避免污染竹纖維的創新洗衣袋

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
體積少於5毫米的塑膠微粒都可稱為「微塑膠」，主要來自微纖維、微膠珠和經長時間分解後的即棄塑膠產品。當中微纖維主要來自聚酯纖維（Polyester），其價格便宜且容易取得，成為製衣的主要成分。全球每年服裝纖維的消耗量在過去20年一直上升。單是在2010年，其消耗量達6970萬噸，人造消費纖維的增加更接近300%。

根據國際自然保護聯盟（IUCN）最新的調查報告顯示，每年進入海中的950萬噸塑膠中，家用及工業排放的微塑膠所佔的比例高達三成。單是在歐洲和中亞，清洗衣服釋出的微塑膠纖維已等同每人每周往海洋丟棄54個塑膠袋。

清洗衣服的時候，合成紡織品在洗滌過程中會將微小的塑料纖維釋放到廢水中。美國加州大學聖巴巴拉分校的研究人員在2016年發表的文章指出，當合成外套被洗滌後，洗衣機平均釋放出約1.2毫克微纖維。微纖維不會像天然纖維般隨着時間而生物降解，反而容易與廢水中的有害化學污染物分子結合。這些前往當地的污水處理廠的微纖維中多達40%可以進入河流、湖泊和海洋。研究亦指出，浮游生物和其他小型生物若吃下塑膠纖維會把塑膠纖維帶進食物鏈。雖然目前尚無研究顯示塑膠纖維會否對人體有害，但是可能要經數代才會得知這些物質的危害性。
洗衣機無法精細過濾
德國人奧利佛史派斯（Oliver Spies）和亞歷山大諾特（ Alexander Nolte）共同創辦了 Langbrett ，該品牌一直因以最可持續和最公平的方式生產而深受衝浪愛好者和大自然愛好者歡迎。

史派斯和諾特受到微纖維污染報道的啟發，兩者不約而同地對他們洗過羊毛套頭衫的鹼液進行研究。在顯微鏡下，他們發現灰色泥土旁邊有一小塊彩色纖維。他們從海洋活動家Angelika Heckhausen得知塑料製成的衣服在每次洗滌時都會損失數千根纖維，微小的垃圾因而變成棘手的海洋問題。

他們意識到自己是元兇之一，「我們看到的塑膠垃圾，並不是全部都會變成海洋塑膠。如果要解決海洋污染問題，必須看得比廢棄物處理更遠，需要由私營公司領導，研發改善生產方式。」作為工業設計師的史派斯認為必須有一個解決方案，但過程並不簡單。洗衣機缺乏足夠的精細過濾器，而廢水處理廠不能過濾出大部分微纖維，因此微纖維會回到河流或者通過污泥流到農田中。

終於，兩位創辦人在他們最喜歡的柏林啤酒花園裏集思廣益，想到發明網眼洗衣袋Guppy Friend。他們很快就聯絡德國與歐洲最大科技應用研究機構弗勞恩霍夫（German research institute Fraunhofer）測試、檢查洗衣袋的設計和材料，最後選用不容易釋出纖維的尼龍，成功讓肥皂水通過卻能留住塑膠纖維。

兩人用了兩年時間開發並獲得專利，在行業展會OutDoor 2016上展示了這款洗衣袋，並宣傳「停止！微廢物」（「STOP！MICRO WASTE」），最後獲得歐洲戶外行業「最具可持續性產品」金獎，及後更獲Vaude，Mammut等各大品牌的青睞。

2015年Langbrett與知名戶外服飾品牌Patagonia合作，獲得10萬歐羅的資金，用來開發洗衣袋和建立供應鏈。 兩人也在Kickstarter上成功募資，讓洗衣袋在網上開賣及在Patagonia上架。
Guppy Friend可回收再用
Guppy Friend是第一個針對塑膠纖維污染所開發的網狀洗衣袋，經特殊設計的微過濾材料能夠捕捉衣料脫落及洗滌過程中釋放的99%纖維；根據測試，它在數百次洗滌後保持功能性和完整性。袋子內部光滑，可減少纖維的磨損、斷裂，並減少衣服受到的機械應力及與其他衣服的摩擦力，從而延長紡織品的使用壽命。袋子以最高質量的聚酰胺作為製造物料，使袋子生命周期結束時完全可回收利用。

Guppy Friend洗衣袋只是邁向解決微纖維污染的第一步。人們的過度消費需要徹底改變，需要開發新材料，製造技術，清潔洗衣機和更有效的污水處理廠。這可能需要一段時間。在此之前，它是減少河流和海洋塑料污染的有效方法。

當台灣一天到晚在吵行動支付，甚至有人認為行動支付的比例是進步象徵時，瑞典人卻在前往無現金社會的路上頻頻回頭。瑞典多數人已幾乎不再使用現金了，越來越多商店和咖啡廳也拒收紙鈔和硬幣，不過國內漸漸湧起反對聲浪。

有時候當政府做得不錯，很難要人們不相信政府。「瑞典政府做得相當好，我們很幸運的過去 100 年都擁有很好的政府。在其他國家，人們會意識到你不能總是相信政府，但在瑞典卻很難讓大家有這種認知。」無現金經濟的反對者 Christian Engström 說。

