Alterra Zog Saib Kom Tshuab Lub hau tawm ntawm cov yas rov ua dua tshiab

Lub ntiaj teb no muaj teeb meem pov tseg yas. Tej zaum tsis yog xov xwm rau koj.

Cov txheej txheem rov ua dua tshiab tuaj yeem pab tau, tab sis qhov tsis txaus siab nrog lawv yog tias cov yas ntau heev tsis tuaj yeem rov ua dua nrog lawv txoj kev. Yog vim li ntawd koj tsuas tuaj yeem tso qee yam ntawm cov yas rau hauv koj cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab.

Raws li qhov tshwm sim, ntawm no hauv Asmeskas tsuas yog kwv yees li 5% ntawm cov pov tseg yas rov siv dua txhua xyoo, thaum muaj li 9% yog incinerated thiab 86% yog landfilled. Qhov ntawd txhais tau hais tias kwv yees li 30 lab tons ntawm cov yas cua tuaj hauv Asmeskas cov chaw pov tseg txhua xyoo.

Alterra Zog ntawm Akron, Ohio, muaj cov kev daws teeb meem tshiab uas siv cov thev naus laus zis thev naus laus zis thev naus laus zis los ua cov khoom pov tseg yas tag nrho. Lub tuam txhab tau pib ua ib qho kev cog qoob loo rau cov ntaub ntawv pov thawj ntawm lub tswv yim hauv 2009, thiab tau tshaj tawm nws qhov chaw ua lag luam tag nrho hauv xyoo 2020. Thaum Lub Ib Hlis 2021, Neste Corporation, lub ntiaj teb loj tshaj plaws tsim cov roj hluav taws xob tauj dua tshiab thiab cov roj hluav taws xob ruaj khov, tau txais ib feem ntawm cov neeg tsawg hauv lub ntiaj teb. privately tuav ruaj, uas feem ntau yog muaj los ntawm cov neeg ua lag luam nyiaj txiag.

Fred Schmuck, Alterra's CEO hais tias "Hnub no, tsis muaj ntau cov yas rov ua dua tshiab," "Dab tsi yog, feem ntau mechanically recycled, qhov twg cov yas yog shredded thiab melted rau rov siv dua. Tab sis qhov ntawd txwv nws txoj kev siv vim qhov nyuaj rau rov ua dua laminates nrog rau cov khoom siv thiab cov xim uas tau ntxiv rau cov yas qub, thiab vim tias feem ntau nws tsis haum rau cov ntawv thov zaub mov. Peb ua haujlwm ntawm kev sib cais cov qauv molecular - rhuav tshem cov polymer los tsim cov blocks los ua cov yas tshiab. Txhua lub tuam txhab tshuaj lom neeg tawm muaj lub hom phiaj zoo rau kev siv cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab. " Cov khoom kawg uas los ntawm Alterra cov txheej txheem tuaj yeem siv los ua cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab rau cov khoom yas.

Ib qho ntawm lwm qhov kev sib tw nrog kev siv tshuab rov ua dua tshiab yog tias nws tsis tuaj yeem daws tag nrho cov khoom sib xyaw thiab cov txheej txheem ntau lawm, yog li cov neeg siv khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab raug yuam kom ua kom sib cais ntxiv ntawm lawv cov kwj deg ua ntej ua. Qhov ntawd tsis yog qhov xwm txheej ntawm Alterra tus txheej txheem. Schmuck tau hais tias "Peb tuaj yeem nqa cov yas sib xyaw thiab ntau txheej nrog cov khoom ntim thiab cov xim," Schmuck tau hais. Feem ntau peb siv yog # 2, # 4, # 5, # 6, thiab qee yam # 7 plastics. Peb lub hom phiaj yog txhawm rau ntes lwm 30-40% ntawm cov khib nyiab yas los ntawm 2030. "

"Peb tsis nyob ntawm no los sib tw nrog cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab," said Jeremy DeBenedictis, Thawj Tswj Hwm ntawm Alterra Energy. "Chemical recycling yog ntxiv rau qhov ntawd." Txawm li cas los xij, lub tuam txhab xav hloov qee lwm txoj hauv kev pov tseg yas xws li landfilling thiab incineration. "Peb lub chaw Akron ua haujlwm 100,000 phaus ib hnub twg uas yuav tsis muaj pov tseg," DeBenedictis hais ntxiv. "Peb saib peb cov txheej txheem raws li kev lag luam. Nws tau raug pov thawj, modular thiab tuaj yeem rov ua dua txhua qhov chaw. "

Lub hom phiaj tam sim no yog nyob ntawm qhov tseeb, rov ua cov txheej txheem thoob plaws ntiaj teb. Schmuck tau hais tias "Peb tseem tab tom pib," “Peb tsom mus rau kev nce qib. Ib nrab xyoo ntawm lub xyoo no, peb xav kom muaj ib thiab ob lab phaus hauv ib xyoos ntawm kev muaj peev xwm nce thiab khiav. "

"Neste yog ib lub tuam txhab ruaj khov tshaj plaws hauv ntiaj teb," DeBenedictis ntxiv. "Lawv tsis tsuas yog txhawb nqa kev xa tawm ntawm peb cov thev naus laus zis thoob plaws kev lag luam, tab sis peb muaj kev sib koom ua ke kev cog lus ib yam nkaus, yog li peb tuaj yeem siv Neste cov kws tshaj lij."

Alterra lub hom phiaj kawg yog txhawm rau rhuav tshem cov av tshiab hauv kev daws cov teeb meem ntawm cov pov tseg yas thoob ntiaj teb. Schmuck tau hais tias "Rau kuv, nws yog hais txog kev rov qab mus rau yav tom ntej ntawm kev rov ua dua tshiab," Schmuck hais. "Kuv qhuas txog cov thev naus laus zis uas twb muaj lawm, tab sis nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb rau peb kom txav deb ntawm ib leeg siv cov yas thiab cov roj nkauj xwb. Peb tau tsim cov kev daws teeb meem tshiab thiab lub sijhawm. Qhov peb tab tom ua yog hloov pauv cov khoom siv tseem ceeb ntawm cov khoom pov tseg thiab txo peb qhov kev xav tau ntawm cov khoom siv ntuj tsim hauv kev rov tsim cov khoom yas tshiab - nws yog qhov siv tau zoo ntawm cov peev txheej uas twb muaj lawm los hloov cov roj nkauj xwb. "

DeBenedictis tau hais tias "Saib koj lub thoob khib nyiab hauv tsev." “Thaum koj ua tiav koj cov kua mis nyeem qaub, lossis koj cov zaub xam lav, lossis koj lub butter, lub thawv nkag mus rau hauv lub thoob khib nyiab. Tab sis tag nrho cov ntawd muaj nqis. Yas yog tsim los rov siv dua. Peb xav pab qhib txoj hauv kev kom rov siv tag nrho peb cov yas. Tab sis peb txhua tus yuav tsum ua peb feem. Kuv tsev neeg muaj tsib tau ua qhov kev sim rov ua dua tshiab tau rau lub hlis, thiab peb tuaj yeem txo peb cov thoob khib nyiab txhua lub lim tiam mus rau ib lub hnab me me. Yuav ua li cas yog tias peb tuaj yeem tau txais txhua tsev neeg hauv Asmeskas ua ib yam dab tsi zoo sib xws? Qhov no yuav yog qhov kev hloov pauv hauv kev ua kom nrawm nrawm rau kev lag luam ncig tiag tiag. "
