Technology innovation adds green waste plastics to good fabrics

Technology has changed life.

At the Green Expo pavilion, the reporter found that many of the exhibits and technologies displayed here are closely related to everyday life. Greentech is working hard to create a more comfortable life for people with lower energy consumption and less resources.

Waste plastics can also be made into good fabrics

People's clothing is getting more and more fashionable and beautiful, which has a lot to do with the constant development of fabrics. At the Green Expo, the reporter saw that environmental protection and low carbon have become the development trend of fabrics.

Teijin Group exhibited a black and white two-piece sweatshirt with a soft texture. According to reports, these two sweatshirts use fabrics with a main component of Acus® soft fibers, which are very comfortable and breathable. What surprises the audience is that this kind of fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles, plastic from used stationery, and used clothes. Compared with ordinary fabrics, producing such a piece of clothing can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 80%.

Some companies also exhibited technical products that can be applied in the field of garment processing, such as energy-saving equipment, pollution control, resource recovery, comprehensive utilization, and cleaner production management.

Some responsible persons of participating companies stated that the apparel industry is a traditional industry in China. Under the background of the concept of green living advocated by the whole people, the apparel industry should increase the research and development and application of green technologies, and promote the industry to obtain energy-saving emission reduction and recycling economy development. New breakthroughs have further reduced the unit's energy consumption and water consumption.

Orange peel can do "big article"

Who would associate oranges with paint? After eating oranges, you may be able to throw orange peel into the bin. It is hard to imagine that these orange peels, which are thrown away, actually contain a big industry.

At the Green Expo, Tianjin Hao Hong Technology Development Co., Ltd. exhibited the paint products, raw materials are taken from the orange peel, this wonderful paint naturally attracted the attention of many viewers. The company's general manager Zhang Gang told reporters that small orange peels can be used as "big articles." They cooperated with the fruit juice companies in Sichuan to undertake the remaining orange peels of fruit juice companies and perform secondary processing.

In the initial processing stage, the orange oil was extracted and transported to Tianjin for deep processing. Gradually, environmental protection products such as natural plant paints, coatings, solvents, cleaning agents, adhesives, and orange peel waste plates were formed.

“The cost of landfilling a ton of orange peel previously required about RMB 300 to RMB 400. Now, the abandoned orange peel has formed a series of green products through deep processing.” Zhang Gang said that under the promotion of the concept of green living, deep processing of citrus The main industry chain has a very broad prospect.

Green science and technology not only “split out” the “squeeze,” but also spawned new industries, resulting in a multiplier effect.

The future of Green House is not far

Aunt Ma is an "old Beijing" and came to the Green Expo. What she is most concerned about is the application of some new technologies and concepts in residences. The “Green House of the Future” model showcases a concentrated solution for future green building and building energy conservation. After listening to the staff's explanation, Ma Ayu said, “This 'Green House' can maximize natural lighting and ventilation, cool in summer, warm in winter, and energy-saving and comfortable. We hope our house will be like this one day earlier!”

Fitness is a healthy lifestyle. It may not be unusual to buy a fitness equipment in your home. Have you seen a fitness bike that generates electricity? At the booth of Shenzhen Antoshan Special Electromechanical Co., Ltd., Xiaowang Zheng stepped on a fitness bike. As his speed changed, the six bulbs connected to the bicycle flickered. Technical staff said that this kind of bicycle can generate electricity. Making the bulbs flickering is just the need for live demonstrations. In fact, the real product has a power storage device between the exercise bike and the electric light. On average, each hour of riding produces 0.3 kwh of electricity, which can be used to illuminate a 40-watt light bulb for 7.5 hours. Although the price of this exercise bike is much higher than that of an ordinary bicycle, it is still a good market in some cities.

While expecting to live more environmentally friendly and comfortable, we also hope that the cities where we live will be less polluting and more green. In the eco-exhibition hall of the Green Expo, the “Welcome to the Swedish Hamabi Eco City” booth attracted a large audience. Xiao Yuan, a staff member, introduced that the Hammarby Eco City pursues environmental protection and pursues ecological harmony. It is an example of comprehensive integration of waste, energy, water resources, and sewage. Solar energy is widely used in the Hamaby Eco City and wind power stations are built. Residents classify domestic waste into different vacuum pipelines, and the entrances to the pipelines are repaired in residents' homes. After the garbage is transported to the concentration point, special treatment such as fermentation can provide the residents with heat and electricity. Not only that, the microorganisms deposited in the river by natural precipitation are also collected for heating and power generation. Ms. Li from the real estate development company said she said, “Hamabi Eco-City has given me a new look. Its sponsor is the Swedish real estate business alliance. China’s real estate development companies should also make more efforts to promote green communities. ”