2018 年 2 月瑞典央行行長 Stefan Ingves 提出警告，指出瑞典可能很快就會面臨所有支付方式都被私人銀行掌控的情況。Ingves 呼籲制定新的法律確保支付系統處於公共控制下，他認為支付體系屬於如國防和司法等公共利益。面對戰爭或天災等危機時，只要支付系統停擺，無現金社會就會面臨嚴峻挑戰。

72 歲的 Björn Eriksson 是反對無現金社會組織 Cash Rebellion（Kontantupproret）的領導者，他表示當系統完全數位化後，只要系統被關閉，國家就手無寸鐵。「如果俄羅斯總統普丁決定要入侵哥得蘭島（瑞典最大的島嶼，位於波羅的海），只要關閉支付系統就好了。」Kontantupproret 這種組織被視為是老人不思進步和落伍的象徵，但央行行長的示警讓這種想法開始走入主流。

數位安全顧問 Mattias Skarec 表示，沒有任何科技系統能完全避免小故障和人為詐騙。瑞典現在分成擁抱和拒絕新科技兩個陣營，不過 Skarec 認為如果覺得可以拋棄現金完全以科技取代，那就太天真了。Skarec 指出 2017 年就有兩家瑞典銀行在信用卡支付出過問題，許多詐騙犯也已學會利用系統的特點來騙取人們的錢。瑞典的支付體系已被形同壟斷的 4 間大銀行掌控，且其實科技支付系統沒有想像中安全。「很幸運的是那些知道該怎麼駭進支付系統的人現在都還跟我們站在同一邊，但不知道未來會變怎樣。現在要攻擊系統的確沒那麼容易，但以後可能會更簡單。」Skarec 說。

民意調查顯示瑞典人對走向無現金社會感到不安，有幾乎七成的人希望能保留使用現金的權利，僅有 25% 的人希望走向完全無現金的社會。左派和右派的國會議員都表達對此事的顧慮，議會正在對中央銀行的法案進行跨黨派調查，並討論現金議題。國家安全、科技系統的脆弱性和個人隱私的問題，成為瑞典人在走向無現金社會的顧忌。台灣大力推動行動支付之際，也應該好好思考這些問題，才能找出適用台灣社會的支付方案，而非一味跟隨科技潮流起舞。

A new paper released by researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) details the creation of gelatin-based actuators, a technology that could bring us closer to edible robots.

It's an admittedly strange dream, one the team hasn't quite wrapped its head around at this early stage. In a conversation with TechCrunch, Dario Floreano, the director of the school's Laboratory of Intelligent Systems, admits that the team may have put the cart in front of the horse in their research. The work was apparently born out of a challenge to create something new, rather than the desire to address any specific functionality.

"A year ago [grad student and co-author Jun Shintake] came to me and said, 'we are doing all of these bio-inspired robots, but biological systems are eaten and our systems are not'," he explains. "I thought that's very interesting. Food and robots have very different constraints and properties. Even before thinking about what we could make out of them, I though it was a very interesting challenge to see if we can marry these two fields."

Floreano lists off a number of potential applications for edible robots, including food that can walk itself to hotter or colder locations or inch its way toward the human or animal it's looking to feed. What's more immediately compelling, however, is the possibility of delivering automated medication, as touched upon in a recent Recode article that helped bring the EPFL study to wider attention.

"That's definitely a very interesting application," says Floreano, "because you may carry pharmaceutical components to a location where you want them to have an effect."

The research follows a similar study issued by MIT last year that detailed the creation of an origami robot made from dried pig intestines that essentially unfolds in an attempt to capture and removed harmful swallowed items, like batteries. What potentially sets EPFL's research apart is the creation of fully digestible actuators that can be broken down by the human body.

The creation of the actuators is part of the team's ongoing research into soft robotics, a sub-field of robotics inspired by nature that make for components that better comply with their environment. Notable applications for the technology include robotic grippers capable of conforming to a wide variety of different shapes.

Once inside the body, the robots could utilize internal chemical reactions to drive movement. They could also leverage non-toxic batteries designed as part of the growing field of edible electronics that can't be digested but can pass through the body without harm.

As for taste, it's pretty much non-existent on the current gelatinous version of the EPFL's early-stage edible robot. Though the researchers are teaming up with nearby École hôtelière de Lausanne, a world-class hospitality school, to create better-tasting robots in the future.

About this film

The Story of Solutions, released in October 2013, explores how we can move our economy in a more sustainable and just direction, starting with orienting ourselves toward a new goal. In the current 'Game of More', we're told to cheer a growing economy - more roads, more malls, more Stuff! - even though our health indicators are worsening, income inequality is growing and polar icecaps are melting. But what if we changed the point of the game? What if the goal of our economy wasn't more, but better - better health, better jobs and a better chance to survive on the planet? Shouldn't that be what winning means?

Most of us wear synthetic fabrics like polyester every day. Our dress shirts, yoga pants, fleeces, and even underwear are all increasingly made of synthetic materials - plastic, in fact. But these synthetic fabrics, from which 60% of all clothing on earth is made, have a big hidden problem: when they're washed, they release tiny plastic bits - called microfibers - that flow down our drains, through water treatment plants, and out into our rivers, lakes and oceans by the billions.
