[Chinese Packaging News] Japanese inventor Ito Akira has invented a new machine that can convert household plastic waste into fuel. With the help of this new machine, various plastic garbage bags stacked in the kitchen can eventually become waste.
The machine first heats the plastic waste and then sends the steam to a system of pipes and water chambers. The steam is cooled and liquefied and reduced to crude oil. Crude oil can act as a fuel for generators and some stoves. After further refinement, crude oil can also be converted into gasoline.
This machine is sold by the company Blest Corporation of Ito Chang, and it is very popular with consumers. It can convert 1 kg of plastic garbage bags into 1 liter of crude oil, with a power consumption of 1 kW. The current price of the recovery machine is US$10,000. With the increase in demand and output, the price may drop further. The oil produced by the combustion of this machine still emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which has an impact on climate change, but they are a solution to the growing number of plastic waste. Envion company said that the annual production of plastic garbage up to 50 million tons. If all of these plastic wastes are converted into crude oil, the dependence on imported crude oil can be reduced.
Waste plastic bottles only need to go through 4 processes and process for 30 minutes, and they can use plastic waste and sawdust to produce WPC composites. This composite material not only contains no formaldehyde, but also has new functions such as environmental protection, low price, and 100% reuse. At present, the wood-plastic composite material has been widely used in the construction industry, road barriers, industrial pallets, packaging boxes, agricultural greenhouses and other fields, effectively recycling some of the plastic garbage. The person in charge of Shaanxi Huisheng New Resources Technology Co., Ltd. said that the company currently has 60 profiles production lines, and the annual output of new wood-plastic composite materials can reach more than 20,000 tons. It can not only effectively solve the problem of white pollution and the full use of agricultural plant fiber, but also can provide a direct and economical new way for the development of regional economy and the management of circular economy and white pollution.
It is understood that the company's new wood-plastic agricultural greenhouse skeleton, the market price is not only one-third cheaper than steel, and it can be made into a double film greenhouse, which is helpful to improve the growth of crops. This type of product is not only suitable for the construction of platforms, railings, walkways, but also can be widely used in interior decoration, logistics, transportation pallets and other fields.
