Kungani I-Sustainable Bagasse Packaging

Ingabe Ikusasa Lomkhakha Wokulethwa Kokudla?

Ukusimama akuseyona nje i-buzzword ephonswayo—ukucatshangelwa kwansuku zonke kunoma ubani osembonini yokudla.

Wngena esitolo, skrola ohlelweni lokusebenza lokuletha ukudla, noma xoxa nomuntu ophakelayo, futhi uzozwa ukukhathazeka okufanayo: indlela yokunciphisa udoti wepulasitiki ngaphandle kokudela ukusebenza. Lokhu kushintsha akukona nje ukuzizwa kahle ngeplanethi; imayelana nokuhlangabezana nokulindelwe ngamakhasimende abhekisisa ukuthi ukudla kwawo (kanye nokupakishwa kwakho) kuvela kuphi. Ngenaukupakishwa kwe-bagasse okusimeme kokulethwa kokudla-isixazululo esishintsha buthule indlela esikuthola ngayo ukudla, ukulinganisa ukuqina, ubungane bemvelo, kanye nokusetshenziswa komhlaba wangempela.

At MVI ECOPACK, sichithe iminyaka senza lokhu okubalulekile ngoba sikholelwa ukuthi imikhiqizo esimeme akufanele izwakale njengokuyekethisa.

Kungani Ukulethwa Kokudla Kukhipha Ipulasitiki Yezinye Izindlela Ezisimeme

Mukulethwa kwe-eal sekuyinsakavukela yempilo yesimanje—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umzali omatasatasa odla isidlo sakusihlwa ngemva komsebenzi, umfundi o-oda ukudla kwasemini phakathi kwamakilasi, noma iqembu elikhipha imali ngobusuku befilimu. Kodwa lokhu lula kunezindleko eziphakeme zemvelo.I-Ellen MacArthur Foundationilinganisela ukuthi i-oda elilodwa lokulethwa kokudla lingakhiqiza kufikela5 kgyemfucuza yepulasitiki, kusukela esitsheni esiphethe ukudla kuya kumaphakethe amasoso amancane. Iningi lala pulasitiki ligcina selisendaweni yokulahla imfucumfucu, lapho kungathatha iminyaka engu-500 noma ngaphezulu ukubhidlika, noma olwandle, kulimaze izilwane zasolwandle. Kuyinkinga okunzima ukuyiziba—futhi abathengi sebeqala ukufuna okungcono.

Rama-egulator nawo ayangena. I-EU's Single-Use Plastics Directive isivele ivimbe izinto ezifana nezitsha zepulasitiki neziqukathi ezinegwebu, nezijeziso eziqinile zamabhizinisi angathobeli. E-US, amadolobha afana ne-Seattle afake izimali kumapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye, kuyilapho i-Canada izibophezele ekuqedeni amapulasitiki amaningi angaphinde asetshenziswe ngo-2030. Kodwa ukucindezela kwangempela kuvela kubantu bansuku zonke. Inhlolovo yango-2024 yakwaNielsen yathola ukuthi u-78% wabathengi base-Europe kanye nama-72% abantu baseMelika bazokhokha imali eyengeziwe ngokudla okulethwe emaphaketheni okusimeme—futhi abangama-60% bathi bazoyeka uku-oda umkhiqizo othembele kakhulu kupulasitiki. Kubanikazi besitolo, abaphathi bezindawo zokudlela, nezinsiza zokuletha, lokhu akuwona nje umkhuba ongawulandela; kuyindlela yokugcina amakhasimende abo ejabule futhi amabhizinisi abo ahambisana.

