循環經濟救海洋

你知道每年有多少噸漁業廢棄物/漁具進入海洋? 50萬到100萬噸!這些“幽靈漁具”佔每年海洋垃圾量的 10%。* 

幽靈漁具主要是廢棄漁網,由聚乙烯、尼龍、聚酯和聚丙烯等合成纖維製成。它們非常耐用且不能分解。此外,幽靈漁具會破壞珍貴的海洋棲息地和物種。並威脅海上船隻的航行與生計。

製造魚網的材料眾多,但尼龍是回收鏈最完整的一種。而且透過新技術:化學回收和製成的再加工轉化成的再生尼龍纖維其材質屬性與性能參數跟全新的尼龍差距甚少。 

台化是全球目前三家擁有化學散聚回收尼龍技術的企業之一(另外2家是義大利Aqufil及南韓曉星Hyosung)  2022年底, 台化將擁有全球最大的廢棄漁網化學回收站。台化更與全球第二大漁網製造商金洲合作: 透過漁民、漁民協會與地分政府一起建立完善的廢網回收通路; 利用化學回收製程將再生尼龍變成高端面料和服裝。不僅讓廢棄漁網轉換成戶外服裝和其他功能性紡織材質並創造生產、使用、回收再利用的循環經濟模式。

6月5日是世界環境日,今年聯合國以「只有一個地球」(Only one earth)為主題,呼籲大家關注當今環境所面臨的氣候變遷、生物多樣性的喪失與塑膠汙染等三大危機。廢棄漁網對海洋生態危害極大,而在台灣,漁民、漁民協會、漁網製造商、尼龍生產商與政府正一起努力為地球行動。這不僅成為台灣循環經濟的新典範,更是台灣對地球永續發展的期許!
