Kutheni Upakisha Iibhegi Ezizinzileyo

Ngaba Ikamva Leshishini Lokuhambisa Ukutya Liya Kuphucuka?

Uzinzo alukho nje igama elidumileyo—yinto ecingelwayo imihla ngemihla kuye nabani na okwishishini lokutya.

WNgena kwikhefi, skrola usetyenziso lokuhambisa ukutya, okanye uncokole nomntu opheka ukutya, kwaye uya kuva inkxalabo efanayo: indlela yokunciphisa inkunkuma yeplastiki ngaphandle kokuncama ukusebenza. Olu tshintsho alupheleli nje ekuziveni kamnandi ngeplanethi; lumalunga nokuhlangabezana nolindelo lwabathengi abanikela ingqalelo engakumbi apho ukutya kwabo (kunye nokupakishwa kwako) kuvela khona. Ngenaukupakisha iibhegi ezizinzileyo zokuhambisa ukutya—isisombululo esitshintsha ngokuthe cwaka indlela esifumana ngayo ukutya kwethu, silinganisela ukuqina, ulwalamano oluhle nokusingqongileyo, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwehlabathi lokwenyani.

At I-MVI ECOPACK, sichithe iminyaka siphucula le nto kuba sikholelwa ukuba iimveliso ezizinzileyo akufuneki zivakale ngathi ziyavumelana.

Kutheni Ukuhanjiswa Kokutya Kukutyeshela Iplastiki Ukuze Kufumaneke Ezinye Iindlela Ezizinzileyo

MUkuhanjiswa kwempahla kube yinto eqhelekileyo kubomi banamhlanje—nokuba ngumzali oxakekileyo othatha isidlo sangokuhlwa emva komsebenzi, umfundi o-odola isidlo sasemini phakathi kweeklasi, okanye iqela elithatha ukutya ukuze liye kubukela iimuvi ebusuku. Kodwa olu ncedo luneendleko eziphezulu zokusingqongileyo.Isiseko se-Ellen MacArthuriqikelela ukuba i-odolo enye yokuhanjiswa kokutya inokwenza ukuya kuthi gaIikhilogram ezi-5yenkunkuma yeplastiki, ukusuka kwisikhongozeli esiphethe ukutya ukuya kwiipakethi ezincinci zesosi. Uninzi lwale plastiki luphelela kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma, apho kungathatha iminyaka engama-500 nangaphezulu ukuba ibole, okanye kwiilwandle, yonakalise ubomi baselwandle. Yingxaki enzima ukuyityeshela—kwaye abathengi baqala ukufuna okungcono.

RIi-egulators nazo ziyangenelela. Umyalelo we-EU we-Single-Use Plastics Directive sele uthintele izinto ezifana nezixhobo zeplastiki kunye nezikhongozeli ze-foam, kunye nezohlwayo eziqatha kumashishini angathobeliyo. E-US, izixeko ezifana neSeattle zibeke imirhumo kwiiplastiki ezisetyenziswa kanye, ngelixa iKhanada izibophelele ekupheliseni uninzi lweeplastiki ezingaphinde zisetyenziswe ngo-2030. Kodwa umfutho wokwenyani uvela kubantu bemihla ngemihla. Uphando lwe-Nielsen luka-2024 lufumanise ukuba ama-78% abathengi baseYurophu kunye nama-72% aseMelika angahlawula imali eyongezelelweyo ngokutya okuziswa kwiipakethe ezizinzileyo—kwaye ama-60% athi aza kuyeka uku-odola kwibhrendi exhomekeke kakhulu kwiplastiki. Kubanini beekhefi, abaphathi beevenkile zokutyela, kunye neenkonzo zokuhambisa, oku akusiyo nje into ekufuneka ilandelwe; yindlela yokugcina abathengi babo bonwabile kwaye amashishini abo efanelekile.

