ʻOiai ua hoʻohiki nā mea nani nani i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka ʻōpala ʻōpala, lohi mau ka holomua me ka 151bn mau ʻāpana o nā ʻāpana nani i hana ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Eia ke kumu i ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka pilikia ma mua o kou manaʻo, a pehea mākou e hoʻoponopono ai i ka pilikia.

ʻEhia ka nui o ka ʻeke i loko o kāu keʻena lumi lumi lumi? ʻOi aku paha, e noʻonoʻo ana i kahi ʻāpana 151bn ʻoi loa - ʻo ka hapa nui o ka plastic - i hana ʻia e ka ʻoihana nani i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e like me ka noiʻi mākeke Euromonitor. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, paʻakikī loa ka hapa nui o ia pūʻulu i ka hana hou ʻana, a ʻaʻole hiki ke hana hou ʻia.

"ʻAʻole i hoʻolālā maoli ʻia ka nui o nā ʻeke nani e hele i kahi kaʻina hana hou," wahi a Sara Wingstrand, ka luna papahana o ka Ellen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy initiative, haʻi iā Vogue. "Ua hana ʻia kekahi ʻeke mai nā mea i loaʻa ʻole kahi kahawai recycling, no laila e hele wale i ka pae ʻāina."

Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā ʻoihana nani nui e hoʻoponopono i ka pilikia plastik o ka ʻoihana.

Ua hoʻohiki ʻo L'Oréal e hoʻolilo i ka 100 pākēneka o kāna ʻeke pepa i hiki ke hana hou ʻia a i ʻole bio-based i ka makahiki 2030. Ua hoʻohiki ʻo Unilever, Coty a me Beiersdorf e hōʻoia i ka hoʻohana hou ʻia ʻana, hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia, hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia, a i ʻole compostable i ka makahiki 2025. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana e hōʻoia i ka liʻiliʻi he 75 pākēneka o kāna ʻeke e hiki ke hana hou, hoʻopiha hou, hoʻohana hou ʻia, hana hou a hoʻihoʻi hou ʻia i ka hopena o 2025.

Eia nō naʻe, lohi mau ka holomua, ʻoiai ʻo 8.3bn tonnes o ka plastic i loaʻa i ka petroleum i hana ʻia a hiki i kēia lā - 60 pākēneka o ka pau ʻana i ka pae ʻāina a i ʻole ke kaiapuni kūlohelohe. "Inā mākou e hoʻokiʻekiʻe maoli i ka pae makemake i ka hoʻopau ʻana, hoʻohana hou a hoʻohana hou ʻia [o ka pale nani], hiki iā mākou ke holomua maoli a hoʻomaikaʻi nui i ka wā e hiki mai ana mākou," wahi a Wingstrand.

Nā pilikia o ka hana hou ʻana
I kēia manawa, ʻo ka 14 pākēneka wale nō o nā ʻeke plastik a pau i hōʻiliʻili ʻia no ka hana hou ʻana ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa - a he 5 pākēneka wale nō o ia mea i hoʻohana hou ʻia, ma muli o nā poho i ka wā o ke kaʻina ʻana a me ka hana hou ʻana. Hele pinepine mai ka pale nani me nā pilikia hou aʻe. "ʻO ka nui o ka ʻeke ka hui ʻana o nā ʻano mea like ʻole e paʻakikī i ka hana hou ʻana," wehewehe ʻo Wingstrand, me nā pamu - hana maʻamau me ka hui ʻana o nā plastics a me kahi puna alumini - he kumu hoʻohālike. "He liʻiliʻi loa kekahi puʻupuʻu no ka lawe ʻia ʻana o nā mea i ke kaʻina hana hou."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo REN Clean Skincare CEO ʻo Arnaud Meysselle, ʻaʻohe hopena maʻalahi no nā hui nani, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka ʻokoʻa o nā hale hana hou a puni ka honua. "Eia naʻe, ʻoiai inā hiki ke hana hou ʻia ʻoe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi loa he 50 pākēneka o ka manawa e hana hou ʻia," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia ma kahi kelepona Zoom ma Lākana. ʻO ia ke kumu i hoʻololi ai ka brand i kona manaʻo mai ka recyclability a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka plastic recycled no kāna ʻeke, "no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe e hana i ka plastic puʻupaʻa hou."

Eia naʻe, ua lilo ʻo REN Clean Skincare i ka inoa nani mua e hoʻohana i ka ʻenehana Infinity Recycling hou no kāna huahana hero, ʻo ka Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream, ʻo ia hoʻi, hiki ke hana hou ʻia ka pahu me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wela a me ke kaomi. "He plastik ia, ʻo ia ka 95 pākēneka i hana hou ʻia, me nā kikoʻī like a me ke ʻano o ka plastik puʻupaʻa hou," wehewehe ʻo Meysselle. "A ma luna o kēlā, hiki ke hana hou ʻia me ka pau ʻole." I kēia manawa, hiki ke hana hou ʻia ka hapa nui o ka plastic i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ke hilinaʻi mau nei nā ʻenehana e like me Infinity Recycling i ka ʻeke e hoʻopau maoli i nā hale kūpono i mea e hana hou ʻia. Ua lawe ʻo Kiehl's i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i ko lākou mau lima ponoʻī ma o nā papahana hana hou i loko o ka hale kūʻai. "Mahalo i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku, ua hana hou mākou ma luna o 11.2m huahana ma ka honua mai 2009, a ua kūpaʻa mākou e hana hou i 11m hou aʻe ma 2025," wahi a Kiehl ka pelekikena honua ʻo Leonardo Chavez, ma o ka leka uila mai New York.