Iyini i-Bagasse? “Udoti” Owukuba Iqhawe Lokusimama

Iuma uke wajabulela ingilazi yesiphuzo sikamoba, uke wahlangana ne-bagasse—ngisho noma ubungalazi igama layo. I-fibrous, i-pulp eyomile eshiywe ngemuva kokuba umoba ucindezelwe ukuze ukhiphe uketshezi lwawo olumnandi. Kwaphela amashumi eminyaka izigayo zikashukela zingawusebenzisi; babeyishisa ukuze bakhiqize amandla ashibhile (okwadala ukungcoliswa komoya) noma bawalahle ezindaweni zokulahla imfucumfucu. Kodwa eminyakeni eyi-10 edlule, abasunguli bezinto ezintsha baye baqaphela ukuthi le "mfucumfucu" inamandla amakhulu. Namuhla, i-bagasse iyinto eyinhloko yohlu lweukupakishwa kwe-bagasse okusimeme kokulethwa kokudla, kanye neziqinisekiso zayo ze-eco kunzima ukwehlula.

Okokuqala, ivuseleleka ngo-100%. Umoba ukhula ngokushesha—izinhlobo eziningi zivuthwa ezinyangeni ezingu-12 kuya kwezingu-18—futhi uyisitshalo esinganakekelwa kahle esidinga izibulala-zinambuzane noma umanyolo omncane. Njengoba i-bagasse ingumkhiqizo, asisebenzisi umhlaba owengeziwe, amanzi, noma izinsiza ukuze siyikhiqize; sisebenzisa nje into ebingamoshakala. Okwesibili, i-biodegradable ngokugcwele. Ngokungafani nepulasitiki, ehlala emvelweni amakhulu eminyaka, noma igwebu, elingabhidliki ngempela, ukupakishwa kwe-bagasse kubola ezinsukwini ezingama-90 kuya kweziyi-180 ezindaweni zokuthengisa umquba. Ngisho nasezingqungqutheleni zomquba wasekhaya, uphuka ngokushesha, ushiye umhlabathi onothile ngezakhi ezondla izitshalo. Uyindilinga ephelele: wona kanye umhlaba otshala umoba wondleka ngokupakishwa owenziwe nge-pulp yawo.

Izindlela Ezi-4 Zokufaka I-Bagasse Ixazulula Ikhanda Elibuhlungu Kunawo Wonke Lokulethwa Kokudla

BI-eco-friendly inhle—kodwa ekufakweni kokudla, kufanele isebenze emhlabeni wangempela. Akekho ofuna isitsha esivuza isobho emotweni yonke, noma ipuleti eliwela ngaphansi kocezu lwe-pizza. Into engcono kakhulu nge-bagasse ukuthi ayikuphoqi ukuthi ukhethe phakathi kokusimama nokusebenza. Iqinile, iguquguquka, futhi yakhelwe ukuthi abantu basebenzisa kanjani ukulethwa kokudla.

1. Iqinile Kwanele Ngisho Nokulethwa Okubi Kakhulu

Ukulethwa kokudla kunesiphithiphithi. Amaphakheji aphonswa kobhasikidi bamabhayisikili, ahlanganiswe ezigxotsheni zezimoto, futhi apakishwe ngaphansi kwezinto ezisindayo. Isakhiwo se-Bagasse esine-fibrous siyenza iqine ngendlela emangalisayo—iqine kunephepha, futhi iqhathaniswe namapulasitiki athile. Ingakwazi ukumelana nezinga lokushisa ukusuka ku -20°C (ilungele uphudingi oqandisiwe) kuya ku-120°C (ilungele ukheri oshisayo noma amasemishi athosiwe) ngaphandle kokungqubuzana noma ukuncibilika. Ngokungafani neziqukathi zephepha, ayiguquki i-soggy uma ithinta isoso noma i-condensation. Sizwile ngabanikazi bezindawo zokudlela abashintshele ku-bagasse babona izikhalazo mayelana “nokulethwa okungcolile” kwehle ngo-30%—futhi lokho akulungile nje emvelweni; ilungele ukwaneliseka kwamakhasimende. Cabanga ngesitsha sesobho senoodle sifika sishisa, siqinile, futhi singavuzisi kanye—yilokho okulethwa yi-bagasse.

