Ua manaʻo wau e hana i kahi ʻāpana ma ka palaka e-waste no kekahi manawa i kēia manawa. ʻO kēia no ka mea ua hana wau i ka nui o ka kālepa e-waste plastic i ka makahiki i hala. Kūʻai au i nā kamepiula baled a me nā kīwī mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a lawe mai iā lākou i Kina no ke kūʻai ʻana a me ka hāʻawi ʻana.
ʻO ka palaki e-waste, i kapa ʻia i kekahi manawa "e-plastic," i haku ʻia me ka plastic i wehe ʻia mai nā lako uila e like me nā kamepiula, nā kiaʻi, kelepona, a pēlā aku.
Eia ka pilikia, ma mua o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ʻana o ka e-plastics a lilo i resin plastic recycled, pono e hoʻokaʻawale mua ʻia i kona ʻano plastik. Hoʻokumu pinepine ʻia ka ʻōpala uila i nā ʻano penei: ABS, ABS (flame-retardant), ABS-PC, PC, PS, HIPS, PVC, PP, PE, a me nā mea hou aku. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ʻano plastik kona wahi heheʻe a me kona mau waiwai a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohui ʻia no ka hana huahana.
No laila ʻo ka nīnau i kēia manawa, pehea mākou e hoʻokaʻawale ai i nā mea āpau?
ʻOiai ʻokoʻa ka hana ʻana o nā mea ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa (ʻoi aku paha ka maʻalahi ma muli o ka uku kiʻekiʻe), ua laki au i ke kipa ʻana i kahi mea kanu hoʻokaʻawale e-plastic ma Shanghai, Kina kahi i hana lima ʻia ai ka hapa nui o nā mea.
Wahi a ka mea nona ka hale, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā e-plastic nā mea kanu i lawe ʻia mai nā ʻāina ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka plastic mai kēia mau ʻāina, ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa.
Ke ʻōlelo wau i ka manual, manaʻo maoli wau! ʻO ka hana mua i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka e-waste plastic, ʻo ia ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā ʻāpana nui ma ka lima e nā poʻe loea e hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ma waena o 7-10 mau ʻano plastik ma ka nānā ʻana, ka manaʻo, a me ka puhi ʻana. I ka manawa like, pono e wehe nā limahana i nā metala (ʻo ia hoʻi, nā ʻūlū), nā papa kaapuni, a me nā uwea i loaʻa. He wikiwiki loa ka poʻe akamai a hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ma waena o 500KG a ʻoi aku paha i ka lā.
Ua nīnau au i ka mea nona ka pololei o kēia mau mea a pau. Ua pane haʻaheo ʻo ia, "ʻo ka pololei a hiki i ka 98%, inā ʻaʻole kēia ka hihia, ʻaʻohe oʻu mea kūʻai e kūʻai i kaʻu mea ..."
Ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā ʻāpana nui, hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ka mea ʻoki a me ka holoi ʻana. Hoʻomaloʻo ʻia nā flakes plastik i ka lā a mākaukau e hoʻopili ʻia.
No nā ʻāpana e-plastic liʻiliʻi ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale lima ʻia, hoʻokomo ʻia lākou i loko o nā ʻauʻau wai kemika me nā ʻano paʻakai like ʻole. Mai ko'u hoomaopopo ana, he wai wale no kekahi o na ipu. Ma muli o nā density, e lana maoli nā plastics PP a me PE i luna. Wehe ʻia kēia mau mea a waiho ʻia.
A laila ʻohi ʻia ka palaka ma lalo a waiho ʻia i loko o kahi pahu ʻē aʻe me ka nui o ka paʻakai, nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Hoʻopili hou ʻia kēia kaʻina a hiki i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ke koena o nā plastics.
