Pollution hazard Due to the limitation of the working principle of energy-saving lamps, mercury in the lamps is inevitably a major source of pollution. An ordinary energy-saving lamp contains about 5 mg of mercury, which is only enough to be covered with a ballpoint pen tip, but it may cause 1800 tons of water to be contaminated after it penetrates into the ground. Because mercury has a low boiling point, it can evaporate at normal temperature. After the waste energy-saving lamps are broken, the concentration of mercury in the surrounding air can be exceeded by a hundred times. Once the mercury in the human body exceeds the standard, it will destroy the central nervous system of the human body, and the human body can kill by inhaling 25 mg of mercury vapor at a time. China's energy-saving lamp promotion strategy has been in existence for a long time. In 2008 alone, 62 million energy-saving lamps were promoted nationwide. Until 2009, it was as high as 1.2 billion. The country promotes energy-saving lamps up to 200 million. China is still blank in the harmless treatment of energy-saving lamps. The broken energy-saving lamps are sent to the landfill for landfill with domestic garbage. In 2006, China's scrapped mercury-containing lighting appliances were equivalent to 1 billion standard fluorescent lamps of 40 watts, and the amount of mercury released into the atmosphere due to improper disposal reached 70-80 tons. Because the old energy-saving lamps contain toxic and harmful elements such as mercury and lead, they are the second largest domestic waste “mercury pollution source†after the waste battery. The energy-saving lamp recycling system in China is very “naiveâ€. If the disposal is improper, the pollution risk is not allowed. Neglect. Some lead-type electronic fuel-saving lamps lead, mercury, lead in ballasts, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in plastic parts exceed the standard; and some energy-saving lamps in the capillary, lamp holder, ballast all lead Exceeding the standard, mercury in the capillary exceeds the standard. Recycling problem "It is very energy-efficient to use, and there is no channel to take back." It has become one of the outstanding problems of electronic waste today. It is found that whether it is a supermarket or a waste recycling station, the waste energy-saving lamps are "not to be given by white." Some enterprises have engaged in public welfare recycling, but they are thought to have to renovate and sell energy-saving lamps. The energy-saving lamp recycling box should be padded with sponge and transported carefully. Public welfare activities often fail to collect a few energy-saving lamps for a long time, and waste energy-saving lamps mixed in garbage bins and garbage stations are often seen. Shanghai Electronic Waste Trading Center has a set of 1700 tons of imported equipment for recycling waste energy-saving lamps, which is very rare in China. On this type of processing line, the staff wearing protective equipment will send the waste energy-saving lamps into the processing equipment, and then recover them by crushing and mercury absorption. It is understood that a staff member of the Shanghai Electronic Waste Trading Center is seriously "eat not enough", mainly relying on some organs to send some old lamps. [8] At present, only three units in the country have obtained the national license to dispose of mercury-containing waste lamps. However, due to high recycling and transportation costs and harsh transportation conditions, the operating rates of these three companies are not high. Solution First, vigorously promote the waste energy-saving lamps can not be "thrown away." It is necessary to increase publicity efforts to establish a social consensus that energy-saving lamps are strictly prohibited from being discarded and illegally handled as "critical waste." The second is to strengthen the environmental responsibility of producers. The third is to increase financial intervention. It is necessary to improve the regulations on the prevention and control of electronic waste pollution. Enforce the system of recycling used electronic products by manufacturers; strictly implement the system of garbage sorting and recycling in cities, especially requiring large users to place used lamps at their designated locations. At the same time, the government must support the development of waste energy-saving lamp recycling industry. It is necessary to support and encourage the development of waste energy-saving lamp recycling business entities through measures such as financial support, tax incentives, and technology introduction, thereby achieving paid recycling and improving recycling efficiency.
Thermal Plastic Elastomer (TPE), elsewhere known as
thermoplastic rubber, is a copolymer class or a mix of polymers. Usually, the
polymers mixed to create TPE material are plastic and rubber. Anyway, the thing
with TPE is that it consists of materials with thermoplastic and elastomeric
qualities. So, TPE yoga mats are constructed from thermal plastic elastomers
and other material. The fusion with other materials is done with closed-cell
foaming under high temperatures. After this process, the TPE yoga mat is easier
to clean and is resistant to various microbes.
Also, the TPE material has a few advantages, such as
increased eco-friendliness, better elasticity, and recyclability; which make
the TPE yoga mats more eco-friendly than PVC yoga mats. You see, the TPE
material has some attributes of non-PVC, non-toxic, and non-heavy metal
materials. This kind of profile makes TPE yoga mats suitable for both travel
and house use.
The TPE yoga mats are a relative newcomer to the yoga
mat market. Right now, it is the most popular in the USA, Europe, and
high-spenders in China. Its market potential is huge, thanks to the high
performance and high environmental protection it offers.
