithi i-SRP-W ilungele ukususwa kwezinto ezinozibuthe ezinozibuthe futhi ifaneleka ngokukhethekile ukususa izingcezu zikazibuthe ezilula zensimbi engagqwali (ezingasiza ekuvikelweni kwama-granulator blades) ekuhlungeni izinsalela ze-auto shredder (ASR). ) nocingo lwethusi oluqotshiwe, oluvalekile (ICW).

I-SGM iphinde ichaze i-SRP-W njenge-ultra-high gradient head pulley kazibuthe ebekwe ohlakeni lwayo, enikezwe ibhande layo, ethi "imvamisa izacile kakhulu kunamabhande endabuko okuthutha."

Idivayisi, etholakala ngobubanzi obusuka kumayintshi angu-40 ukuya kwangu-68, ingafakwa futhi ngebhande lokuthutha elithathwayo elikhethwayo kanye nesihlukanisi esilungisekayo.Iphaneli yokulawula ingasiza opharetha ukuthi balungise isivinini sebhande ukusuka kumafidi angu-180 kuya kwangu-500 ngomzuzu ukuze kususwe impahla ensimbi ngesivinini esingamafidi angu-60 kuya kwangu-120 ngomzuzu ukuze bathole ukungcola ngaphambi kwenqubo yokunquma.

Inhlanganisela ye-diameter head pulley enkulu, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwalokho i-SGM ekubiza ngokuthi isizukulwane sokusebenza okuphezulu kwamabhulokhi kazibuthe we-neodymium, kanye nebhande elincanyana kanye nomklamo okhethekile wesekethe kazibuthe, ithuthukisa ukuhleleka nokukhanga okusansimbi kwezihlukanisi ze-SRP-W. .

Bangaphezu kuka-117 abamele imboni yepulasitiki abavela emazweni angu-24 bahlangane ukuze babonise indlela entsha ye-Liquid State Polycondensation (LSP) yokuvuselela kabusha i-PET ethuthukiswe yi-Next Generation Recycling Machines (NGR) yase-Austrian.Umbhikisho wenzeka ngomhlaka-8 Nov.

Ngokubambisana ne-Kuhne Group ezinze eJalimane, i-NGR ithi isisungule inqubo “entsha” yokuvuselela kabusha i-polyethylene terephthalate (PET) evula “amathuba amasha embonini yepulasitiki.”

"Iqiniso lokuthi abamele izinkampani ezinkulu zepulasitiki emhlabeni bahlanganyele nathi e-Feldkirchen libonisa ukuthi nge-Liquid State Polycondensation thina kwa-NGR sithuthukise indlela entsha ezosiza ekulawuleni inkinga yomhlaba wonke yokulahlwa kwepulasitiki," kusho isikhulu se-NGR uJosef Hochreiter.

I-PET iyi-thermoplastic esetshenziswa kakhulu emabhodleleni esiphuzo nakwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza eziningi zokuxhumana nokudla, kanye nasekwakhiweni kwezindwangu.Izindlela zangaphambilini zokubuyisela kabusha i-PET kukhwalithi eseduze nentombi zibonise ukulinganiselwa, kusho i-NGR.

Enqubweni ye-LSP, ukufeza izindinganiso zebanga lokudla, ukungcoliswa kanye nokwakhiwa kabusha kwesakhiwo samangqamuzana e-molecular kwenzeka esigabeni esiwuketshezi sokugaywa kabusha kwe-PET.Inqubo ivumela "ukusakaza okulahliwe okuphansi" ukuthi kugaywe kabusha "kumikhiqizo enenani eliphezulu lokugaywa kabusha."

I-NGR ithi le nqubo ihlinzeka ngezakhiwo ezilawulwayo zemishini ye-PET egaywe kabusha.I-LSP ingasetshenziselwa ukucubungula izinhlobo ze-co-polymer zokuqukethwe kwe-PET ne-polyolefin, kanye nezinhlanganisela ze-PET ne-PE, "okungazange kwenzeke ngezinqubo ezivamile zokugaywa kabusha."

