However, after investigating some manufacturers of adult diapers, the reporter learned that the raw material they use to produce diapers is called loose pulp.
The so-called loose pulp, also known as mixed pulp in the industry, is pulp processed from waste recycled materials. These discarded recycled materials are basically defective products such as baby pants and diapers eliminated by some large factories in the south, and then they are crushed twice to extract loose pulp.
Some workshops that produce loose pulp are hidden in the village, and the doors are usually closed.
The reporter then contacted several people in charge of bulk slurry production and finally saw the whole process of bulk slurry production.
In the dusty factory, piles of waste diapers and defective diapers discarded everywhere have not been disinfected. After processing by several machines and workers, the raw materials of diapers attached to people are produced in such an environment.
These diaper wastes are basically eliminated by some big factories in the south.
The word "cojin" is printed on the waste of some diapers. Upon inquiry, cojin is actually a kind of diapers. Subsequently, the reporter got in touch with the manufacturer of diapers in Yin Yin. During the communication, the staff of Yin Yin Diapers told the reporter that the waste and defective products eliminated by their factory were indeed specially acquired. These wastes eliminated from large factories are recycled and then processed twice to extract loose pulp. The quality of reprocessed loose pulp is also uneven. A person in charge told the reporter that according to the different needs of customers, there can even be 18 quality differences in loose pulp.
The person in charge of a diaper factory in Tancheng County said frankly that although the diapers produced with loose pulp can't guarantee the quality, it is the main product on the market now. The person in charge calculated the account for the reporter. The difference in raw materials between loose pulp and virgin pulp can be doubled at most. However, the quality of these products is really worrying.
By observing the reporter, it is found that these adult diapers produced with loose pulp have more or less impurity residues. Because the raw materials themselves are eliminated defective products, in addition, the recycled materials of these defective products are easy to be doped with impurities in the crushing process. In the subsequent investigation, the reporter found that these loose pulps, whose quality cannot be guaranteed, were directly processed into adult diapers through the assembly line without any disinfection measures.
The reporter noticed that all the adult diapers produced by these manufacturers have obtained the batch number of eliminating Chinese characters, which belongs to disinfection products. According to GB 15979-2002 Hygienic Standard for Disposable Hygienic Articles, effective disinfection methods such as ethylene oxide, ionizing radiation or pressure steam must be adopted in the final disinfection of disinfection products, and the disinfection equipment used must meet the relevant hygiene standards.
In the investigation, the reporter found that the manufacturers of these adult diapers lack the important link of disinfection. Even a person in charge told reporters that even if there are disinfection facilities, it is only a formality to deal with the inspection.
So what is the quality of these loose pulp diapers? During the conversation, the person in charge of the manufacturer said that the quality of diapers produced with loose pulp could not be guaranteed at all. The total number of bacterial colonies and fungal colonies is very likely to exceed the standard.
In this way, the discarded waste, after layers of processing, became beautifully packaged adult diapers, and then used on the already frail middle-aged and elderly people. Although these diapers with worrying quality will have an impact on the health of middle-aged and elderly people, the heads of these manufacturers all said that because middle-aged and elderly people will not be cared for like babies, even if there are problems after use, no one will disturb them.
