I ka wā ma mua, ua maʻalahi ke kūʻai aku i nā ʻōpala kofe "ʻōmaʻomaʻo". Pono ʻoe e paʻi i kahi lau ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma ka pahu a kapa aku iā ia he "eco-friendly."

Ua pau kēlā mau lā.

I kēia lā, kānalua nā mea kūʻai aku i ka "greenwashing," a ke hoʻopaʻa nei nā aupuni ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i nā lula ma nā koi ʻōpala. Inā ʻoe e paʻi i ka "compostable" ma kāu mau ʻeke kofe drip me ka ʻole o ka palapala hōʻoia kūpono, hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻino i ka inoa o kou brand a hiki ke kū i nā uku.

No nā mea hoʻomoʻa a me nā lama kī, hiki ke lilo i mea ʻeha ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana me nā kūlana hōʻoia like ʻole (ASTM, EN, ISO).ʻO Tonchant, ke kū nei mākou i kēia mau kūlana i kēlā me kēia lā i ka wā e hana ana i nā mea PLA a me nā mea fiber kulina.

Aia ma lalo iho kahi alakaʻi maʻalahi e hoʻomaopopo i ke ʻano maoli o kēia mau palapala hōʻoia a me ke kumu he mea nui lākou i kāu ʻoihana.

1. ʻOkoʻa Nui: Biodegradable vs. Compostable

Ma mua o ka nānā ʻana i nā code, e wehewehe kākou i kekahi o nā kuhi hewa nui loa i ka ʻoihana.

• He huaʻōlelo maopopo ʻole ka huaʻōlelo "Biodegradable".Ma ke ʻano loea, hiki i nā mea āpau ke palaho i ka manawa kūpono (ʻoiai he mau makahiki he ʻumi ka lāʻau). Akā, ʻaʻole ia e kuhikuhipehea ka lōʻihika hōʻino ʻana a i ʻole ke ʻano o ke kaiapuni e pono ai.

• He kūlana kānāwai kūikawā ʻo "Compostable".Pili ia i kahi mea, ma lalo o nā kūlana kikoʻī a ma hope o kahi manawa kikoʻī, e palaho i loko o nā mea olaola (humus), wai, a me ke kalapona ʻokikene, e waiho anaʻaʻohe koena ʻawahia.

ʻO ke Kānāwai:E ʻimi mau"Hiki ke hoʻopōpala"palapala hōʻoia, ma mua o nā koi "biodegradable" maopopo ʻole.

2. Ke Kūlana Gula ʻEulopa: EN 13432

Inā ʻoe e kūʻai aku ana i ke kofe ma ʻEulopa, ʻo kēia ke kūlana mua e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike.

EN 13432ʻo ia ke kūlana ʻEulopa no nā mea hoʻopili i hiki ke hana hou ʻia ma o ka composting a me ka biodegradation. Pono ka pepa kānana kofe e hala i ʻehā mau hoʻāʻo koʻikoʻi e hoʻokō ai i kēia kūlana:

1. Ka palaho ʻana o ka ʻiʻo:Pono ma ka liʻiliʻi he 90% o ka mea e pala i loko o ke kalapona ʻokikene i loko o 6 mau mahina.

2. Ka hoʻopau ʻana:Ma hope o 12 mau pule, ma ka liʻiliʻi he 90% o ka mea e pono e liʻiliʻi e hele ma kahi kānana 2mm.

3. Ka Nānā Kemika:Pono e hoʻokō nā palena paʻa i ka nui o nā metala kaumaha a me ka fluorine.

4. ʻO ka ʻawahia o ka ʻāina:Pono ka hopena o ka compost e pono ai nā mea kanu (hoʻāʻo ʻia ma ke kanu ʻana i nā mea kanu i loko).

Ke kuleana o Tonchant:Ua hoʻolālā ʻia kā mākou kānana mesh PLA (polylactic acid) e hoʻokō i kēia mau kūlana koʻikoʻi, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka mālama ʻia no ka mākeke ʻEulopa.

