A Chinese company invented a plastic bag that is soluble in water! No pollution, you can drink! The whole world was shocked!
As we all know, it takes more than 200 years for a plastic bag to decompose naturally, and whether it is burned at high temperatures or allowed to decompose naturally, it will have a major impact on the survival of the air and species.
Calculated based on the current garbage discharge, by 2050, the amount of plastic garbage in the ocean will exceed the number of marine fish!
Fish that humans eat have swallowed plastic, and humans are also eating "microplastics" indirectly...
However, since no good alternative has been found, the only way to reduce environmental pollution is to reduce the use of plastic bags and reuse plastic bags.
However, two Chilean engineers recently demonstrated a brand new plastic bag in Santiago. What is incredible is that the new plastic bag is not only soluble in water and non-petroleum derivatives, and the water after dissolving the plastic bag can be drunk! And harmless to the human body!
The world’s major media frantically report on the screen:
On July 24, 2018, local time, Santiago, Chile, Chilean engineers Roberto Astete and Christian Olivares held a press conference to showcase a new material that is completely soluble in water and can be used to replace plastic bags and other plastic products.
In order to prove the results of their invention, the two did an experiment on the spot.
Roberto took out several seemingly ordinary plastic bags and put them in a bottle of water.
After just a few stirs, the plastic was dissolved in the water!
The dissolution in the true sense turned into a milky white liquid!
In order to show the safety of this kind of water to the world, one of the experimenters put the liquid in a glass of water, and then drank it bit by bit.
Talking about the production concept of this plastic, the designer described it like this:
"It's like making bread." Astete said, "To make bread, you need flour and other ingredients. Our flour is polyvinyl alcohol and other elements approved by the FDA [US Food and Drug Administration]. They allow us to make A high-quality material to produce different products."
With the advent of the press, Astete and Olivares showed two products: plastic bags that can be dissolved in cold water and reusable canvas bags that can be decomposed in hot water. "What remains in the water is carbon," Astete said, and medical tests have shown "no effect on the human body."
Astete believes, "The main difference between traditional plastic and our plastic is that traditional plastic can last 150 to 500 years in the environment, while our plastic lasts only five minutes. You can decide when to destroy it."
Olivares said that the same fabric dissolved in hot water can be used to make reusable shopping bags or hospital products such as mattress protectors, lab coats and doctor gloves, which are generally discarded after one use.
They added that another advantage is that they can prevent suffocation, which is the cause of accidents for children in the family. When the bag touches a person’s tongue or tears, the bag will dissolve.
One more point needs to be emphasized: the research and development of this water-soluble bag raw material is an enterprise from China!
This plastic seems to be a perfect solution to the problem of ocean pollution, but there are two problems:
Question 1: Many netizens asked directly: "What should I do if it rains?", "What should I do if my hands are sweaty?", "Can malatang be packaged?"
Answer: In this regard, according to Solubag's explanation, the manufacturer can choose the temperature at which the plastic dissolves to produce a suitable product.
Question 2: In addition, some netizens said that this is a good thing that can reduce white garbage, but the price must be lowered to be popularized, otherwise it will be the same as the existing starch lunch box, which is too expensive to promote.
Answer: The team said that with the mass production plan (existing plastic companies have changed their formulas to produce bags), the cost of dissolvable plastic bags has been reduced to be suitable for mass production into the market, which may be similar to the current price. But did not disclose the specific cost.
Solubag won the "SingularityU Chile Summit Award" for this product. The company is currently developing other water-soluble plastic products in China, and plans to officially launch them on the market in October this year.
In fact, it is not the first time that water-soluble plastic bags have appeared in the public eye. In 2017, an Indian uncle successfully invented an environmentally friendly plastic bag that can be edible and water-soluble.
The ingredients of this plastic bag include natural starches such as sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, etc., which are proportioned with vegetable oil derivatives. It is an out-and-out "organic food".
▽It’s no problem to fill up with heavy objects
It can also be ironed directly under the iron.
It's so magical.
Even if it is scorched, there is no toxic irritating gas.
It can be degraded naturally in 180 days, buried in soil for 45 days, thrown in water for 1 day, and dissolved in boiling water in 15 seconds.
▽Brother was also selected as "30 under 30" by Forbes magazine in 2017!
All sectors of society are working hard for environmental protection and for Mother Earth.
But environmental protection cannot be completely solved by designing a degradable or even edible plastic bag.
Environmental protection requires everyone's efforts and responsibility. One person's power is limited, but when everyone's heart is in one place, this goal can be truly achieved! To be truly environmentally friendly!
