The pineapple skin that is thrown around in the street is recycled by the Vietnamese people, and 100,000 tons are recycled every month and sold to the market to earn a lot of money. what is the use of pineapple skin?
The pineapple skin is very thick and has a thick layer of spikes on the exterior, and most people will just throw away the skin when they eat the pineapple.
Some people find that pineapple peels, orange peels, and grapefruit belts have a fruity scent, so they will put them indoors to eliminate odors.
However, the Vietnamese people have discovered more secrets about pineapple peels.
In 2016, a Vietnamese discovered that fruit knives used to peel pineapples rarely rust, and even rusty knives are cleaned up after prolonged contact with pineapple peels.
After observing this, he immediately carried out research with his team and found that pineapple peel contains a lot of acidic substances, which can act as a "toilet bowl cleaner" to clean alkaline dirt such as lime in the bathroom.
They also found that the pineapple skin and coarse, hard leaves may seem useless, but they contain a variety of enzymes, including enzymes that break down fats and oils.
The enzymes in pineapple peel can break down oil into small molecules without damaging other items or the texture of the skin, making it a milder method of stain removal.
So, can you make a cleaner from pineapple peels?
The cleaner made in this way might be more comprehensive than other cleaners and still a natural product.
So the Vietnamese boy with his team, after 2 years of research and development, finally found a way to make pineapple peel cleaner in 2018 and started the road to riches.
They found a large local can processing factory and reached a cooperation with the owner to recycle all the pineapple peels that originally needed to be shipped to the garbage disposal station at a low price to be used for processing into cleaning agents.
These cleaning solutions are shipped to major supermarkets in Vietnam and sold at a price of about $2.
Some of us also use orange peels in our lives to clean dishes and remove oil and grease from them.
More and more people are looking for more natural and gentle means of cleaning.
Perhaps the use of various types of fruit peels and plants to make cleaners will be the future direction of development.
