Abstract
Description
Eco-friendly cup holder and manufacturing method thereof
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for recycling textile waste, waste fiber, and waste plastic, which comprises shredding textile waste, waste fiber, and waste plastic to produce a nonwoven fabric, and manufacturing an eco-friendly cup holder based on the produced nonwoven fabric.
[0002] Textile waste generated during the weaving process of yarn and various synthetic fibers, and waste fibers remaining after manufacturing clothing, sewing products, and various fabrics, etc. are specific industrial wastes and must be carefully disposed of. However, industrial wastes such as the above-mentioned textile waste and waste fibers are inevitably expensive to dispose of, so the unauthorized disposal of waste plastics, textile wastes, and waste fibers is widespread, causing serious environmental pollution problems. Therefore, various methods for recycling these wastes must be sought.
[0003] Currently, the level of recycling of waste plastic, textile waste, and waste fiber is limited to manufacturing insulating covers or resin products. Insulating covers are manufactured by compressing waste plastic, textile waste, and waste fiber to a certain thickness in the form of non-woven fabric. This not only has a limited range of applications but also has low added value. In addition, because the lifespan of insulating covers is short, they inevitably have to be classified as specific waste again after a certain period of use. This has been pointed out as a drawback. In addition, resin products are manufactured by melting waste plastic, textile waste, and waste fiber. This not only requires a lot of money to manufacture resin products, but also has the serious drawback of generating a large amount of air pollutants during the manufacturing process. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a utilization method that can create high added value by more efficiently recycling these waste plastic, textile waste, and waste fiber.
[0004] Meanwhile, many beverages, such as coffee, have recently become popular. These beverages are consumed in-store, but they can also be enjoyed on the go in takeout cups.
[0005] However, since take-out cups are disposable, they are lightweight within the usable range. Therefore, take-out cups are made as thin as possible. Due to this characteristic of take-out cups, the heat from the contents is easily transferred to the outside, making it difficult for users to directly hold the take-out cup with their hands when holding hot beverages. Furthermore, plastic cups are often used for cold beverages, and in this case, there is a problem that moisture on the outside of the cup caused by condensation is directly transferred to the users' hands.
[0006] To solve this problem, cup holders made of cardboard are commonly used. However, cardboard is not only unsanitary, but it also uses wood as a raw material, which causes environmental problems.
[0007] Textile waste, waste fibers, and waste plastics can include, for example, cotton, rayon, polyester, nylon, polyurethane, and wool. Meanwhile, the volume of textile waste generated during production at textile manufacturing plants, as well as waste fibers and scrap fabrics that are discarded without being reused, exceeds 700,000 tons annually. This waste fiber disposal poses a significant economic and social challenge, as it can lead to soil degradation due to landfilling and the release of toxic gases during incineration, leading to secondary environmental pollution.
[0008] The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a method for recycling textile waste, waste fiber, and waste plastic.
[0009] More specifically, the present invention provides a method for recycling textile waste, waste fiber, and waste plastic to manufacture an eco-friendly cup holder by recycling textile waste, waste fiber, and waste plastic, which comprises shredding textile waste, waste fiber, and waste plastic to manufacture a nonwoven fabric, and manufacturing an eco-friendly cup holder based on the manufactured nonwoven fabric.

[0033] Hereinafter, an eco-friendly cup holder and a manufacturing method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0035] The eco-friendly cup holder of the present invention (100 in Fig. 3) is characterized by being formed based on a nonwoven fabric manufactured by recycling textile waste, waste fiber, and waste plastic.
[0036] Referring to FIG. 1, a method for manufacturing an eco-friendly cup holder by recycling textile waste, waste fiber, and waste plastic according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a) a step (S10) of manufacturing a nonwoven fabric by crushing the textile waste and the waste fiber, b) a step (S20) of processing the nonwoven fabric into a band-shaped holder member having one end and the other end by pressing and cutting it at high temperature and high pressure, and c) a step (S30) of forming a holder body by joining the one end and the other end of the holder member.
