New life for old police jerseys Police are supporting a repurposing initiative with a New Zealand-owned woollen mill to turn old jerseys into unspun fibre and then into blankets for official police use only. The blankets are initially due to be trialled with Wellington’s maritime policing unit and in patrol cars. The current uniform policy states that all obsolete or faulty items of police uniform must be returned to be destroyed and disposed of at a landfill. Since June 2019, 17 tonnes of uniform items have been returned for disposal in this way. “Working in partnership with other groups to explore ways to achieve broader positive outcomes is important to us, be they environmental, social, economic or cultural,” said manager procurement and contract management Ged Callaghan. “We’re hoping that this initiative to recycle what would have been destroyed and sent to landfill can be a springboard into other recycling or repurposing initiatives.” In July 2020, a call went out for old jerseys that could be used for the first test run. Procurement worked with Response and Operations Group (R&O) to ensure this went smoothly. Staff answered the call, and 145 old jerseys were returned to Lockheed Martin, who manage police uniform supplies. The jerseys were sent on to a team at The Information Management Group (TIMG), who manage police secure document blue bins. They removed and destroyed the police coat of arms and anything else on the jerseys that was not wool. These leftover jersey pieces were then sent to Woolyarns, a 74-year-old Lower Hutt- based mill that’s usually in the business of turning natural fibres like wool and possum fur into yarn. “This is certainly a different project for us, and we’re literally breaking down the jerseys and turning them back into woollen fibre that can be repurposed into a new product,” said Woolyarns general manager Andy May. Old police jerseys are being repurposed and turned into blankets for official police use “The test run was a success, and we have proved police jerseys can become yarn once again.” In collaboration with police R&O Group, a prototype hand-knitted beanie was initially produced, and consideration was then given to other types of woollen products before deciding on a blanket. Staff at Police National Headquarters were canvassed for a name for the blanket. The winner was Ahurutanga, meaning warmth, comfort and security. Staff are encouraged to hand their old jerseys in to be recycled. FOREST AND WOODLOT OWNERS IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE HARVEST OF ANY: ADVERTORIAL (Part one) WAIKATO FarMING LIFESTYLES March 2021 11 Inflammation Is your body hot, cold or lukewarm? I am not talking about your actual body temperature but the degree to which unwanted inflammation is affecting your body. Some inflammation we can feel and see. There is also silent inflammation that has no symptoms but can cause disease. Inflammation is an amazing part of our body’s healing systems. It is an essential part of how we fight infections and heal against damage caused by injuries. It is always associated with fighting infection. Without infl ammation, our fi rst infection or injury would have probably ended our lives. The signs of infl ammation are heat, swelling, redness and pain, including loss of function. Inflammation is a process where our immune (white blood) cells produce a wide range of chemicals that coordinate the process of removing the cause of the problem and then clean up the mess to complete the healing process. These processes are incredibly complex and involve a wide range of cell types and a variety of messenger compounds. Many infl ammatory problems are caused by overactive messengers triggering unwanted inflammation. The infl ammatory process is like your kitchen tap. When working well, you get cold water when you turn the cold tap and hot water when the hot is on. Unwanted inflammation is like turning the cold tap and getting warm or even hot water instead. A common cause of unwanted inflammation is when our body tries to repair a problem that it cannot fix. That is typical of osteoarthritis. The problem is caused by cartilage erosion. However, most of the pain is caused by immune cells inflaming joint tissue in an attempt to repair it. All this does is cause unnecessary pain, swelling and loss of function. If you are affected by arthritis or any infl ammation, I recommend following an anti-infl ammatory diet with supplements that can help reduce unwanted inflammation.
