Alternate usage for plastic

[Vamsi Krishna]

Dear All, 

Could you please clarify below doubts:

 Is there any technology to solve the issues :

1. Can we convert below liquid items into solid state :

- Shampoo (Remove Water content to turn to solid. Solid parts will be in the form of 10 gram tablets. We will mix certain amount of water with each tablet to make liquid) Its just like soap bar and body wash (liquid soap)

- Edible Oils (turn into solid. To make liquid – just heat it. Like Dalda)

- Milk Packets (Removing Water we turn to solid, to make liquid add water)

Any other consumer frequently / daily used liquid product we can turn to solid.

The above ways of conversions to solid are just my thoughts. If better alternate is there – its most welcome. The whole aim is to minimise plastic usage. Due to its convenience and daily requirements we are using this plastic on daily basis and damaging the eco system very badly. More over the usage and pollution is increasing at a rapid rate.

We can reduce a lot of plastic wastage with this technology. With this we can sell in paper packages (bio degradable pack). Is this technology feasible or not? This plastic type of plastic packing is just few years old and we can see its effect clearly (land pollution). It is blocking all the drainage systems and polluting the land. The biggest concern part is - this type of usage is going on increasing at great pace due to its convenience. But we do not have disposal & recycling facilities. If we cannot stop now after few years, we cannot imagine the problems / pollution. We definitely leave plastic garbage world for our next generation. Recycling itself again air pollution. Already packaged drinking water also generating huge plastic waste and there is no alternate for it, except bottling. But when I thought about these products (shampoo, oil packets, milk packets etc) where there is a scope for solution.

2. Now a days Water Purifiers are with in the reach of middle class family. Everybody is buying. To generate 1 Ltr of water, minimum it wastes 4 liters of water. This water mostly going to drainage. 95% of homes they do not have proper facility to store and use that water. Hence they do not care the wastage and let into drainage. Can’t we pump back the rejected water into the existing water lines with affordable cost. If its affordable the consumer has to bare it for the damage we are doing for underground water.

Dear Vamshi,

Excellent though from your side. Especially the water purifier. Not only in homes but also in big laboratories this water can be reused.

For liquid product to solid this can be possible if our government makes some rule.

Dear Subhajit,

Your appreciation well noted with thanks. Can we do something like sending suggestion to Pollution Control Board of India. I know how a government agency works in India, but still i want to have a try. What do you say? Do you have any other source so that the govt will listen at-least. 

Other alternate thoughts - 1. Sending this suggestion to any other environmental organisations who can convince the govt.

2. Sending this suggestion to private companies (MNCs) which takes special interest in Environment.

Any helpful information in this regard is verymuch helpful for me.

Regards

Vamsi Krishna.
