Pioneering Flintshire-based company Revolymer has come up with a gum which can be removed from the streets using only water. Anyone who has trodden in chewing gum, and parents in particular, will be delighted to know it can also be removed from shoes, clothes and hair with soap and water.
Some 9,000 tonnes of chewing gum is disposed of in Britain each year, with up to 80pc of that ending up littering the streets. Normal chewing gum is made with a kind of synthetic latex which is extremely adhesive and takes a long time to break down. Revolymer says its product adds a new polymer to the mix which makes it far easier to remove and quicker to degrade. The product has "the same chewing texture and flavour release as standard gum," said Roger Pettman, Revolymer's chief executive. "You wouldn't know the difference."
Sem duvida alguma, vem dar muito jeito, em especial para quem quer limpar aquelas mesas de sala de aulas na qual os alunos tendem a fazer "colecção" de pastilhas elásticas já mascadas...
