Nuhou a me ka Pai

I ka makahiki 2018, ua hoʻololi ʻo Sun Basket i kā lākou pahu pahu pahu pahu i hoʻololi hou ʻia i Sealed Air TempGuard, kahi liner i hana ʻia me ka pepa recycled i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma waena o ʻelua mau ʻāpana pepa kraft. i ka poʻe packers no ka hoʻopuka ʻana mai i kēia manaʻo," i kākau ai kekahi kāne.
He ʻanuʻu maikaʻi loa ia i ka hoʻomau ʻana, akā ke mau nei ka ʻoiaʻiʻo: ʻO ka ʻoihana pahu meaʻai kekahi o nā ʻoihana e-commerce e hilinaʻi mau nei i (nā huina hoʻohālikelike) i ka paʻi palaki—ʻoi aku ma mua o kou lawe ʻana mai i ka home. ʻO kāna ʻili iʻa ponoʻī, a i kēlā me kēia pō ke hana hou nei ʻoe i ka puʻu o ka ʻilika, kuke ʻoe i kā lākou meaʻai prepackaged. ʻAʻole hiki ke hala.
ʻOiai ʻo ka hoʻāʻo nui ʻana o Sun Basket e hoʻomaikaʻi i kona kapuaʻi kaiapuni, pono e lawe ʻia nā meaʻai palaho i loko o nā ʻeke plastik. Ua haʻi mai ʻo Sean Timberlake, ka luna kūʻai ʻikepili kiʻekiʻe ma Sun Basket, iaʻu ma o ka leka uila: "ʻO ka protein mai nā mea kūʻai aku o waho, e like me ka ʻiʻo a me ka iʻa, ua hoʻopili ʻia mai nā mea kūʻai aku me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka polystyrene a me ka polypropylene Layer hui." "He ʻenehana maʻamau kēia i hoʻolālā ʻia e hōʻoia i ka maikaʻi o ka meaʻai a me ka palekana."
ʻAʻole kūʻokoʻa kēia hilinaʻi ʻana i ka plastic i ka lawe ʻana i ka meaʻai. Hiki i nā mea kūʻai kūʻai E-commerce ke hāʻawi maʻalahi i nā pahu pahu me nā mea recyclable, FSC-certified tissue pepa a me soy inks hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o nā pahu hana hou. Hoʻokahi mea e hoʻomau mau nei nā brands iā mākou: LDPE #4 ʻeke kiʻiʻoniʻoni puʻupaʻa, i ʻike ʻia ma ka ʻoihana he ʻeke plastik.
Ke kamaʻilio nei au e pili ana i ka laka zip maʻemaʻe a i ʻole ʻeke ʻeke ilikai āu e hoʻohana ai no kāu mau kauoha a pau ma ka pūnaewele, nā mea āpau mai nā pahu meaʻai a hiki i nā mea hana a me nā mea pāʻani a me nā mea uila.
He 165 biliona mau pūʻolo i hoʻouna ʻia i ka US i ka makahiki 2017, a he nui nā ʻeke i loaʻa i nā ʻeke plastik no ka pale ʻana i nā lole a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea uila a i ʻole nā ​​buffalo steaks.
ʻAʻole ia he pilikia inā loaʻa iā mākou kā mākou ʻōpala, akā nui ka nui o kēia plastik - 8 miliona mau tona i ka makahiki - hele i ka moana, a ʻaʻole maopopo ka poʻe noiʻi i ka wā hea, a inā paha, e biodegrade maoli ia. ʻO ka ʻōpū. Loaʻa nā microplastics i loko o ka wai paipu a puni ka honua, ka nui o ka paʻakai kai, a - ma kekahi ʻaoʻao o ka hoʻohālikelike - nā feces kanaka.
Hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia nā ʻeke plastik (a no laila ʻaʻole ma ka "papa inoa maikaʻi ʻole" o ka hoʻolālā ʻana o Nestlé e hoʻopau i nā mea hoʻopihapiha), a nui nā mokuʻāina e koi nei i nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale kūʻai maʻalahi e hāʻawi i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā pahu no ka hana hou ʻana i nā ʻeke plastik i hoʻohana ʻia. Akā ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻaʻohe mea e hiki ke hana hou ʻia ke ʻole ka makemake o kahi ʻoihana e kūʻai i nā mea hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia. Kiola ʻia lākou. ʻO ia ma mua o ka pau ʻana o Kina i ka ʻae ʻana i kā mākou mea hana hou i ka makahiki 2018.
ʻO ka neʻe nui ʻana o ka ʻōpala ʻole he pane ia i kēia pilikia. Hoʻoikaika ka poʻe kākoʻo e hoʻouna ʻole i kekahi mea i ka pae ʻāina ma ke kūʻai ʻana i ka liʻiliʻi; hana hou a me ka compost inā hiki; lawe pū me ʻoe i nā ipu a me nā mea hana hou; a kākoʻo i nā ʻoihana e hāʻawi ana i nā tiers manuahi. Hiki ke hoʻonāukiuki loa i ka wā e kauoha ai kekahi o kēia mau mea kūʻai mai kahi mea i kapa ʻia ʻo sustainable brand a loaʻa iā ia i loko o kahi ʻeke plastik.
