hello to all I would like to start
showing a couple of images that
surely everyone
remember one related to an accident
that there was in the beginning of 2012 in the
our Mediterranean sea when the
concordia had the accident that everyone
we know
It was really a disaster but that if
we want to see the glass half full
somehow it was better than how
it could have gone because we have to
ask us what would have happened if
the reservoir of concord is yes
was broken and the fuel was
dispersed in the Mediterranean
our sea today probably will not
it would be the same and our coasts
ours to us our beloved ones
bathing would not be exactly the
themselves
let’s move a bit that we go into
Gulf of Mexico a couple of years before
we are in 2010 when the platform
oil most famous belief in the world
of water horizon that at the time was
used by the british petroleum ha
had the accident that was the
more important environmental disaster and more
great of the united states of america
on that occasion there are sacred gods
spills for six days
consecutive and more than 500 thousand tons
of oil have been dispersed at sea
there have been immediate attempts to
recovery of that oil, however
unfortunately, seven years later we find out
have even been pejorative
compared to what could be i
benefits that have led to an example
curious to know that
the chemical additives that have been
dispersed with in the substances that are
you have been freed on the surface
of the water are tied to the
heavier components than the oils
of oil have sunk by doing one
sort of covering mantle as if
had asphalted seabed
so they ended up on the backdrop
obviously suffocating and killing everything
all they have found before
their
without forgetting that the same
platform that sank during
the incident to date seven years later is
still there and then obviously many
shelters and so many dens of many beings
living of many underwater species
unfortunately they have been destroyed
we a system that we have found a
system that I love to define completely
ecological and in its own way funny though
to explain this curious project to you
I would like to leave
taking a step back and starting from
those that are a bit the three stones
milestones of this project and that they have
allowed this project to be born
first of all I would like to talk to you about the
our territory not so much
in the tourist meaning of the term ma
to explain how important it is
know our roots
when we have to understand where we want
to go
our project is about wool
you heard the name is called woods
therefore the word wool is preponderant
a project of this kind could not
that born in the land that is capital
of wool in the world here you breathe
an air of entrepreneurship and not
know how to do with wool that has no equal
in other places of our planet e
I believe that deep knowledge of
these our roots and knowledge
deep of our territory of that
that the territory offers us have
allowed to see a little more
in our project the second point that
it has been said to be important and to be a guide to the
the success of the project is certainly
our great mother nature mother
nature has wonderful powers
unthought if we can look at it
with the right eyes
we see that it reserves us a world
really very great of suggestions of
colors of perfumes and also of solutions
he has problems
think for example of snakes that are
more typical of the Australian areas than
they have very dangerous poisons and
damnable for man in the body
the first to find real antidotes a
a bite of a lethal snake are
It was the aborigines who did not
invented medicines chemical compounds
various concoctions with with something of
artificial but they took some plants
and they have cooked flowers
purchased they have extracted with some
system or I know absolutely natural the
their content their active ingredients e
they managed to heal from bites that
until then they were absolutely
lethal and this this is for me
it’s about magic and it’s a magic that
we should all have to learn to
watching einstein said look in
deep in nature and you will understand better
everything and this is a great thing
teaching because nature leaves us
the possibility if explored with criteria
and with and with a curious look
really the possibility of opening the
eyes to new worlds the third point that
he did some driving in this
project are the children are beautiful
images to show you that surely
you will all have in mind that the one between
little prince where they see one
snake that ate an elephant and
immediately under the same image without the
internal view of the snake’s belly
this image
it has also been the subject of studies
philosophical and debating discussions
not indifferent because while it is
adult look in that image sees a
hat therefore an object of use
everyday an object that everyone
know an object seen and reviewed the
child with his pure look
absolutely unconditional where not
opens up those prejudices for concepts and where
he does not have a mind already full of images
can see an extraordinary thing is
clearly an elephant eaten not
snake this this look so
full of imagination so creative
so pure from prejudices and what
we must preserve everyone and it is
what has allowed us to proceed and
who has approached is joined to the
nature and what we know from ours
neighbors our territory has done
born the project
the project in fact was born from one
child I will tell you this short story
that is really fun but that makes you
understand why I say this
the story is born of a child who
combines a little prank home
inadvertently of naphtha in a
pond in the lawn near home and from
good Italian is afraid of his mother
mom that is our main hinge
of all our lives as Italians
she would have come home and have it
scolded with a nice outburst if not
he had solved the problem then taken
panic you sling into the house goes to
look for material to be able to clean
this mess goes ahead
at the door of your neighbor ‘s house a
mattress and mattresses at the time it
they would do with wool and get one
handful of wool and said well I try
also with this thing the wool on the water
and as if by magic, the stain disappears
it is calm the mother arrives
he discovers nothing and everything ends there
and the question goes back to 2010
we are always in the Gulf of Mexico i
TV news
the invaded our homes with
of the images unfortunately really
chilling of that one
circumstance and that child now adult
remember and me but something like that
in my little pond in the house
I had seen it and I had managed to
collect that oil for which
phone calls start and get involved
research institutes on cutting universes
people who work with with fiber
wool deep connoisseurs of the fabric and
of its fibers and put together a
team the ur team that is slowly
