O le Polyurethane o se tasi o mea e sili ona faʻaaogaina i le lalolagi, ae e masani ona le amanaiaina io tatou olaga i aso uma. Ae pe o oe i le fale, i le galuega poʻo totonu o lau taʻavale, e masani lava e le mamao, faʻatasi ai ma faʻaoga masani e amata mai i faʻamaʻi ma meaafale e faʻapipiʻi ai fale, vaega o taavale ma e oʻo lava i alofivae.

Ae pei o isi palasitika e masani ona le toe faʻaaogaina, o le faʻaaogaina lautele opolyurethaneo lo'o fa'atupuina atugaluga e uiga i lona a'afiaga o le si'osi'omaga. Ina ia malamalama atili i avanoa mo le toe faʻaleleia o le polyurethane mo le toe faʻaaogaina ma le suia o vailaʻau o loʻo faʻaaogaina i lona gaosiga i isi mea faʻavae, o tagata suʻesuʻe mai le US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, Northwestern University ma le Dow Chemical Company na tuʻufaʻatasia e faʻatautaia le iloiloga muamua o "Material Flows of Polyurethane i le Iunaite Setete." O le suʻesuʻega na faʻasalalau talu ai nei i le api talaagaSaienisi ma Tekinolosi.

"O le sini o le malamalama pe faʻafefea le laina faʻatusatusa i le faʻaogaina o le polyurethanes i le Iunaite Setete," o le faʻamatalaga lea a le tusitala o Jennifer Dunn, o ia o le faʻatonu lagolago o Northwestern's Center for Engineering Sustainability and Resilience ma o se sui o le Polokalama i Plastics, Ecosystems and Public Health i le Institute for Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern (ISEN). "Na matou mananao foi e vaʻai pe iai ni avanoa e faʻaleleia ai le liʻo ma faʻateleina le faʻaogaina o meaola o polyurethanes."

Ole laina ole tamaoaiga ole tasi lea e fa'aogaina ai mea mata e fai ai oloa ma e masani ona lafoa'i ile fa'ai'uga o latou olaga. I totonu o se tamaoaiga faʻasalalau, o na lava mea e toe maua ma toe faʻaaogaina. Ole mea lea e fa'atapula'aina ai le mana'omia o le fa'aopoopoina o punaoa faanatura, e pei o suau'u fa'atosina, a'o fa'aitiitia le aofa'i o otaota e lafo ile lapisi.

O Dunn, o ia foi o se polofesa lagolago o kemikolo ma meaola faʻainisinia i Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering, fai mai e ui na faʻamoemoe le au suʻesuʻe e suʻe se tele o laina laina mo polyurethanes, "i le vaʻaia e ala i le vaʻaia o meafaitino, mai le amataga mea e oʻo i le iʻuga o le olaga, sa naʻo le laina manino."

E tusa ai ma le tusitala o Troy Hawkins, o le na te taʻitaʻia le Fuels and Products Group i Argonne's Systems Assessment Center, o le suʻesuʻega na faʻaalia ai le tele o faʻalavelave e aʻafia ai pe faʻafefea ma pe a mafai ona toe maua mai polyurethanes ma toe faʻaaogaina.