[0037] First, nonwoven fabrics can be manufactured using textile waste, waste fibers, and waste plastics as follows (S10)
[0038] Textile waste, waste fibers, and waste plastics can include, for example, cotton, rayon, polyester, nylon, polyurethane, and wool. Meanwhile, the volume of waste plastic, textile waste, and waste fibers and scrap fabrics generated during production at textile manufacturing plants exceeds 700,000 tons annually. This waste fiber waste, which causes soil degradation due to landfilling and toxic gases generated by incineration, poses a significant economic and social problem, as waste fiber disposal poses a significant economic and social challenge. In particular, with the World Trade Organization's (WTO) ban on exports of polluting products, including those promoted at the Rio Earth Summit, and the trend of resource-producing countries weaponizing their resources, the development of alternative materials and products for raw materials is a crucial factor for companies' survival. This is a critical juncture for environmental conservation and economic development.
[0039] Specifically, waste plastic, textile waste, and waste fibers are collected and shredded into pieces less than 5 cm in size. The shredded pieces are then fed into a felting machine and processed into cotton. Once the felting process has formed waste fiber felt, a binder is added to the felt to induce bonding between the waste fiber pieces, thereby producing a nonwoven fabric.
[0040] Here, the binder may be natural rubber resin, epoxy resin, urea resin, melamine resin, or acrylic resin. The binder may be uniformly applied to both sides of the waste fiber felt in an amount of, for example, 20 to 30 g / ㎡.
[0041] Next, the manufactured nonwoven fabric is pressed and cut at high temperature and high pressure to process it into a band-shaped holder member having one end and the other end (S20).
[0042] The manufactured nonwoven fabric is fed to a rolling mill, where it is dried at high temperatures and pressure is applied. In other words, the mechanical properties of the nonwoven fabric are improved through a hot press process.
[0043] At this time, the hot press process can be performed at a temperature range of 150°C to 210°C. This allows drying so that the amount of binder applied to the nonwoven fabric in the previous process is 13% or less. Furthermore, the high pressure applied to the nonwoven fabric during the press process can be 0.4 MPa to 1.5 MPa.
[0044] During the press process, a sterilization process can be performed on the nonwoven fabric. This sterilization process can be performed, for example, using ozone (O3). While ozone treatment has been described as a method for sterilizing nonwoven fabrics, the method is not limited to this method. Sterilization can also be performed using chemical treatment methods utilizing sterilizing agents.
[0045] Meanwhile, during the pressing process, the antibacterial properties of the nonwoven fabric and the cup holder manufactured using the nonwoven fabric can be improved by impregnating the nonwoven fabric with an antibacterial agent.
[0046] More specifically, during the continuous pressing process of the sterilized nonwoven fabric, a process of treating the nonwoven fabric with an antimicrobial agent is performed. The antimicrobial agent may be in the form of a solution dispersed in a solvent. Here, the solvent may be, for example, water, ethanol, methanol, butanol, or isopropyl alcohol.
[0047] Meanwhile, the antibacterial agent may be copper oxide, copper sulfide, or 2-Hydroxypropyl-3-Piperazinyl-Quinoline Carboxylic Acid Salt Methacrylate. The antibacterial agent is dispersed in any of the above-mentioned solvents to form an antibacterial mixture, and the mixture is impregnated into a nonwoven fabric, thereby allowing the antibacterial agent to be treated on the nonwoven fabric.
[0048] The weight ratio of the solvent to the antimicrobial agent in the antimicrobial agent mixture can be set to 3:7 to 7:3. If the solvent weight ratio is less than 3, the fluidity of the mixture may be reduced, which may reduce the applicability of the antimicrobial agent. On the other hand, if the solvent weight ratio exceeds 7 (i.e., if the antimicrobial agent weight ratio is less than 3), the content of the antimicrobial agent in the mixture may be reduced, which may reduce the antimicrobial effect of the nonwoven fabric.