3. Ke Kūlana ʻAmelika: ASTM D6400

Ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka ʻAkelanika, ʻo ke kūlana maʻamauASTM D6400.

Ua hoʻomohala ʻia e ka American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), uhi kēia kūlana i nā plastik i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka composting aerobic i nā hale kūlanakauhale a ʻoihana paha. Ua like loa ia me EN 13432 ma ke ʻano o ka manawa a me nā pae ʻawahia.

No ke aha he mea nui:Inā ʻoe e hoʻokuʻu aku ana i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a i ʻole Kanada, he mea nui ka hōʻoia ʻana e hoʻokō ana kāu mea hoʻolako pahu i nā kūlana ASTM no ka hōʻoia ʻana i kāu mau koi kūʻai aku.

4. ʻOihana vs. Home Composting: Ke hoʻokele nei i nā manaʻolana

ʻO kēia ke kī i ka lanakila ʻana i ka hilinaʻi o ka mea kūʻai aku ma o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.

ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kānana kope PLA a me ka fiber kulina ma ka mākeke (me kā mākou huahana)Palapala hōʻoia no ka Compostable ʻoihanaʻO ke ʻano kēia, pono lākou i nā mahana kiʻekiʻe (58°C / 136°F) a me nā kūlana microbial i kāohi ʻia i loko o nā hale kūikawā e palaho pono ai.

Inā hoʻolei kahi mea kūʻai aku i kahi ʻeke compost ʻoihana i loko o kahi ʻōpala compost anu ma ko lākou pā hale hope, hiki ke lōʻihi ka manawa e pala ai ka ʻeke.

Manaʻo kōkua no ka Brand:E akaka me kāu ʻōpala. E hoʻohana i nā ʻōlelo e like me"Hiki ke hoʻohuihui ʻia no ka ʻoihana - e kūkākūkā me kāu hale hana hoʻohuihui kūloko"ma kahi o ka manaʻo e nalowale ana ia i ka pō hoʻokahi i loko o kahi māla. E mahalo nā mea kūʻai aku i kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo.

5. No ke aha he mea nui ka Logo “OK Compost”?

E ʻike paha ʻoe i nā logos e like meʻO TÜV Austria "OK Compost Industrial"a i ʻole kaBPI (ʻAhahui Huahana Biodegradable)logo.

ʻO kēia mau meanā hōʻoia ʻaoʻao ʻekolu. Hōʻoiaʻiʻo lākou ua hala maoli ka huahana i nā hoʻokolohua hoʻokolohua o EN 13432 a i ʻole ASTM D6400.

Nā Mea Maka vs. Nā Huahana i Hoʻopau ʻia:E ʻoluʻolu e hoʻomaopopo i kekahi manawa ua hōʻoia ʻia nā mea maka (PLA resin), akā pono e hōʻoia ʻia ka mea mesh hope loa. Ma Tonchant, hōʻoia mākou mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana e hoʻohana ana kā mākou kaulahao lako i nā mea i hōʻoia ʻia a kūlike.

ʻO ka Hoʻohiki Tonchant

Ua ʻike mākou no ʻoe, ʻo ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā kānāwai ka hoʻokele pilikia.

Ke kūʻai ʻoe i nā kānana kope drip a i ʻole nā ​​ʻeke kī mai Tonchant, ʻaʻole ʻoe e kūʻai wale ana i kahi lole mesh, akā ʻo ka hōʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻi. Hiki iā mākou ke hāʻawi i nā mea e pono aiNā Pepa ʻIkepili Loea (TDS)a me nā palapala hōʻoia e kōkua iā ʻoe e hōʻike i kāu kūpaʻa i ke kūpaʻa.

ʻŌmole ʻōmaʻomaʻo—mai hahai makapo i nā ʻano hou. [Kāhea iā mā˚ou] e aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i kā mākou mau hoʻonā mea compostable i hōʻoia ʻia a noi i nā laʻana no kāu papahana aʻe.
