ʻO ke kī ka mea inu nui loa ma hope o ka wai a ua lilo ia i mea ʻai nui o nā kānaka no nā kenekulia. ʻO ka kaulana o ke kī ua alakaʻi i ka piʻi ʻana o ka noi no ka ʻeke kī. Ua hoʻololi ʻia ka ʻeke kī i nā makahiki, mai nā lau kī kī i nā ʻeke kī. Ma mua, ua hana ʻia nā ʻeke kī mai nā mea biodegradable ʻole e like me ka nylon a me ka polyester, akā me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike no ka hoʻomau ʻana o ke kaiapuni, ke ʻimi nei nā mea kūʻai aku i nā koho ʻeke kī maikaʻi. ʻO nā ʻeke kī kī biodegradable i hana ʻia i nā ʻeke kānana kī, pepa kānana, nā ʻeke kī kī PLA mesh a me nā ʻeke kī kī ʻole i ulana ʻole ʻia e lilo i mea kaulana.

ʻO nā ʻeke kānana kī he ʻeke lahilahi a maopopo i hana ʻia mai ka hui ʻana o ka pepa kānana kiʻekiʻe a me ka polypropylene meaʻai. Hoʻolālā ʻia lākou e paʻa i nā lau kī a hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka hana kī. He maʻalahi lākou, maʻalahi a hiki ke loaʻa. He palekana nō hoʻi lākou no ke kaiapuni a me ke olakino kanaka, e hoʻolilo iā lākou i koho kaulana no nā mea aloha kī.

Pepa kānana, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, he ʻano pepa lāʻau lapaʻau i hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā hoʻonohonoho keʻena. Loaʻa iā ia nā waiwai kānana maikaʻi a kūpono no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻeke kī. ʻO ka pepa kānana i hoʻohana ʻia no nā ʻeke kī i mālama ʻia i ka meaʻai a hiki ke pale i nā mahana a hiki i 100 degere Celsius. He mea maikaʻi kēia no ka hana ʻana i ke kī me ka ʻole e hoʻohaumia i ka maikaʻi o ka hui ʻana a i ʻole ke olakino o ka mea kūʻai.

PLA mesh kīʻekehana ʻia mai kahi mea kanu mea kanu hou i kapa ʻia he polylactic acid (PLA). He ʻokoʻa biodegradable lākou i nā ʻeke kī kī a PET. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka PLA mai ka mākū kulina, ke kō a i ʻole ka mākū ʻuala, e lilo ia i mea pili i ke kaiapuni a me ka compostable. Hana ʻia ka mea mesh PLA e like me ka ʻeke kānana kī no ka hana ʻana i ke kī me ka ʻole o ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka ʻono a i ʻole ka maikaʻi o ke kī.

ʻO ka hope,PLA ʻeke kī ʻole i ulana ʻiahana ʻia mai ka polylactic acid (PLA), akā hele mai lākou i loko o kahi pepa ʻaʻole i ulana ʻia. Hoʻolālā ʻia lākou e pani i nā ʻeke kī maʻamau i hana ʻia me nā mea biodegradable ʻole. He koho maikaʻi loa nā ʻeke kī kī ʻole PLA no ka poʻe hopohopo e pili ana i ke kaiapuni no ka mea e hoʻoheheʻe maoli lākou i loko o 180 mau lā a ʻaʻole kōkua i ka pollution plastic.

I ka hopena, biodegradable kīʻeke i hana ʻia i nā ʻeke kānana kī, pepa kānana, ʻeke kī kī PLA a me nā ʻeke kī kī ʻole ʻo PLA i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ʻeke kī. ʻAʻole wale lākou e pili ana i ke kaiapuni, akā palekana a maʻalahi hoʻi no nā mea kūʻai. ʻAʻole pili kēia mau ʻeke kī i ka maikaʻi a i ʻole ka ʻono o kāu hui kī, e lilo ia i koho maikaʻi loa no ka poʻe aloha kī. No laila, inā makemake ʻoe e leʻaleʻa i kāu kī a hoʻemi i kou kapuaʻi kalapona, e koho i nā ʻeke kī biodegradable e like me kāu mau ʻeke kī.