Yintoni iBagasse? “Inkunkuma” Eba Yiqhawe Lokuzinza

IUkuba ukhe wayonwabela iglasi yejusi entsha yomoba, ukhe wadibana ne-bagasse—nokuba ubungalazi igama layo. Yi-pulp ene-fibrous, eyomileyo eseleyo emva kokuba ummoba ucinezelwe ukuze kukhutshwe ulwelo lwayo olumnandi. Kangangamashumi eminyaka, iifektri zeswekile bezingenamsebenzi kuyo; beziyitshisa ukuze zivelise amandla angabizi kakhulu (okwadala ungcoliseko lomoya) okanye ziyilahle kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma. Kodwa kwiminyaka eli-10 edlulileyo, abavelisi bezinto ezintsha baye baqonda ukuba le “nkunkuma” inamandla amangalisayo. Namhlanje, i-bagasse yeyona nto iphambili kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zezinto ezahlukeneyo.ukupakisha iibhegi ezizinzileyo zokuhambisa ukutya, kwaye iziqinisekiso zayo zemvelo kunzima ukuzigqitha.

Okokuqala, ivuseleleka ngokupheleleyo. Iswekile ikhula ngokukhawuleza—uninzi lweentlobo luvuthwa kwiinyanga ezili-12 ukuya kwezili-18—kwaye sisityalo esingadingi nyango luninzi esifuna izibulali-zinambuzane okanye izichumisi ezincinci. Ekubeni i-bagasse iyimveliso engasemva, asisebenzisi umhlaba, amanzi, okanye izixhobo ezongezelelweyo ukuyivelisa; sisebenzisa nje into ebinokuchithwa ngenye indlela. Okwesibini, inokubola ngokupheleleyo. Ngokungafaniyo neplastiki, ehlala kwindawo engqongileyo kangangeenkulungwane, okanye i-foam, engasoze yonakale ngokwenene, ukupakisha i-bagasse kubola kwiintsuku ezingama-90 ukuya kwezili-180 kwiindawo zorhwebo zomgquba. Kwanakwiinqwaba ze-compost zasekhaya, yonakala ngokukhawuleza, ishiya umhlaba otyebileyo wezondlo owondla izityalo. Yisangqa esigqibeleleyo: umhlaba ofanayo okhulisa umgquba wondliwa yipakeji eyenziwe nge-pulp yawo.

Iindlela ezi-4 zokuPakisha iiBhagasse ezisombulula iintlungu ezinkulu zokuhanjiswa kokutya

BUkugcina ukutya kucocekile kulungile—kodwa xa kupakishwa ukutya, kufuneka kusebenze kwihlabathi lokwenyani. Akukho mntu ufuna isitya esivuza isuphu yonke imoto, okanye isitya esiwa phantsi kwesilayi sepizza. Eyona nto ilungileyo malunga ne-bagasse kukuba ayikunyanzeli ukuba ukhethe phakathi kokuzinza nokusebenza. Inzima, inokuguquguquka, kwaye yenzelwe indlela abantu abasebenzisa ngayo ukuhanjiswa kokutya.

1. Yomelele Kwanele Nokuba Kuhanjiswa Kanzima Kakhulu

Ukuhanjiswa kokutya kuyaphithizela. Iipakethe zifakwa kwiibhaskithi zeebhayisekile, zifakwe kwiitraki zeemoto, kwaye zibekwe phantsi kwezinto ezinzima. Ulwakhiwo lweBagasse olunemicu luyenza ibe namandla ngendlela emangalisayo—iqine kunephepha, kwaye ifane nezinye iiplastiki. Ingamelana namaqondo obushushu ukusuka kwi -20°C (ifanelekile kwiidizethi eziqandisiweyo) ukuya kwi-120°C (ifanelekile kwiikhari ezishushu okanye iisandwich eziqhotsiweyo) ngaphandle kokugoba okanye ukunyibilika. Ngokungafaniyo nezikhongozeli zephepha, ayibi manzi xa ichukumisa isosi okanye ukufuma. Sivile kubanini beekhefi abatshintshele kwi-bagasse baza babona izikhalazo malunga “nokuhanjiswa okungcolileyo” kwehla ngama-30%—kwaye oko akulungelanga nje kuphela okusingqongileyo; kulungile ukwanelisa abathengi. Khawuthelekelele isitya sesuphu yenoodles sifika sishushu, siphelele, kwaye singenalo nanye ivumba—yile nto inikezelwa yi-bagasse.

