Abstract
A kitchen garbage treatment material absorbs moisture contained in kitchen garbage, and is constituted by grains. The grains contain a water-absorbent material. The water-absorbent material is constituted by at least one of fluff pulp and water-absorbent polymer that have been obtained by separating plastic from a sanitary product that contains the plastic, the fluff pulp, and the water-absorbent polymer.
Claims10
A kitchen garbage treatment material that absorbs moisture contained in kitchen garbage, the kitchen garbage treatment material comprising:
- a plurality of grains containing a water-absorbent material constituted by at least one of fluff pulp and water-absorbent polymer obtained by separating plastic from a sanitary product that contains the plastic, the fluff pulp, and the water-absorbent polymer,
- wherein the grains include a granule that is obtained by granulating a granulating material that contains the water-absorbent material, and a coating portion that is provided so as to coat the granule and functions to bond the plurality of grains, which have absorbed moisture, to each other, and
- wherein the plurality of grains include both a first grain and a second grain, wherein the coating portion of the first grain is thicker than the coating portion of the second grain such that a thickness of the coating portion of the second grain is 80% or less of a thickness of the coating portion of the first grain.
A method for manufacturing a kitchen garbage treatment material that absorbs moisture contained in kitchen garbage, the method comprising:
- a preparing step of preparing a water-absorbent material that is constituted by at least one of fluff pulp and water-absorbent polymer obtained by separating plastic from a sanitary product that contains the plastic, the fluff pulp, and the water-absorbent polymer;
- and
- a forming step of forming the kitchen garbage treatment material that is constituted by a plurality of grains containing the water-absorbent material prepared in the preparing step,
- wherein the grains include a granule that is obtained by granulating a granulating material that contains the water-absorbent material, and a coating portion that is provided so as to coat the granule and functions to bond the plurality of grains, which have absorbed moisture, to each other, and
- wherein the plurality of grains include both a first grain and a second grain, wherein the coating portion of the first grain is thicker than the coating portion of the second grain such that a thickness of the coating portion of the second grain is 80% or less of a thickness of the coating portion of the first grain.
