How Banana Plant Waste Is Turned Into Sanitary Pads in India | World Wide Waste

[@smolderbreath3238]

It would be fascinating to see them branch out even more by making medical gauze and wraps from this stuff since so much is used in hospitals. Or even masks at this rate.

[@PBMS123]

Medical gauze is already made out of cotton, and NADs are coated in a very specific type of plastic so that they remain absorbent but do not stick to a wound. And medical waste has to be incinerated fully anyway.

Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.

The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions. Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope. Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome. Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey.

@@dickydarmawan6960 It's perfectly safe! I don't know why you would think it's unsafe. So long as the pads are changed very frequently and then properly washed and dried, there's absolutely no safety risk nor would there be any smell. In fact, there's naturally going to be a bit of odor from blood flow. As soon as it comes out, it does have an odor. The only thing that can be done is to change pads frequently, to minimize odor. But it's not at all a safety problem. And on heavy flow days, there's going to be more odor than at the end of a period when the flow is very light and tapering off. It has nothing to do with what kind of pad is being used. Tampons, which are not reusable, are going to be more effective in reducing odor. However, there's more of a safety risk with using tampons, because it's placed inside the body and could provide an environment for harmful bacteria to grow rapidly, as it's warmer and more moist inside the body. That's why it's very important to change tampons within a certain number of hours, and to use the appropriate size for the level of blood flow. It's not a large risk in general, and millions of women use tampons without ever experiencing a problem. Nevertheless, toxic shock syndrome is a much greater risk for tampon users than pad users.

Did they actually say that buried in the ground it will degrade in 6 months? I find that interesting as most things labelled as "biodegradable" actually require incredibly unique and specific conditions to biodegrade. If true, that's awesome!

[@mehere8038]

most genuine natural fibres will be gone in 6 months if buried in a moist environment. I grow some sugarcane in my home garden, which has pretty tough stems & leaves, but I use it as raised garden top up soil when I harvest my root vegetables & it only takes about 2 months before the soil level drops again becasue the sugarcane has totally decomposed in the garden. If I dig it up at that point there's a small amount left, 6 months later, there's nothing left, no sign it was ever there. No idea exactly at what point it's totally gone, I don't dig it up regularly to check, 2 & 6 months is just when I've dug in the garden for other reasons expecting to hit the pile of pure sugarcane stems & leaves & found nothing, so I would expect banana fibre to be the same if nothing else is added to it

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power. Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes. Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved. Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed. Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions. Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope. Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome. Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948

well I guess you've got this one now & it's a pretty good one, but I would look at bio-char & the impact of getting carbon into the world's soils if you want something different to this story. You could use onion skins for that & banana stems & the rice stubble that causes all the pollution in Delhi & everything else. In charcoal form it's stable for 1000 years & locked out of the atmosphere & helping retain fertiliser & other chemicals to stop pollution. Trees hold small amounts of carbon while they're alive, but retaining that carbon in charcoal form makes it permanent & actually useful (which trees sadly are really not)

The woman handled the UV cabinet in an inappropriate way which was extremely dangerous. The UV lamp must be off during the handling and it should function only in the proper safe zone. The person handling UV must wear protective equipment. The most important thing about the director's speech. She mentioned the use of pads as long as 5-6 hrs. Please DO NOT recommend that. A sanitary pad must recommend not more than 3hrs because a menstrual fluid is an ideal medium for bacterial growth. An ideal body temperature and the 3 hrs time is an ideal environment to promote the growth of bacteria and viruses. So, please do not recommend the use of pads for more than 3 hrs.