"Ua loaʻa wale kāu kauoha a ua hoʻopili ʻia i loko o kahi ʻeke plastik," i pane aku ai kekahi mea hoʻopuka i kā Everlane's Instagram post e hoʻolaha ana i kāna mau alakaʻi "no new plastic".
Hiki i nā hoʻololi liʻiliʻi ke hoʻololi nui, a eia mākou e kōkua. Ke hoʻolauna nei i kā mākou alakaʻi hou ʻole i ka plastik. Makemake ʻoe?
Ma kahi noiʻi 2017 e Packaging Digest a me ka Sustainable Packaging Alliance, ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe loea a me nā mea nona nā inoa i nā nīnau i nīnau nui ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku a) no ke aha ʻaʻole kūpaʻa kā lākou ʻeke, a b) no ke aha i nui loa ai kā lākou ʻeke.
Mai kaʻu mau kamaʻilio ʻana me nā brand nui a me nā mea liʻiliʻi, ua aʻo au i ka hapa nui o nā hale kūʻai mea kūʻai aku ma waho - a me nā hale lole lole āpau - mai nā hale hana humuhumu liʻiliʻi a hiki i nā hale hana nui me 6,000 poʻe, e hoʻopili i kā lākou huahana i hoʻopau ʻia i loko o ka plastic i koho ʻia. i loko o kahi ʻeke plastik. No ka mea inā ʻaʻole lākou, ʻaʻole e loaʻa nā waiwai iā ʻoe ma nā ʻōlelo āu i noi ai.
"ʻO ka mea i ʻike ʻole ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku ʻo ke kahe ʻana o nā lole ma o ke kaulahao lako," wahi a Dana Davis, ka hope pelekikena o ka hoʻomau, ka huahana a me ka hoʻolālā ʻoihana no ka brand brand Mara Hoffman. Hana ʻia nā lole ʻo Mara Hoffman ma United States, Peru, India a me Kina. he pūʻulu i poino a hoʻololi i nā lole ʻōpala.
No laila, inā ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻeke plastik i kou kūʻai ʻana, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ʻaʻole i loaʻa ma mua, ʻoiai ua wehe paha kekahi ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o kāu ukana.
ʻOiai ʻo Patagonia, kahi hui i ʻike ʻia no kona hopohopo kaiapuni, ke kūʻai aku nei i nā lole i hana ʻia mai nā hue plastik recycled mai ka makahiki 1993, a ua hoʻopili ʻia kona lole i kēia manawa i loko o nā ʻeke plastik.
"He hui nui loa mākou, a he ʻōnaehana kāʻei conveyor paʻakikī mākou i kā mākou kikowaena kikowaena ma Reno," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia.
ʻO nā ʻeke plastik ka koho maikaʻi loa no ka hana. He māmā lākou, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ke kumukūʻai. Eia kekahi (a ʻike paha ʻoe i kēia mea kupanaha) ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ka GHG i nā ʻeke pepa ma mua o nā ʻeke pepa i ka pōʻaiapili ola e ana i ka hopena o ke kaiapuni o kahi huahana ma kona pōʻai holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa.
ʻO ka noʻonoʻo hope loa no ka moana ka mea nui no United by Blue, kahi lole waho a me kahi hōʻailona hoʻomoana e hoʻohiki nei e wehe i hoʻokahi paona ʻōpala mai nā moana a me nā ala wai no kēlā me kēia huahana i kūʻai ʻia. nā ʻeke plastik maʻamau o ka hale hana i nā envelopes pepa kraft a me nā pahu me 100% mea hiki ke hana hou ʻia ma mua o ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā mea kūʻai.
I ka manawa i loaʻa ai i ka United by Blue ko lākou kikowaena kikowaena ma Philadelphia, ua hoʻouna lākou i nā ʻeke plastik i hoʻohana ʻia i TerraCycle, kahi lawelawe hoʻihoʻi leka uila āpau.
I kēia manawa, me ka nui o nā ʻeke plastik i hoʻohana ʻia i ka US, ʻo nā lawelawe hoʻokele ʻōpala e mālama i ka hana hou ʻana i nā kikowaena hoʻokō e hoʻopaʻa nei i nā ʻeke plastik a loaʻa iā lākou kahi mea makemake e kūʻai.
Lawe nā hale kūʻai ponoʻī o Patagonia a me nā hoa kūʻai nui i nā huahana mai loko mai o nā ʻeke plastik, hoʻopaʻa iā lākou i loko o nā pahu hoʻouna, a hoʻihoʻi iā lākou i kā lākou kikowaena hoʻolaha Nevada, kahi e kaomi ʻia ai lākou i loko o nā ʻeke cube ʻehā kapuaʻi a hoʻouna ʻia i The Trex, Nevada wahi, kahi e hoʻohuli ai iā lākou i mea hoʻopololei hou a me nā lako waho.
Akā, pehea ka wā e wehe ai ʻoe i ka ʻeke plastik mai kāu kauoha?” Ke hele pololei nei i ka mea kūʻai aku, ʻo ia ka paʻakikī, "wahi a Foster."
