ʻEke ʻeke meaʻai sila ʻewalu ʻaoʻao i hoʻopili ʻia me ka palakiko hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia

ʻEke palakika mea hana hou ʻO nā ʻeke palakika mea hana hou, e like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, pili i nā ʻeke palakika i hana ʻia me nā mea me ka waiwai hana hou a hiki ke hana hou ʻia ma hope o ka hana hou ʻana. ʻO nā mea hana hou maʻamau i ke ola e komo pū me ka pepa, ka pepa pahu, ke aniani, ka palakika, ka metala, a pēlā aku. I waena o lākou, noʻonoʻo ka pepa a me ka pepa pahu i nā ʻano pālua o nā mea hana hou a me nā mea hana hou. He kuleana nui nā mea hana hou i ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu a me ka palekana o ke kaiapuni. Hōʻike ka ʻikepili hiki i hoʻokahi tona o ka pepa ʻōpala ke hana i 850 kilokani o ka pepa hana hou ʻia, e mālama ana i 3 mika cubic o ka lāʻau; hiki ke hana hou ʻia nā ʻōmole palakika PET i hoʻolei ʻia a hana ʻia i loko o ka hilo, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea lole i nā lako, nā kaʻa a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe. I ke kaʻina hana hana hou o nā ʻeke palakika degradable, aia ʻelua mau manaʻo maʻamau: biodegradable a compostable.
ʻO nā ʻeke palaki biodegradable e pili ana i nā mea hiki ke hoʻopau loa ʻia i nā ʻāpana kūlohelohe ma o nā ʻano hana olaola. Ua wehewehe ke kūlana EU i nā ʻeke palaki biodegradable e like me: i loko o 6 mau mahina, me ke kōkua o nā bacteria, fungi a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea ola maʻalahi ʻē aʻe, 90% o nā ʻeke palaki biodegradable hiki ke hoʻopau hope ʻia i loko o ke kalapona dioxide, ka wai a me nā minelala. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka compostable ma mua o ka biodegradable: hoʻonui i ka pono o ka biodegradation ma ka kaohi ʻana i ka haʻahaʻa, ka mahana, a me nā kaʻina hana oxidation, a koi ʻia nā mea e wāwahi ʻia i loko o nā ʻāpana ʻawaʻawa ʻole. He aloha kaiapuni ke kaʻina holoʻokoʻa. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia he pono e biodegradable nā ​​ʻeke palaki compostable, akā ʻaʻole pono e compostable nā ​​ʻeke palaki biodegradable. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā ʻōpala ʻoihana, me nā ʻeke palaki kuʻuna, he lōʻihi loa ka manawa e hoʻopau ai ma lalo o nā kūlana kūlohelohe, a lawe kekahi i nā haneli a i ʻole nā ​​​​kaukani makahiki, e hōʻino nui ana i ke kaiapuni. ʻOiai ʻo ka lāʻau a me ka pepa he mau mea ʻeke palaki biodegradable maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kaiapuni ma mua o nā ʻeke palaki kuʻuna. Wahi a nā helu helu piha ʻole, ua hāʻawi ʻia aku ma mua o 10 miliona mau mea lawe ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā ma ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa, kahi i hoʻohana ʻia ai ka nui o nā huahana ʻōpala palaki. Ke noʻonoʻo nei he ʻehā haneli mau makahiki ma ka liʻiliʻi no ka palaho ʻana o kahi ʻeke palaki kuʻuna, ke kāhea nei nā mea kūʻai aku e hoʻololi i nā ʻeke ʻōpala palaki kuʻuna me nā ʻeke palaki hou a palaho.