managed to engineer the system
exploiting the intrinsic properties of the
material, wool does not absorb
water because the property of being
hydrophobic, however, if it is in contact with delle
fatty substances attracts them if this is
his property in his
characteristic and it happens if you wet
a wool sweater in winter when there
splashed by washing their hands
see that the dots remain on the
only mesh is not the fiber
so this is one of his own
properties exploiting this property e
exploiting the fact that wool fiber
if we mesh it under a microscope
It seems made of little scales either
these ladders or for some principles
physicists of whom I do not know how to bore you
they manage to attract and absorb them
oily substances
so we engineered everything
this one this system is made of
tests we have built a prototype of
a 20 meters because clearly not
we could do the tests at sea but if yes
verify a situation like that
of the Gulf of Mexico or why not in one
I bring any where maybe during the
there is fuel supply
actually one spill one
loss that oil there unfortunately a
long to go with with the continuum
repeating these operations goes to
pollute is going to affect the flora and the
existing fauna in that area and then
then as a result the fish that we
we eat becomes becomes contaminated
therefore it risks becoming less good
and make us live less experiences then
what we thought we thought
to install a kit on a ship where it is
take the wool you take a
empty container allows oil
there are systems that reiterate this
procedure in which wool behaves
as a selective sponge for which all
object at sea immerses it in water and
when the shot up or how it is as if
I had a sponge completely soaked
of oil when I take it on board
of my first las ship what
I think it’s oil again because it’s not
chemical additives and only state
so absorbed that oil there is
good is not contaminated can be
used my wool I can
reuse it over and over again in that
cycle because for the first dozen of
sometimes maintains the same capacity
absorbent that attention well and a lot
very high
the ratio is one to ten or so
so a pound of wool is able to
absorb 10 kg of oil so that
we have that the possibility of re-use
of the same amount of wool with the
so high absorbing capacity there
allows you to use relatively little
material to recover very large
amount of spilled oil
let’s imagine reiterating all this in
a process and in a few hours it would be
it was possible to recover those in
famous and 500 thousand tons that in
2010 have literally devastated the
Gulf of Mexico before D
go beyond I would like to show you
because then one eventually believes it when
one tells but it is not as simple as it is
see him
I have prepared this of the wool of the
wool washed solely for reasons
scenographic because the wool wash
it would have a really unpleasant odor
however this is the beauty of the sheep
the beloved we have a basin with
of the water that this water of the
tap then very normal water
wait that exposed back so maybe
it is seen is a jar in which I put
a little bit of oil so there is some
oil inside
I drop a few drops is a lot
I put them very dense because one forms
eyelet on the surface of the water
like when you happen to have oil
but cooking inside a glasses
drops a drop of oil inside a
glass then I take a quantity of
small wool does not need anyone who knows that
quantity because as I told you before the
absorbing power and very high
the support on the surface of the water
dip it slightly so that
manages to absorb well
I wait a few seconds so
collect for good and I get one
only oil sponge embezzlement
here there is only oil and those that
they come down are transparent drops of water
that have remained attached but this is
only oil and water is clean
if I have done more eyelets then
clearly I should pass it but if I
I had completely absorbed this
this amount of frog is now los
premise I would get the sponge to be able to
use again and the oil that
Retrieve ray would absolutely be from
bring to the end or whatever
What’s extraordinary is that it does not end here
because I have the oil I used
and there is the wool I used and that
now it is defined as exhausted in the sense that
it no longer has the absorbing capacity there
I said that
there are a dozen cycles that can be done
reiterate after this dozen cycles e
they have not started to lose
this absorbing power up to
exhaust it completely when this
absorbency runs out of the year
this is used inside
of the building area as an insulator
so with the same system that yes
he used today or as a cup
fuel in technological blast furnaces
which are however a low continuous a
low CO2 emissions then low
pollution rate but there is not it
ended here because this same wool does not
it must be a particular type of wool
it’s the sheep’s tosa
so as surely all those who
they work on the territory with this type
of material they know all the beauty of the
sheep is not used in fact
for textile purposes because there are some
less valuable parts of the parts more
coarse and then there are sheep
that even produce wool that
it’s too rough too rough and it’s not
suitable for textile use that everyone
we know neither clothing nor
furniture for 4 much that wool today
it is a long-standing problem to dispose of it because it goes
well that these can be used
jobs that were said before but not
you burn it because it would be one
sin therefore as fuel not
it would make sense
you can use it as in building as
as an insulator but let’s say it depends
from the technologies of the various countries can
be more or less common as you use it
mattresses and wool are not made any more
so our dear pastor friends of the
our beautiful sardegna do a little
it is hard to dispose of this wool
use would be a further advantage
even more environmentally friendly we use that
that today waste is a waste
something we have to worry about more than
dispose of in any way because not
we know what to do would become one
plus and strongly help for
safeguard the planet to collect
a material that unfortunately today is
precious oil
we know if we can not move
without the fuel so we have
the need to use it and so it is
a small wood tiger wood ecosystem
recycle ecosystem because it’s a small one
ecosystem all recyclable everything to
zero impact and to reconnect to that
which I said at the beginning is a system that
it provides us with the nature of the oil
He water by Mother Nature has it
from mother nature wool is a mother
nature so just look in
depth in nature to understand
things better
and this is how tradition meets
innovation because the tradition of a
territory where this type is known
of material has led to innovation
to understand the aims and uses
new that they could because they do not save
the world thank you