[0049] In addition, in order to provide anti-odor properties to the sterilized nonwoven fabric, a process of treating the nonwoven fabric with a fragrance may be performed. The fragrance may have, for example, an apple fragrance, a grape fragrance, a limonene fragrance, a pineapple fragrance, a strawberry fragrance, an orange fragrance, a lemon fragrance, a rose fragrance, a lily fragrance, a pine needle fragrance, a geranium fragrance, a cypress fragrance, a lavender fragrance, a peppermint fragrance, a jasmine fragrance, a geranium fragrance, a sandalwood fragrance, a juniper fragrance, a rosemary fragrance, a rosewood fragrance, a eucalyptus fragrance, a bergamot fragrance, a lemongrass fragrance, a tea tree fragrance, a neroli fragrance, a vanilla fragrance, a hazelnut fragrance, etc.
[0050] These fragrances include anethole, benzaldehyde, benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl formate, iso-bornyl acetate, camphene, cis-citral (neral), citronellal, citronellol, citronellyl acetate, para-cymene, decanal, dihydrolinalool, dihydromyrcenol, dimethyl phenyl carbinol, eucalyptol, geralnial, geraniol, geranyl acetate, geranyl nitrile, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, hydroxycitronellal, d-limonene, linalool, linalyl oxide, linalyl acetate, linalyl propionate, methyl anthranilate, alpha-methyl ionene, methyl nonyl acetaldehyde, methyl phenyl carbinyl acetate, laevomenthyl acetate, menthone, iso-menthone, myrcene, Myrcenyl Acetate, Myrcenol, Nerol, Neryl Acetate, Nonyl Acetate, Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, Alpha-Pinene, Beta-Pinene, Gamma-Terpinene, Alpha-Terpineol, Beta-Terpineol, Terpinyl Acetate, Vertenex (Para-tert-Butyl Cyclohexyl Acetate), Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, Iso-Amyl Salicylate, Beta-Caryophyllene, Cedrene, Cinnamic Alcohol, Coumarin, Dimethyl Benzyl Carbinyl Acetate, Ethyl Vanillin, Eugenol, Iso-Eugenol, Flor Acetate, Heliotropin, 3-Cis-Hexenyl Salicylate, Hexyl Salicylate, Lilial (Para-tert-Butyl-alpha-methyl Hydrocinnamic Aldehyde), Gamma-Methyl Ionene, Nerolidol, Patchouli Alcohol, Phenyl Hexanol, It may be any one selected from the group consisting of beta-selinen, trichloromethyl phenyl carbinyl acetate, triethyl citrate, vanillin, and veratraldehyde.
[0051] Additionally, oils may be included as fragrance oils. Examples of such fragrance oils include lavender oil, lavandin oil, and lemon oil.
[0052] Meanwhile, the deodorizer may optionally be further processed. For example, the deodorizer may be any one selected from the group consisting of carbon particles, silica gel, activated alumina, diatomaceous earth, cyclodextrin, and ceramic powder.
[0053] A nonwoven fabric processed by a high temperature / high pressure press is cut and processed into a band-shaped holder member having one end and the other end. The nonwoven fabric is cut in the press process and processed into a band-shaped holder member.
[0054] Referring to Fig. 2a, a holder member (110') can be cut from the manufactured nonwoven fabric. In addition, the holder member (110') can be formed as a band having a constant width. In this case, the holder member (110') can include one end and the other end, and the one end and the other end can be mutually joined by a process described below.
[0055] Continuing, c) the one end and the other end of the holder member (110') are joined to form the holder body (110 in FIG. 3) (S30). As a result, an eco-friendly cup holder can be manufactured.
[0056] In order to form the holder body (110), a process of bonding one end (11 in FIG. 2a) and the other end (12 in FIG. 2a) of the holder member (110') with an adhesive to form the holder body (110) in a ring shape can be performed.
[0057] More specifically, the process of forming a holder member (110') for forming a holder body (110) is a process of forming the holder body (110) so that a ring shape is formed by joining one end (11) and the other end (12) of both sides based on the extension direction of the cut holder member (110'). As the holder body (110) is formed into a hollow cylindrical shape, a storage space capable of storing a cup can be formed.
[0058] At this time, a pipe-shaped mold can be used to make the circumference of the holder body (110) constant. Accordingly, by joining both sides of the holder member (110') while wrapping the holder member (110') around the mold, a holder body (110) having a constant circumference can be formed.