ʻO ke kūpono, e lawe mai nā mea kūʻai aku i nā ʻeke e-kelepona i hoʻohana ʻia me kā lākou ʻeke berena a me nā ʻeke kūʻai i ko lākou hale kūʻai kūloko, kahi e loaʻa mau ai kahi wahi hōʻiliʻili.
ʻO nā mea hoʻolimalima me nā lole i hana hou ʻia e like me ThredUp, For Days and Happy Ever Borrowed e hoʻohana i ka ʻeke lole hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia mai nā hui e like me Returnity Innovations.
No nā kumu i luna aʻe nei, i ka manawa i hoʻoholo ai ʻo Hoffman i ʻehā makahiki i hala aku nei e hoʻomau i kāna hōʻiliʻili lole holoʻokoʻa, ua nānā ʻo Davis, ka VP o ka hoʻomau ʻana o Mara Hoffman, i nā ʻeke compostable i hana ʻia mai nā mea kanu. mea kūʻai aku - e uku ka brand i ka uku.
ʻO nā mea manawaleʻa o ke keʻena ʻo Mara Hoffman ma kahi kikowaena compost ma New York City i ʻike lākou i nā pilikia mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana. Ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā mea paʻi huaʻai ma luna o ka lepo hou a nani hoʻi ma kahi kikowaena composting kaiaulu.
No ka laina lole ʻauʻau o Mara Hoffman, ua loaʻa iā ia nā ʻeke compostable zippered mai kahi hui ʻIseraʻela i kapa ʻia ʻo TIPA. Ua hōʻoia ka Composting Center e hiki ke hoʻopuehu ʻia nā ʻeke i loko o ka pā hale, ʻo ia hoʻi inā ʻoe e hoʻokomo i loko o ka puʻu compost, e pau ia ma lalo o 180 mau lā. ke kauoha pū me lākou. Me ke kōkua ʻana o ka CFDA, ua hui pū kekahi mau hōʻailona ʻē aʻe i nā ʻeke. Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Stella McCartney i ka makahiki 2017 e hoʻololi pū lākou i nā ʻeke compostable a TIPA.
Hoʻokahi makahiki ka mālama ʻana o nā ʻeke a ʻelua ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumukūʻai ma mua o nā ʻeke plastik.
Inā nīnau ʻoe i nā mea kūʻai aku, ʻōlelo ka hapalua iā ʻoe e uku nui lākou no nā huahana hoʻomau, a ʻo ka hapalua e haʻi iā ʻoe e nānā lākou i ka ʻeke huahana ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana e hōʻoia i ka hoʻokō ʻana o nā brands i ka hopena maikaʻi i ka pilikanaka a me ke kaiapuni.
ʻO ka hui ma Seed, kahi hui ʻepekema microbiome e kūʻai aku ana i ka hui pū ʻana o nā probiotics a me nā prebiotics, hoʻokahi makahiki i ka noiʻi ʻana e ʻike i kahi ʻeke hoʻomau e hiki ke hoʻouna i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā hoʻopiha hou ʻana i kēlā me kēia mahina." bio-based raw materials, in the non-GMO American grown cornstarch foam-filled mail. "Ua uku mākou i ka uku no ka hoʻopili ʻana, akā ua makemake mākou e hana i kēlā ʻālana," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia.
Ke nānā aku nei ʻo Patagonia i nā ʻeke bio-based a i ʻole compostable, akā ʻo kā lākou pilikia nui, ʻo ka mea kūʻai aku a me nā limahana e hoʻokomo i nā huahana plastic compostable i loko o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka plastik maʻamau.
No laila ua hoʻoholo lākou e hoʻohana i nā ʻeke plastik i hana ʻia mai nā mea hana hou. (ʻO ka ʻoi aku o ka hana hou ʻana o ka ʻeke, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka waiū. ʻOi aku ka nui.) “Ua hoʻāʻo mākou i nā ʻeke a pau e hōʻoia i ka loaʻa ʻole o nā mea ʻē aʻe e hiki ai ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ka ʻeke a i ʻole nā ​​​​haehae. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻaʻole e kiʻekiʻe loa ke kumukūʻai. Pono lākou e noi i kā lākou mau hale hana 80+ - ʻo ia mau mea a pau no nā hōʻailona lehulehu - e kauoha i kēia mau ʻeke plastik no lākou.
E hoʻomaka ana me ka hōʻiliʻili Spring 2019, e loaʻa ana i nā hale kūʻai a me nā pūnaewele i ka lā 1 Pepeluali, loaʻa nā ʻeke plastik āpau ma waena o 20% a me 50% i hōʻoia ʻia ma hope o ka mea kūʻai aku recyclable content.
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole kēia he hopena no nā hui meaʻai. Ua pāpā ka FDA i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻeke meaʻai plastik me ka mea i hana hou ʻia ke ʻole ka ʻae kūikawā o nā hui.
ʻO ka ʻoihana lole waho holoʻokoʻa, e lawelawe ana i nā mea kūʻai aku e pili ana i ka ʻōpala plastik, ua hoʻāʻo ʻia me nā ʻeke.