2. Ukuthobela Imithetho—Akusekho Ikhanda Lekhanda Elilawulayo

Ukuhambisana nemithetho yokupakisha kungazwakala njengomsebenzi wesikhathi esigcwele. Inyanga eyodwa idolobha livala igwebu, okulandelayo i-EU ibuyekeza izindinganiso zayo zokuvundisa. Ubuhle beukupakishwa kwe-bagasse okusimeme kokulethwa kokudlaukuthi yakhelwe ukuhlangabezana nale mithetho kusukela ekuqaleni. Ithobelana ngokugcwele ne-EU's Single-Use Plastics Directive, egunyazwe i-FDA ukuthintana ngqo nokudla e-US, futhi ihlangabezana nezindinganiso zomhlaba wonke zokuvundisa njenge-ASTM D6400 kanye ne-EN 13432. Lokho kusho ukuthi ngeke kusaba khona izingxabano zemizuzu yokugcina yokufaka esikhundleni sokupakisha lapho umthetho omusha uqala ukusebenza, futhi akukho bungozi bokwephulwa kwemithetho. Kubanikazi bamabhizinisi amancane asebevele benokwanele emapuletini abo, lokho kuthula kwengqondo kuyigugu.

3. Amakhasimende Ayaqaphela—Futhi Azobuya

Abathengi banamuhla abadli nje ngokunambitha kwabo—badla ngezindinganiso zabo. Ucwaningo lwango-2023 lwe-Food Marketing Institute luthole ukuthi u-65% wabantu kungenzeka ukuthi ba-ode endaweni yokudlela esebenzisa ukupakishwa okusimeme, kanti u-58% uzoncoma leyo ndawo kubangani nomndeni. I-Bagasse inokubukeka okungokwemvelo, okusemhlabeni okubonisa ukuthi "i-eco-friendly" ngaphandle kokuzwakala ngakho. Sike sasebenza nebhikawozi ePortland eyaqala ukusebenzisa amabhokisi e-bagasse ekwenzeni amakhekhe awo futhi sengeza nencwajana encane ebhokisini: “Lesi sitsha senziwe nge-pulp yomoba—umquba uma usuqedile.” Phakathi nezinyanga ezintathu, babone amakhasimende avamile ekhuluma ngokupakishwa, futhi okuthunyelwe kwabo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana mayelana noshintsho bathole ukuthandwa nokwabelana okuningi kunanoma iyiphi iphromoshini abangayiqhuba. Akukhona nje ngokusimama; imayelana nokuxhumana namakhasimende anendaba nezinto ezifanayo ozenzayo.

4. Iyathengeka—Inganekwane Yaqanjwa

Inganekwane enkulu mayelana nokupakishwa okusimeme ukuthi kubiza kakhulu. Kodwa njengoba isidingo se-bagasse sikhulile, izinqubo zokukhiqiza sezisebenza kahle kakhulu-futhi namuhla, ziqhathaniswa nezindleko zepulasitiki noma igwebu lendabuko, ikakhulukazi uma uthenga ngamanani amakhulu. Amadolobha amaningi nezifunda zinikeza ngisho nezibonelelo zentela noma izaphulelo zamabhizinisi asebenzisa amaphakheji angaboli. Masiyihlukanise: uma isiqukathi sepulasitiki sibiza u-$0.10 sisinye futhi i-bagasse sibiza u-$0.12, kodwa inketho ye-bagasse yehlisa izikhalazo zamakhasimende (kanye nebhizinisi elilahlekile) futhi ifanelekele ukuthola ikhredithi yentela engu-5%, izibalo ziqala ukuvumela ukusimama. Sibe nomnikazi Wendawo yokudlela e-Miami esitshela ukuthi ukushintshela ku-bagasse akuzange kumkhuphule nakancane izindleko zakhe zokupakisha—uma esefake isaphulelo sendawo. Ukuzinza akudingeki ukuthi kuphule ibhange.
