3.Food waste is a big problem in Japan and the world.In 2019,Japan produced 5.7 million tons of food waste.The government is working on reducing this to 2.7 million by 2030.Now,University of Tokyo researchers in Japan have created a new technology that uses food waste in a surprising way.
Student Kota Machida and Professor Yuya Sakai IN University of Tokyo say the operation can turn foodwaste into a strong but bendable material like cement(水泥).They say it is four times stronger than regular concrete and is sustainable.And you can eat it.
At first Sakai used wood particles with heat and pressure to create the concrete,and then he moved onto food waste with plastics mixed in.Through a process of drying,crushing(壓碎),and compressing(壓縮)the food waste,Sakai and his student Machida had successfully made cement from food waste without plastic.They adjusted the pressure and the temperature with simple equipment that can be bought from theInternet. "The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures andpressure levels," Sakai said.
The team have used different types of food waste to make the cement,including tea leaves,orange peels,coffee grounds,and leftover lunch materials.They've adjusted flavors with different spices and found the colors,smell and taste of the cement can be quite appealing.To be able to eat the material,a person would need to break it into pieces and boil it.To make the cement water-resistant and protect it from being eaten by pests,it might be coated with Japanese lacquer(漆).
Machida and his two friends have created a company called Fabula,Inc.They are working with other companies to use the material to make products for the home. "The process of creating the cement could be used to make temporary housing that can be eaten if a disaster happens.The food cement can be reused and buried in the ground if not needed without affecting the environment.If this cement could replace plastic andcement products,it may help slow global warming linked to food waste,as well," said Machida.
(1)What is the food waste intended for?
A.Decorating houses.
B.Extending the service life of concrete.
C.Making a construction material.
D.Providing sustainable energy for electricity.
(2)What is the most difficult part of making the cement?
A.Mixing plastics with food waste.
B.Compressing and heating the wood.
C.Using the equipment to dry materials.
D.Regulating temperature and pressure levels.
(3)Why was Japanese lacquer used?
A.To reflect the strong sunlight.
B.To mask the smell of the cement.
C.To make the cement's color appealing.
D.To protect the cement from water and pests.
(4)What do Machida's words focus on?
A.Ways of using the cement.
B.The limitations of the cement.
C.The advantages of the cement.
D.Reasons for developing the cement.組卷:0引用:1難度:0.5