Hiki ke kōkua i nā loli ola maʻalahi, e like me ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi pahu hana hou i loko o kou lumipaku. "ʻO ka maʻamau ka poʻe i hoʻokahi bin i loko o ka lumi ʻauʻau e waiho ai i nā mea āpau," wahi a Meysselle. "He mea nui iā mākou ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hana hou i ka poʻe i loko o ka lumi lumi."

Ke neʻe nei i kahi wā e hiki mai ana

Ke neʻe nei i kahi wā e hiki mai ana
Ke noʻonoʻo nei i nā pilikia o ka hana hou ʻana, he mea koʻikoʻi ia ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia ʻo ia wale nō ka hopena i ka pilikia ʻōpala o ka ʻoihana nani. Pili ia i nā mea ʻē aʻe e like me ke aniani a me ka alumini, a me ka plastic. "ʻAʻole pono mākou e hilinaʻi wale i ka hana hou ʻana i ko mākou ala i waho [mai ka pilikia]," wahi a Wingstrand.

ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā plastik bio-based, i hana ʻia mai loko mai o ke kō a me ka cornstarch, ʻoiai ke wehewehe pinepine ʻia he biodegradable. “ʻAʻohe wehewehe maʻamau ka 'Biodegradable'; ʻo ia wale nō ke ʻano o ka manawa, ma lalo o kekahi mau kūlana, [e wāwahi ʻia kāu ʻeke," wahi a Wingstrand. "ʻO ka 'Compostable' ke kuhikuhi nei i nā kūlana, akā ʻaʻole e hoʻohaʻahaʻa nā plastic compostable i nā kaiapuni āpau, no laila hiki ke noho a puni no ka manawa lōʻihi. Pono mākou e noʻonoʻo i ka ʻōnaehana holoʻokoʻa. "

ʻO ke ʻano o kēia mau mea, ʻo ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ʻōpala inā hiki - ka mea e hōʻemi ai i ka pono o ka hana hou ʻana a me ka compost i ka mua - he ʻāpana nui o ka puzzle. “ʻO ka lawe wale ʻana i ka ʻili i hoʻopili ʻia a puni ka pahu ʻala he kumu hoʻohālike maikaʻi; He pilikia ʻaʻole ʻoe e hana inā e wehe ʻoe i kēlā," wehewehe ʻo Wingstrand.

ʻO ka hoʻohana hou ʻana i ka pāpaʻi he hopena ʻē aʻe, me nā mea hoʻopiha hou - kahi e mālama ai ʻoe i ka ʻeke o waho, a kūʻai i ka huahana i komo i loko i ka wā i pau ai ʻoe i waho - i manaʻo nui ʻia e like me ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ʻeke nani. "Ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, ua ʻike mākou i kā mākou ʻoihana e hoʻomaka i ka manaʻo o ka hoʻopiha hou ʻana i nā huahana, e pili ana i ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi," wahi a Chavez. "He manaʻo nui kēia no mākou."

ʻO ka pilikia? Nui nā hoʻopiha hou i kēia manawa i loko o nā ʻeke, ʻaʻole hiki ke hana hou ʻia. "Pono ʻoe e hōʻoia i ka hana ʻana i kahi hopena hoʻopihapiha, ʻaʻole ʻoe e hana i ka hoʻopiha hou ʻana i ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka recyclable ma mua o ka waihona mua," wahi a Wingstrand. "No laila e pili ana i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i nā mea āpau i ke ala holoʻokoʻa."

ʻO ka mea maopopo, ʻaʻole e loaʻa kahi pōkā kālā e hoʻonā i ka pilikia. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, hiki iā mākou nā mea kūʻai aku ke kōkua i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka hoʻololi ʻana ma o ke koi ʻana i ka ʻeke eco-friendly, no ka mea e koi aku i nā ʻoihana hou aʻe e hoʻopukapuka i nā hopena hou. “He mea kupaianaha ka pane o ka mea kūʻai; ke ulu nei mākou e like me ka hoʻomaka ʻana mai ka wā i hoʻomaka ai mākou i kā mākou mau papahana hoʻomau," wahi a Meysselle, me ka hoʻohui ʻana he pono e kau nā mea hōʻailona a pau ma luna o ka moku no ka hoʻokō ʻana i kahi wā e hiki mai ana. “ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke lanakila iā mākou iho; e pili ana i ka lanakila pū.
