What? Ball stars wear plastic on their bodies? Yes, and this kind of "plastic" jersey is more light and sweat absorbing than the cotton jersey, which is 13% lighter and environmentally friendly.
However, the production of "plastic" jerseys is more complicated. First, remove the labels on the collected discarded plastic bottles, classify them according to the different colors, and then put them into the high temperature equipment of more than 290 ℃ for melting after cleaning, disinfection and drying. In this way, the hightemperature melt produced will "incarnate" as silk fibers, and finally become the fiber material for making jerseys through processing. These fiber materials are also raw materials for producing various polyester yarns, fabrics and fabrics.Welcome to contact us to customize your bag
2014 Brazil World Cup
By the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, 10 teams had worn "plastic jerseys", and a total of 13 million plastic bottles had gained "second life".
2016 La Liga
In the La Liga 2016, the jersey of Real Madrid's first 11 players was made of marine plastic waste recycled from the waters of Maldives.
2016 Olympic Games
And the uniform of the American men's basketball team at the 2016 Olympic Games was also made of plastic bottles by the sponsors of jerseys.
However, the production process of "turning waste into treasure" had been put into large-scale production as early as 2010, and it was brilliant at the World Cup in South Africa.
Not only that, these environment-friendly materials can also be used in the production of automotive supplies, televisions, electronic equipment and other products, but also can be widely used in the production of sewing thread, toy fillers, space quilts, polyester tires, waterproof coiled materials, highway geotextiles, automobile interior blankets and other products.
However, the popularity of "plastic" technology is not "accidental", but inevitable "inevitable". It is understood that humans use 500 billion plastic bottles every year to discharge more than 8 million tons of plastic into the sea. These disposable plastic wastes are extremely difficult to be degraded. They constantly erode the earth's ecology, break the harmony of natural habitats and harm wildlife.
Data shows that each ton of recycled products can reduce 6 tons of oil consumption and 3.2 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 200 trees in a year. Recycled plastics can replenish a large amount of resources after orderly recycling, which makes Taiwan, where there are up to 4.5 billion discarded beverage bottles every year, greatly reducing the harm of plastics to the environment.
However, although the production process of "turning waste into treasure" can solve some environmental problems, the cost of the produced jerseys is not cheap. In 2016, the jerseys were sold for 60 pounds, or more than 500 yuan.
Therefore, more and more sports events, clubs and athletes began to explore new ways to curb plastic waste pollution from the source.
London Marathon: Compostable cups and recycled plastic bottles
The London Marathon is unique in two aspects. The organizers introduced 90000 compostable cups and 760000 plastic bottles to be recycled after the competition, so as to reduce the use of disposable plastic bottles and eliminate the phenomenon of plastic bottles being discarded everywhere in previous years.
Rugby game: 1 pound reusable football fan cup
The main stadium of the England National Football Team, Twicknam Stadium, has launched a reusable football cup worth 1 pound. The operation mode is the same as that of renting a cart for one yuan in the supermarket. After the game, fans can choose to return the football cup for a deposit or take it home as a souvenir.
Premier League Hotspur Team: Implement the "ban on disposable plastic products"
The Tottenham Hotspur team from the Premier League directly adopted a tough attitude on the issue of plastic waste and explicitly prohibited the use of all disposable plastic products, including plastic straw, plastic mixer, plastic tableware and all disposable plastic packaging.
