案例简介：@ edkashi的照片/甘蔗渣山是甘蔗生产后留下的纤维材料，被装载用于位于巴西圣马诺埃尔的Usina Sao Manoel的发电站，在那里，糖和乙醇是在24/7作业中生产的。甘蔗只含有约10% 糖。另一个90% 是甘蔗渣-将含糖果汁粉碎和挤压后的残留物。这张图片很2011年，今天我在《经济学人》上读到一种用于未来咖啡杯的新材料: 甘蔗废料。东北大学的机械工程师朱红丽和她的同事描述了甘蔗渣作为一次性塑料食品容器的可生物降解替代品的潜力。虽然这不是第一次测试这个想法，但宏力发现了潜在的缺失成分: 竹子。她和她的同事发现，这种新材料的强度是用于制作杯子的塑料的两倍，并且在装满沸水近两个小时后可以保持完整，足以满足实际使用。生产成本约为聚乳酸 (发酵植物淀粉) 制成的可生物降解杯子价格的一半，仅略高于塑料杯的生产。# 甘蔗渣 # 甘蔗 # 巴西 # 减少废物 # 减少塑料

案例简介：Photos by @edkashi / A mountain of bagasse, the fibrous material left after sugar cane production, is loaded for use in the power generation station at the Usina São Manoel, where sugar and ethanol are produced in a 24/7 operation, in Sao Manoel, Brazil. Sugar cane contains only about 10% sugar. The other 90% is bagasse—the remains after the pulverizing and squeezing of sugar-bearing juice.This image is from 2011, and today I read in the Economist about a new material for coffee cups of the future: waste from sugar cane. Zhu Hongli, a mechanical engineer at Northeastern University, and her colleagues describe the potential of bagasse as a biodegradable replacement for plastic disposable food containers. While this isn’t the first time this idea has been tested, Hongli found the potential missing ingredient: bamboo. She and her colleagues found that the new material is twice as strong as the plastic used to make cups and it can remain intact when filled with boiling water for almost two hours, long enough for practical use. Production would cost about half the price of biodegradable cups made from polylactic acid (fermented plant starch) and only slightly more than plastic cup production. #bagasse #sugarcane #brazil #reducewaste #reduceplastic
