the First eco-benches of the local production set in the courtyard of the halfway house on Vokzalnaya street, where waiting for their own apartments live 14 graduates of orphanages.
Ten minutes of Assembly – and new benches take their place in the Park near the shelter. They look like they are made of wood, but is actually made of a mixture of sand and melted plastic bags and are much cheaper than wood.
– Our project is a startup less than years, – told “RG” the head of “ecological environment” Oleg Pokes. – We started with the separate collection of garbage. Began to collect raw materials and think what to do with it? And turned to the technology of polymer-sand products. The film starts to produce harmful substances when heated to combustion temperature 380 degrees. We have a film not on, we are brought to the melting temperature at 270 degrees so it has the consistency of clay. Packages, which are usually thrown away, is placed into the extruder, melted, mixed with sand, getting a homogeneous mixture. It lay in the form and placed in a press. It does not use any additional paint or harmful chemicals
one shop manufacturers of eco-friendly furniture, it takes about 10 thousand of plastic bags and about 80 pounds of sand. Depending on the shape, the weight of one finished product reaches 120 pounds.
Two plastic eco-friendly benches made of recycled materials – this one saved tree. They are heavy, sturdy, do not require painting, do not deform, do not burn, are not afraid of the impact of cigarette butts. By the way, the raw material inventors provide simple Kostroma. With the participation of the charity Fund “the Geography of good” bins for separate waste collection have already appeared in the courts of the Kostroma 18 houses.
– Our yard is very actively involved in separate waste collection, – said “RG” ecoactivity Natalia Tsvetkova. – The regional operator of the project unprofitable, because he gets paid for volume: the more garbage the better. But when we learned that the plastic can not be sent to landfill, and to turn into beautiful and eco-friendly street furniture, paving slabs and products for the garden, we decided this project to support. Agreed to install in the yard of our house special container. Its contents are taken from us twice a month.
In ekodvizhenie “In the name of life” we are convinced that separate waste collection can significantly reduce the “footprint” of the person and the degree of harm to the nature.
the fewer men will remain unprocessed residues – “tails”, the better. The only existing near Kostroma dump “the Hill” works with violations. She has almost completely exhausted its resources, and a suitable location for a new landfill is still not selected. So for us the question of proper sorting and utirizatsii garbage – very important, – said co-chair of the environmental movement “In the name of life”, the Deputy Gordumy Valentina yamschikova.
the Issue of garbage processing active Kostroma is associated not only with new technologies but also with education.
– Our Foundation has a new line of eco-project – a “Good plastic”. Now the money collected after recycling the plastic in the framework of the campaign will be aimed at landscaping, urban parks and social institutions of the city, – said the head of the charity Fund “Good Geography” Oksana Odegova.
She echoed Konstantin Sitnikov, head of the charity Fund “the Future is now”, which is received eco-benches halfway house for orphans.
– what is being done is very important. Even if it is small steps but we need to change people’s minds. Only with a responsible approach to the environment we can preserve it for our children and to be sure that we did not cause too much damage, having lived in this beautiful place, said Konstantin Sitnikov.
Two test benches as a gift for the town entrepreneurs established in Kostroma Park “Berendeevka”. In the near future eco-benches of the old packages will appear on the territory of Pervomaisky orphanage in embankment Chernigovskoy and service centers for the elderly.
Oleg Pokes, head of the manufacturer:
– With the installation of containers for separate waste collection in the courtyards of apartment buildings there are difficulties: these buildings serves a regional operator, we can’t go into their territory. But we hope that the initiative for the installation of these containers support the residents of the private sector, which can make this kind of decision on your own. Problems with raw materials we have. In a month we can produce up to 300 street benches. It goes on everything. You may even use that tape, which for transportation was wrapped benches installed today in a social institution.
