Students of an educational institution under the guidance of teacher Vladimir Yermilin presented to the jury an unusual Ecopabulum material, which can be used to make environmentally friendly disposable tableware.

“The idea of ​​creating such material appeared right in the classroom while studying the topic of modern society and the problems it faces,” said Vladimir Ermilin. “I am very close to the idea of ​​green energy, and I am also interested in topics aimed at preserving life on our planet. I invited the students in this context to think about what could be done to make the world we live in better. clean plates of APPLE pomace. The children became interested in the topic, and we started working on it: we wanted to make something no worse than the Japanese version ourselves."

This is how the teacher and students came up with the idea of ​​creating eco-friendly and safe for people's HEALTH tableware, the binder material of which is ordinary casein, a MILK processing product. And the guys were able to make it at home. Any biomaterial could be used as a filler, but oatmeal became the cheapest and most accessible: they were ground in a coffee grinder and mixed with casein. The resulting composition was placed in a mold in the form of a plate and the resulting product was dried using a simple device using a household hair dryer - an analogue of a heat chamber. It was this prototype that was presented at the defense of the project.

“When using Ecopabulum in the manufacture of disposable tableware, it is important to take into account the fact that the larger the production, the cheaper the final product will be,” Vladimir Ermilin emphasized. environmental load.Moreover, it is easy to dispose of.After use, it can be sent to animal feed, used as fertilizer - even without grinding, plow into the ground, compost and, in combination with peat, get biohumus, use for stove heating.However, the most important thing is that even if left outside, it will be recycled naturally and will not harm the environment."
