Pineapple Waste to Soap and Detergent.
About half of the pineapple you eat ends up in the trash
shells and cores can be composted but in many places they don't
a company that turns excess fruit into Natural soaps and detergents
DUI founding leader Huang said that they are safer for the planet and people are very safe .
He drinks fermented fruit every day . Fermented fruit is part of a new trend. Enzyme cleaning instead of hardening does it really work? throughout history man has used all wash things from animal fat to human urine in early 20th century scientists thought how to make lab foam using Fossil fuels paved the way for all synthetic gel powders and cleaning chemicals are everything detergent is much whiter than she can See the difference immediately the problem is that they are full of things that water treatment plants do not formulated to clean like phosphorus and Nitrogen when these factors flood waterways, they can accelerate the growth of algae by creating thick layers of mud suffocating life Here is exactly what happened in North America in the 1960s Lake Erie was almost biologically dead Today detergent pollution has spread around the world foaming rivers and Cultivation of invasive algae
biotechnology bet fruit detergent is the next chapter to clean
some products The name fua comes from the fruit expression
Combatant company buys waste fruit from a canned pineapple factory
workers here have cut thousands Daily This stack is from half a business day these have already rotted in the nearby dumps produces odours and methane gas Strong planetary warming gas now the workers are loading waste onto a truck and go about two miles to where production
Here the team unpacks the fruit and wash them then they mix first
sugar and water ingredients use about two tons of sugar
every month workers add pineapple peels Sweeten the water and waitfor the mixture start fermenting Fermentation is when bacteria love
bacteria or yeast break down the complex molecules like sugar in simpler things like wine this is how barley becomes beer and grapes
become wine in the fermenting process, this is how waste becomes cleaning liquid but the secret is not Alcohol is an enzyme and an acid pineapple will come out Enzymes are molecules that can accelerate chemical reactions such as digestion in human body Some enzymes can fight germs by enter cells and break them down from the inside it can kill bacteria or just slow them down enough they probably won't make you sick foreign but to make these germs stop the enzymes from plants, you need to ferment The right blend of ingredients for just
good amount of time workers here stir the mixture every day
After about a month it looks like this East
in two months this bacterial world and microbial forms that's how you know it works founders keep nothing of theirs treat a secret Huang said he learned this technique
