A state-of-the-art method for reusing refrigerator polyurethane
What’s a refrigerator made of?
Basically plastic, copper, iron and polyurethane.
We see a method of reusing one of these components that is absolutely state-of-the-art.
Some of these materials, if the apparatus is abandoned, as already happened, in the open air, can be very harmful to the environment, the soil or the healthiness of the air.
It seems that some time ago in Rome the fashion raged to abandon a refrigerator in every street.
Therefore, some companies have focused on the dismemberment of Raee (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) in all their components. It seems that less than an hour is sufficient to dissect the entire individual refrigerator.
It has been found that one of the easiest components to dismember, recycle and reuse very effectively is the polyurethane, called “eco-friendly”.
This material in each appliance represents about 15% of the total on a weight of about 4 kilos. The polyurethane is decomposed, crushed or incinerated or otherwise reduced to powder, and reused.
On the basis of the decomposition of the material, a company has developed an advanced and pioneering system to absorb substances, liquids, oils, paints and highly harmful products within the water.
The concentration of harmful content in polluted water can be reduced by a very high percentage, almost more than 90%.
This new system does not need any energy to be developed, since it is extracted from Raee and, therefore, it is not guilty of releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