Embukisweni, incibilike yadlula ku-reactor ye-LSP futhi yacutshungulwa yaba yifilimu egunyazwe yi-FDA.Amafilimu asetshenziswa kakhulu kwizicelo ze-thermoforming, kusho i-NGR.

“Amakhasimende ethu emhlabeni wonke manje anesinye isixazululo esonga amandla, nesinye ukuze akhiqize amafilimu okupakisha asezingeni eliphezulu aphuma ku-PET anezakhiwo ezimbi ekuqaleni,” kusho uRainer Bobowk, umphathi wesigaba eKuhne Group.

I-BioCapital Holdings yaseHouston ithi iklame inkomishi yekhofi yamahhala engenapulasitiki futhi ekwazi ukuvuthwa futhi ngaleyo ndlela ingafinyelela ingqikithi elinganiselwa ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-600 “zezinkomishi neziqukathi ezigcina sezigcwele imfucumfucu emhlabeni wonke unyaka ngamunye.”

Le nkampani ithi "inethemba lokuthola uxhaso oluxhaswe ngabakwa-Starbucks kanye nabakwaMcDonald's, phakathi kwabanye abaholi bezimboni [ukudala] isibonelo se-NextGen Cup Challenge esanda kumenyezelwa."

“Ngamangala kakhulu lapho ngizwa ngenani elikhulu lezinkomishi eziya ezindaweni zokulahla imfucumfucu unyaka ngamunye lapho ngiqala ukucwaninga ngalo mkhankaso,” kusho uCharles Roe, iphini likamongameli omkhulu kwaBioCapital Holdings."Njengomuntu ophuza ikhofi ngokwami, akuzange kungifikele ukuthi ulayini wepulasitiki ezinkomishini eziningi ezisetshenziswa yizinkampani eziningi uveze isithiyo esikhulu kangaka sokwenza kabusha kabusha."

URoe uthi wafunda ukuthi nakuba izinkomishi ezinjalo zine-fiber-based, zisebenzisa umugqa omncane wepulasitiki onamathiselwe ngokuqinile enkomishini ukusiza ukuvimbela ukuvuza.Lo mkhumbi wenza kube nzima kakhulu ukugaywa kabusha indebe futhi ungabangela ukuba “kuthathe iminyaka engaba ngu-20 ukubola.”

U-Roe uthi, “Inkampani yethu isivele yakha igwebu elingabunjwa libe yi-BioFoam ethambile noma eqinile yomatilasi nezinye izinto zokhuni.Ngathintana nososayensi wethu omkhulu ukuze ngithole ukuthi singakwazi yini ukulungisa lesi sici esikhona nenkomishi eqeda isidingo somshini osekelwe ku-petroleum.

Uyaqhubeka, “Ngemva kwesonto elilodwa, wenza i-prototype eyayibamba uketshezi olushisayo.Akugcinanga nje ngokuba ne-prototype, kodwa ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva ucwaningo lwethu lwabonisa le nkomishi esekelwe emvelweni, lapho igaywe ibe yizicucu noma ivundisiwe, yayinhle njengesithasiselo sikamanyolo wezitshalo.Udale inkomishi yemvelo ukuze uphuze isiphuzo osithandayo bese uyisebenzisela ukudla kwezitshalo engadini yakho.”

U-Roe kanye no-BioCapital baphikisana nendebe entsha ukuthi ingakwazi ukubhekana nezinkinga zokuklama nokululama ezibhekene nezindebe zamanje.“Ngaphandle kwedlanzana lezikhungo ezikhethekile emadolobheni amakhulu ambalwa, izitshalo ezigaywe kabusha emhlabeni wonke azihlonyiselwe ukuhlukanisa njalo noma ngokungabizi kangako i-fiber ku-liner yepulasitiki” ezinkomishini ezisetshenziswa njengamanje, kusho i-BioCapital esitatimendeni sezindaba.“Ngakho-ke iningi lalezi zinkomishi ligcina seliyimfucuza.Okwengeza lolu daba, izinto ezitholwa ezinkomishini ze-fiber azithengisi kakhulu, ngakho-ke sincane isisusa sezezimali sokuthi imboni iphinde isetshenziswe.”

