Iyo Ocean Foundation, Conservation X Labs uye vadyidzani vanozivisa gumi nevaviri vakapedza madhora mazana matanhatu nemakumi mashanu ezviuru zveMicrofiber Innovation Challenge mubairo homwe.

WASHINGTON, DC - Gumi nembiri mhinduro itsva dzekugadzirisa kusvibiswa kwepurasitiki microfiber dzakasarudzwa sevekupedzisira vane mukana wekuhwina chikamu chemadhora mazana matanhatu nemakumi mashanu emadhora sechikamu cheConservation X Labs (CXL) Microfiber Innovation Challenge.

The Ocean Foundation inofara kubatana nemamwe masangano makumi matatu kutsigira Dambudziko, iro riri kutsvaga mhinduro dzekumisa kusvibiswa kwemicrofiber, kutyisidzira kuri kuwedzera kuhutano hwevanhu nepuraneti.

“Sechikamu chemubatanidzwa wedu wakakura neConservation X Labs kukurudzira nekuvandudza zvinobuda mukuchengetedza, The Ocean Foundation inofara kukorokotedza vakapedza makwikwi eMicrofiber Innovation Challenge. Nepo microplastics ingori chidimbu chimwe chedambudziko rekusvibiswa kwepurasitiki pasi rose, kutsigira kutsvagisa nekuvandudza matekinoroji matsva uye ekuvandudza kwakakosha zvakanyanya sezvo isu tichiramba tichishanda nenharaunda yepasi rose pakugadzirisa mhinduro. Kuchengeta mapurasitiki kunze kwegungwa redu- isu tinofanirwa kugadzirisazve kutenderera kwekutanga. Vakafainari vegore rino vaita zvinokatyamadza mazano ekuti tingachinja sei magadzirirwo emidziyo kuti tideredze kukanganisa kwazvinoita pasirese uye pakupedzisira gungwa, "akadaro Erica Nuñez, Program Officer, Redesigning Plastics Initiative yeThe Ocean Foundation.

Mamirioni emafiber madiki anodururwa patinopfeka nekugeza zvipfeko zvedu, uye izvi zvinobatsira kune inofungidzirwa 35% yemakroplastics ekutanga anoburitswa mumakungwa nemunzira dzemvura maererano ne2017. ripoti neIUCN. Kumisa kusvibiswa kwemicrofiber kunoda shanduko yakakosha mumachira uye maitiro ekugadzira zvipfeko.

Iyo Microfiber Innovation Challenge yakakoka vesainzi, mainjiniya, nyanzvi dzezvipenyu, vezvemabhizinesi nevagadziri vezvitsva pasi rese kuti vatumire zvikumbiro zvinoratidza kuti hunyanzvi hwavo hungagadzirisa sei nyaya panobva, vachigamuchira zvakatumirwa kubva kunyika makumi maviri neina.

"Izvi ndezvimwe zvezvinhu zvitsva zvitsva zvinodiwa kuti pave neramangwana rakagadzikana," akadaro Paul Bunje, Co-Founder weConservation X Labs. "Tinofara kupa rubatsiro rwakakosha kune mhinduro chaidzo, zvigadzirwa, uye maturusi ari kugadzirisa dambudziko rekusvibiswa kwepurasitiki riri kukura."

Vanopedzisa vakasarudzwa nevekunze mapaneru enyanzvi akatorwa kubva kune yakagadzikana indasitiri yezvipfeko, microplastics research nyanzvi, uye innovation accelerators. Zvitsva zvakatongwa pamusoro pekugoneka, mukana wekukura, kukanganisa kwezvakatipoteredza, uye hutsva hwemaitiro avo.