[0059] Meanwhile, referring to Fig. 2a, the bonding between one end (11) and the other end (12) can be achieved by using an adhesive. For example, after applying an adhesive to one end (11) or the other end (12), the one end (11) and the other end (12) are temporarily bonded by overlapping the one end (11) and the other end (12) on the adhesive. Afterwards, the adhesive is heated through high-frequency induction heating, and when the viscosity of the adhesive increases, the adhesive is fused between the one end (11) and the other end (12), so that the bonding between the one end (11) and the other end (12) can be achieved more smoothly. Afterwards, the adhesive is cooled to strengthen the hardening of the adhesive, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the one end (11) and the other end (12). As a result, the bonding between the one end (11) and the other end (12) is finally completed.
[0060] Thermoplastic resins can be used as adhesives. For example, polyester or polyurethane can be used as adhesives.
[0061] Referring to Fig. 2b, a holder member for manufacturing an eco-friendly cup holder according to an embodiment of the present invention can be manufactured, for example, in a polygonal band shape. The holder member of Fig. 2b is also manufactured using waste plastic, waste fiber, and fiber waste by the above-described method. When the holder member illustrated in Fig. 2b is wound around a mold and both sides are joined, a holder body (110) having a constant circumference, as illustrated in Fig. 3, can be formed.
[0062] Also, referring to Fig. 2c, the holder member for manufacturing an eco-friendly cup holder according to an embodiment of the present invention can be manufactured in an illustrative, asymmetrical fan-shaped band shape. The holder member of Fig. 2c is also manufactured using waste plastic, waste fiber, and fiber waste by the above-described method. When the holder member illustrated in Fig. 2c is wound around a mold and both sides are joined, a holder body (110) having a constant circumference, as illustrated in Fig. 3, can be formed.
[0063] Even when forming a holder body (110) with the holder member shown in FIG. 2b and FIG. 2c, both sides of the holder member are joined using the adhesive described above to form the holder member into the holder body (110).
[0064] The method described above for manufacturing an eco-friendly cup holder by recycling textile waste, waste fiber, and waste plastic has been described. Referring to Figures 3 to 5, the eco-friendly cup holder manufactured by the above method is as follows.
[0065] The eco-friendly cup holder (100) according to the embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5, may include a holder body (110). The eco-friendly cup holder (100) has a circular ring shape with open upper and lower portions, thereby forming a storage space for a cup, and when a cup is inserted into the storage space, the outer circumference of the cup can be wrapped.
[0066] This holder body (110) can be formed into a ring shape by joining the two sides in the extension direction of the holder member (110') described above, which is made of a band having a constant width. That is, by rolling the holder member (110') into a round shape and applying an adhesive to the two sides that are in contact and attaching them, a holder body (110) having an open upper and lower part, i.e., a hollow cylindrical shape, can be formed.
[0067] Meanwhile, the holder member (110') may be formed in a fan-shaped shape, and thus, when both sides in the extension direction are joined, a cup storage space in the shape of a truncated cone with an upper diameter larger than a lower diameter can be formed. The shape of the holder body (110) may be modified into various forms depending on the shape of the cup.
[0068] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the state of use of an eco-friendly cup holder according to an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 5, when an eco-friendly cup holder (100) is fitted to the outer surface of a cup, heat generated from a beverage such as hot coffee contained in the cup or cold air generated from a cold beverage contained in the cup can be blocked by the eco-friendly cup holder (100). In other words, the heat or cold air generated from the beverage contained in the cup is blocked by the eco-friendly cup holder (100), thereby preventing the cold air or heat from being directly transferred to the user's hands. Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, an appearance of an eco-friendly cup holder (100) manufactured according to an embodiment of the present invention being used can be confirmed. The eco-friendly cup holder (100) of the present invention can effectively block heat or cold air generated from a beverage contained in the cup, and can contribute to environmental protection by promoting the recycling of waste plastic, waste fiber, and textile waste.
[0069] In this way, according to the present invention, a cup holder is manufactured using recycled materials, and by adding patterns or engraved patterns, printed photos and images, etc. to the surface of the cup holder, it is possible to add visual effects and increase sales.
[0070] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but can be manufactured in various different forms. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without altering the technical spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood to be illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
