ʻAʻole maopopo i ke ʻano o ka leka uila maikaʻi loa no kāu brand?Eia ka mea e ʻike ai kāu ʻoihana e pili ana i ke koho ʻana ma waena o ka nossue Recycled, Kraft, aNā leka uila.

ʻO ka puʻupuʻu compostable kahi ʻano mea hoʻopihapiha e hahai ana i nā loina o ka ʻoihana pōʻai.

Ma kahi o ka 'take-make-waste' kuʻuna laina laina i hoʻohana ʻia ma ke kālepa, ua hoʻolālā ʻia ka ʻōpala compostable e hoʻolei ʻia ma ke ʻano kūpono i loaʻa ka hopena haʻahaʻa ma ka honua.

ʻOiai he mea waiwai nā ʻoihana a me nā mea kūʻai aku, aia nō kekahi mau kuhi hewa ʻole e pili ana i kēia ʻano hoʻopihapiha hoʻonaninani.

Ke noʻonoʻo nei ʻoe i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka compostable packaging i kāu ʻoihana?He uku ka ʻike e pili ana i kēia ʻano mea i hiki iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio me ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā ala kūpono e hoʻopau ai ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana.Ma kēia alakaʻi, e aʻo ʻoe:

He aha nā bioplastics
He aha nā huahana paʻi e hiki ke hoʻopuehu ʻia
Pehea e hiki ai ke hoʻopuehu ʻia ka pepa a me ka pepa
ʻO ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka biodegradable vs. compostable
Pehea e kamaʻilio ai e pili ana i nā mea compost me ka hilinaʻi.
E komo kāua!

He aha ke ʻano o ka compostable packaging?
ʻO ka puʻupuʻu compostable ka puʻupuʻu e wāwahi maoli ke waiho ʻia i ke kaiapuni kūpono.ʻAʻole e like me ka paʻi plastik maʻamau, hana ʻia ia mai nā mea kūlohelohe i wāwahi ʻia i loko o kahi manawa kūpono a waiho ʻole i nā kemika ʻona a i ʻole nā ​​​​palapala ʻino ma hope.Hiki ke hana ʻia i nā ʻano mea compostable mai ʻekolu mau ʻano mea: pepa, kāleka a i ʻole bioplastics.

E aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i nā ʻano mea hana pōʻai pōʻai (recycled a hoʻohana hou ʻia) ma aneʻi.

He aha nā bioplastics?
ʻO Bioplastics nā plastics i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka bio (hana ʻia mai kahi kumuwaiwai hou, e like me nā mea kanu), biodegradable (hiki ke wāwahi kūlohelohe) a i ʻole ka hui pū ʻana o nā mea ʻelua.Kōkua nā bioplastics e hōʻemi i ko mākou hilinaʻi ʻana i nā wahie mōʻalihaku no ka hana palaki a hiki ke hana ʻia mai ke kulina, soybeans, lāʻau, ʻaila kuke hoʻohana ʻia, algae, kō a me nā mea hou aku.ʻO kekahi o nā bioplastics maʻamau i hoʻohana ʻia i ka hoʻopili ʻana ʻo PLA.

He aha ka PLA?

Kū ka PLA no ka waika polylactic.ʻO ka PLA kahi thermoplastic compostable i loaʻa mai nā mea kanu e like me ka cornstarch a i ʻole ke kō a he carbon-neutral, edible a biodegradable.He mea ʻokoʻa maoli ia i nā wahie mōʻalihaku, akā he mea puʻupaʻa (hou) pono e lawe ʻia mai ke kaiapuni.Hoʻopau loa ʻo PLA i ka wā e wāwahi ʻia ai ma mua o ka hāʻule ʻana i loko o nā micro-plastic pōʻino.

Hana ʻia ka PLA ma o ka ulu ʻana i nā mea kanu, e like me ke kulina, a laila wāwahi ʻia i loko o ka starch, protein a me ka fiber e hana ai i ka PLA.ʻOiai he kaʻina hana hoʻopōʻino liʻiliʻi kēia ma mua o ka plastic kuʻuna, i hana ʻia ma o nā wahie mōʻalihaku, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka waiwai a ʻo kekahi o ka hoʻohewa ʻana iā PLA ʻo ia ka lawe ʻana i ka ʻāina a me nā mea kanu i hoʻohana ʻia e hānai i nā kānaka.
