Abstract
The present invention generally relates to an eco-friendly wearable article comprising a nutrient complex capable of efficiently able to reduce or eliminate methane gas emission during biodegradation of the article, and a method of making the eco-friendly wearable article containing the nutrient complex. Preferably, the nutrient complex typically comprises anionic sulphate ions and cationic salts of iron(II) and copper(II), thereby facilitating methane oxidation in an anaerobic environment such as a landfill.
Claims16
An eco-friendly wearable article comprising at least two components including:
- a nutrient complex and an elastomeric mixture;
- wherein the nutrient complex comprises anionic sulphate ions and cationic salts of iron (II) and copper (II) that are present as free ions such that they are available on a surface of the article, to interact with at least one selected from the group consisting of methane-consuming microorganisms, methanotrophs, methanotrophic microorganisms, and methanotrophic organisms including species which feed on or consume methane present in landfill, to effectively reduce methane gas emissions during landfill biodegradation process of the article.
An eco-friendly wearable article comprising at least two components including:
- a nutrient complex and an elastomeric mixture;
- wherein
- the nutrient complex comprises ferrous sulphate, present in a concentration of at least 0.009 μg/cm2, cupric chloride present in a concentration of at least 0.003 μg/cm2, and magnesium sulphate present in a concentration of at least 0.083 μg/cm2;
- the nutrient complex designed to effectively reduce methane gas emission during landfill biodegradation process of the article.