I-NextGen Cup Challenge izokhetha amadizayini aphezulu angu-30 ngo-December, futhi abayisithupha abazofinyelela kowamanqamu bazomenyezelwa ngo-February 2019. Lezi zinkampani eziyisithupha zizothola ithuba lokusebenza neqoqo elibanzi lezinkampani ukuze zikhulise ukukhiqizwa kwemibono yazo yenkomishi.

I-BioCapital Holdings izichaza njengesiqalo se-bio-engineering esilwela ukukhiqiza izinhlanganisela nezinto zokwakha ezingabolikala futhi ezinobungane emvelweni, ngokusetshenziswa emikhakheni yezimboni eziningana.

Ukwakhiwa kwendawo yokulungisa imfucuza eHampden, eMaine, osekuphele iminyaka emibili kwenziwa, kulindeleke ukuthi kuphothulwe ekupheleni kukaMashi, ngokusho kwesihloko esiku-Bangor Daily News.

Isikhathi sokuqeda sesicishe sibe unyaka ogcwele ngemva kokuba indawo yokucubungula nokuhlanza imfucuza bekufanele iqale ukuthola imfucuza evela emadolobheni angaphezu kuka-100 eMaine.

Lesi sikhungo, iphrojekthi ephakathi kweCatonsville, i-Fiberight LLC ezinze eMaryland kanye nenhlangano engenzi nzuzo emele izithakazelo zikadoti oqinile wemiphakathi yaseMaine engaba ngu-115 ebizwa ngokuthi iMunicipal Review Committee (MRC), izoguqula udoti oqinile kamasipala ube yi-biofuels.IFiberight yagqama kulesi sikhungo ekuqaleni kuka-2017, futhi kubiza cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-70 ukwakha.Izofaka i-Fiberight yokuqala yesilinganiso esigcwele se-biofuels kanye nezinhlelo zokucubungula i-biogas.

Isikhulu seFiberight, uCraig Stuart-Paul, uthe lesi sikhungo kumele sikulungele ukwamukela imfucuza ngo-Ephreli, kodwa waxwayisa ngokuthi isikhathi singase sinwebeke uma kwenzeka kuqubuka ezinye izinkinga, njengokushintshwa kwemishini, okungahle kubuyisele emuva ngoMeyi.

Izikhulu zithi lokhu kubambezeleka kungenxa yezinto eziningi, okuhlanganisa isimo sezulu esibambezele ukwakhiwa ebusika obudlule, inselelo yezomthetho ezimvumeni zemvelo zalolu hlelo kanye nokushintsha kwemakethe yezimpahla ezigaywe kabusha.

Isikhungo esingu-144,000-square-foot sizofaka ubuchwepheshe obuvela ku-CP Group, e-San Diego, ukuze kutholakale izinto ezingasetshenziswa kabusha kanye nokulungisa imfucumfucu eyinsalela ukuze iqhubeke nokusebenza endaweni.I-MRF izothatha ingxenye eyodwa yesikhungo futhi izosetshenziselwa ukuhlunga izinto ezigaywa kabusha kanye nodoti.Imfucuza eyinsalela kulesi sikhungo izocutshungulwa ngobuchwepheshe beFiberight, ithuthukise izinsalela zikamasipala wemfucuza (MSW) zibe yimikhiqizo ye-bioenergy yezimboni.

Ukwakhiwa ngemuva kwesikhungo kusasongwa, lapho kuzocutshungulwa khona imfucuza ku-pulper kanye nethangi lokugaya i-anaerobic elingu-600,000-gallon.I-Fiberight's proprietary anaerobic digestion kanye nobuchwepheshe be-biogas izoguqula imfucuza yezinto eziphilayo ibe yi-biofuel kanye nemikhiqizo ye-bio ecolisisiwe.
