ʻO ke kī ka mea inu nui loa ma hope o ka wai a he mea nui ia o ka ʻai a ka poʻe no nā kenekulia. Ua alakaʻi ka kaulana o ke kī i ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ke koi no ka ʻōpala kī. Ua loli ka ʻōpala kī i nā makahiki, mai nā lau kī wehe a i nā ʻeke kī. I ka wā mua, ua hana ʻia nā ʻeke kī mai nā mea palaho ʻole e like me ka nylon a me ka polyester, akā me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike i ke ola kaiapuni, ke ʻimi nei nā mea kūʻai aku i nā koho ʻeke kī aloha kaiapuni. Ke lilo nei nā ʻeke kī palaho ʻole i hana ʻia me nā ʻeke kānana kī, ka pepa kānana, nā ʻeke kī PLA mesh a me nā ʻeke kī PLA i ulana ʻole ʻia i mea kaulana.

He ʻeke lahilahi a moakāka nā ʻeke kānana kī i hana ʻia mai ka hui ʻana o ka pepa kānana kiʻekiʻe a me ka polypropylene papa meaʻai. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia lākou e paʻa i nā lau kī wehe a hoʻomaʻalahi i ka hana ʻana i ke kī. He kūpono, makepono a maʻalahi hoʻi ke loaʻa. Palekana nō hoʻi lākou no ke kaiapuni a me ke olakino kanaka, e lilo ana lākou i koho kaulana no ka poʻe aloha kī.

Pepa kānana, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he ʻano pepa lapaʻau ia i hoʻohana nui ʻia ma nā wahi hoʻokolohua. Loaʻa iā ia nā waiwai kānana maikaʻi loa a kūpono no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻeke kī. ʻO ka pepa kānana i hoʻohana ʻia no nā ʻeke kī ua mālama ʻia i ka papa meaʻai a hiki ke kū i nā mahana a hiki i 100 degere Celsius. ʻO kēia ka mea kūpono no ka hana ʻana i ke kī me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopilikia ʻana i ka maikaʻi o ka hui ʻana a i ʻole ke olakino o ka mea kūʻai.

Nā ʻeke kī PLA meshHana ʻia mai kahi mea kanu hou i kapa ʻia ʻo polylactic acid (PLA). He koho biodegradable lākou i nā ʻeke kī nylon kuʻuna a i ʻole PET. Loaʻa ka PLA mai ka palaoa kulina, ke kō kō a i ʻole ka palaoa ʻuala, e lilo ia i mea pili i ke kaiapuni a hiki ke hoʻohuihui ʻia. Hana ka mea mesh PLA e like me kahi ʻeke kānana kī no ka hana ʻana i ke kī me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopilikia maikaʻi ʻole i ka ʻono a i ʻole ka maikaʻi o ke kī.

ʻO ka hope loa,Nā ʻeke kī PLA i ulana ʻole ʻiaHana ʻia hoʻi mai ka waikawa polylactic (PLA), akā hele mai lākou i loko o kahi pepa i ulana ʻole ʻia. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia lākou e pani i nā ʻeke kī kuʻuna i hana ʻia me nā mea palaho ʻole. He koho maikaʻi loa nā ʻeke kī i ulana ʻole ʻia ʻo PLA no kekahi mea e hopohopo nei e pili ana i ke kaiapuni no ka mea e pala maoli lākou i loko o 180 mau lā a ʻaʻole ia e hāʻawi i ka haumia plastik.

I ka hopena, ʻo nā ʻeke kī palaho i hana ʻia me nā ʻeke kānana kī, pepa kānana, nā ʻeke kī PLA mesh a me nā ʻeke kī PLA i ulana ʻole ʻia nā mea e hiki mai ana o ka ʻōpala kī. ʻAʻole lākou he launa wale nō i ke kaiapuni, akā palekana a maʻalahi hoʻi no nā mea kūʻai. ʻAʻole hoʻi e hoʻopilikia kēia mau ʻeke kī i ka maikaʻi a i ʻole ka ʻono o kāu hui kī, e lilo ana lākou i koho maikaʻi loa no ka poʻe aloha kī. No laila, inā makemake ʻoe e hauʻoli i kāu kī a hoʻēmi i kou kapuaʻi kalapona, e koho i nā ʻeke kī palaho biodegradable ma ke ʻano he mau ʻeke kī āu e hele ai.
