Opening 100 Thousand Beverage Bottles Pformed Into T-Shirts

After the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, about 100 thousand beverage bottles were left in the 775 sets of fruit boxes and 994 trash cans in the bird's nest and the Olympic Park public area.

These discarded beverage bottles have not become waste products, and will be made into T-shirts, new beverage bottles and so on after being classified and recycled.

According to reports, the first stop of the 100 thousand beverage bottles "pformation Tour" is the small Wuji refuse sorting station in East Fourth Ring Road.

There, the beverage bottle was sent to the first line of garbage sorting using the most advanced near infrared light sorting technology in China. Through the light sorting technology, the beverage bottle can be completely separated from other refuse and automatically packed.

After careful separation, the beverage bottle will be shipped to the designated recycling enterprise, the second stop of Beijing Ying Chu renewable resources Co., Ltd.

Here, the beverage bottle first needs color sorting, and then it is cleaned and sterilized by physical and chemical methods.

According to the different materials of beverage bottles, some of them are crushed into plastic fragments, some of which are melted into plastic blocks and polyester fibers by melting at high temperature. These basic materials can be made into T-shirts, beverage bottles, schoolbags, caps, etc.

The beverage bottle has better plastic material and higher regeneration rate. 6 bottles of beverage can be made into 1 recycled and environment-friendly T-shirts with 85% polyester fiber content.

Abroad, many brands including Adidas and Puma are producing recycled and environmentally-friendly clothing products.

If the beverage bottle is produced, 100 recycled beverage bottles can be made into 80 new beverage bottles after removing the external pollution layer.

Plastic bottles are mostly made of petroleum, and an average of 6 tons of oil can produce 1 tons of plastic bottles.

In addition to saving non renewable fossil resources, the cost of regenerating bottles is 7% cheaper than that of native bottles.

According to the head of the Municipal Department of Beijing, sorting, recycling and recycling of beverage bottles is part of the Green Olympics concept. The Beijing Olympic Games will fully implement the promise of 100% garbage collection and 50% recycling.
