Bionic Cotton Cotton-Sim: Example Of Recycling Plastic Bottles

Since the 40s of last century, plastic as a cheap, beautiful and lightweight material has begun to be put into use in developed countries. However, it has brought endless trouble and disaster to our environment.

Statistics show that in recent years, an average of 5 million to 13 million tons of plastic waste has been injected into the sea from the urban sewers and poured directly into the sea from large and small vessels. It is estimated that by 2050, the weight of plastic waste in the sea will exceed the total weight of fish. These plastic wastes are likely to enter the intestinal tract of marine organisms such as fish and turtles.

According to the daily mail of the UK, in addition to our familiar plastic waste bags, there are also a large proportion of plastic waste bottles in plastic waste. The data show that the world sells 1 million plastic bottles per minute, reaching a total of 500 billion in one year, equivalent to 20 thousand plastic bottles per second. This figure is expected to increase by 20% by 2021. Unfortunately, fewer than half of the waste plastic bottles are recycled at present. Only 7% of them are recycled to make new bottles, and most of the bottles end up in garbage or landfill. This means that the growth rate of waste plastic bottles is much faster than that of recycling.

As for the increasingly serious plastic pollution, experts have agreed that plastic pollution endangers all natural ecosystems and organisms on earth. The crisis posed by them is not the same as the threat of climate change, because plastic waste has polluted almost the entire planet, whether in the sea or on land.

The environmental friendly bionic cotton COTTON-SIM technology is another technology of recycling and application of waste plastic bottles, which can further increase the recycling rate of plastic bottles and people's understanding of circular economy and green environmental protection.

Environmental friendly bionic cotton COTTON-SIM is an environmentally friendly non dyed textile product developed by Mr. Zeng Xiang. It uses recycled waste bottles and other waste materials to produce color masterbatch. The color is made of phthalocyanine green pigment, coloring process is not needed for water, and the colored staple is produced through drawing. According to the special process, it is blended into colored grey yarn, which is made by computer matching into various colorful fabrics, and then processed with silk soft process, so that it has all kinds of colorful fabrics with cotton handle. Bionic cotton is not dyed with magic colors, and the cost of raw materials is lower than that of raw cotton. The process of traditional coloured flower ash is reduced, making it easier and more environmentally friendly to make garments from raw materials to garments.