2. Ukuthobela imithetho—Akusekho ntlungu zibangelwa ziintloko ezilawulayo

Ukulandela imithetho yokupakisha kunokuvakala ngathi ngumsebenzi wexesha elizeleyo. Kwinyanga enye isixeko sithintela i-foam, elandelayo i-EU ihlaziya imigangatho yayo yokwenziwa komgquba. Ubuhle beukupakisha iibhegi ezizinzileyo zokuhambisa ukutyakukuba yenzelwe ukuhlangabezana nale mithetho kwasekuqaleni. Ihambelana ngokupheleleyo neSikhokelo sePlastics esiSetyenziswa ngokuSinye se-EU, esivunyiweyo yi-FDA sokunxibelelana ngokuthe ngqo nokutya e-US, kwaye ihlangabezana nemigangatho yehlabathi yokudibanisa umgquba efana ne-ASTM D6400 kunye ne-EN 13432. Oko kuthetha ukuba akusekho mfuneko yokutshintsha ukupakisha ngomzuzu wokugqibela xa umthetho omtsha uqala ukusebenza, kwaye akukho mngcipheko wezohlwayo zokusebenzisa izinto ezingathobeliyo. Kubanini bamashishini amancinci abasele benazo izinto ezaneleyo, olo xolo lwengqondo alunakuthelekiswa nanto.

3. Abathengi bayaqaphela—kwaye baya kubuya

Abathengi banamhlanje abatyi nje kuphela ngeencasa zabo—batya ngexabiso labo. Uphononongo lwe-Food Marketing Institute luka-2023 lufumanise ukuba ama-65% abantu banokuthi ba-odole kwindawo yokutyela esebenzisa ukupakisha okuzinzileyo, kwaye ama-58% aya kuyincoma loo ndawo kubahlobo nakusapho. I-Bagasse inenkangeleko yendalo, yomhlaba ebonisa ukuba “inobuhlobo nendalo” ngaphandle kokuthetha kakhulu ngayo. Sisebenze nevenkile yokubhaka ePortland eyaqala ukusebenzisa iibhokisi ze-bagasse kwiipastry zayo kwaye yongeza inqaku elincinci ebhokisini: “Esi sikhongozeli senziwe nge-pulp yomoba—yifake umgquba xa ugqibile.” Kwiinyanga ezintathu, baqaphela abathengi abaqhelekileyo bekhankanya ukupakisha, kwaye izithuba zabo kwimidiya yoluntu malunga notshintsho zafumana ukuthandwa kunye nezabelo ezininzi kunayo nayiphi na intengiso ababenokuyiqhuba. Ayikuko nje ukuba nozinzo; imalunga nokunxibelelana nabathengi abakhathalele izinto ezifanayo nawe.

4. Iyafikeleleka—Intsomi Ifihliwe

Intsomi enkulu malunga nokupakishwa okuzinzileyo kukuba kubiza kakhulu. Kodwa njengoko imfuno ye-bagasse ikhula, iinkqubo zokuvelisa ziye zasebenza ngakumbi—kwaye namhlanje, ifana ngexabiso neplastiki yendabuko okanye i-foam, ingakumbi xa uthenga ngobuninzi. Izixeko ezininzi kunye namazwe amaninzi anikezela ngezibonelelo zerhafu okanye izaphulelo kumashishini asebenzisa ukupakishwa okubolayo. Masiyihlalutye le nto: ukuba isitya seplastiki sibiza i-$0.10 nganye kwaye i-bagasse enye ibiza i-$0.12, kodwa ukhetho lwe-bagasse lunciphisa izikhalazo zabathengi (kunye nokulahlekelwa lishishini) kwaye lufanelekela ikhredithi yerhafu ye-5%, izibalo ziqala ukuthanda ukuzinza. Sibe nomnini weRestaurant eMiami esixelela ukuba ukutshintshela kwi-bagasse akuzange konyuse iindleko zakhe zokupakisha kwaphela—akuba eqwalasele isaphulelo sendawo. Ukuzinza akufuneki kuphule imali.

I-Bagasse Ayisiyonto Ithandwayo Nje—Likamva Lokuhanjiswa Kokutya

AUkuhanjiswa kokutya kuyaqhubeka nokukhula, uzinzo aluyi kuba yinto yokongeza—iya kuba ngumgangatho. Abathengi baya kuyilindela, abalawuli baya kuyifuna, kwaye amashishini aqalayo kwangethuba aya kuba nethuba lokukhuphisana.Ukupakisha iibhegi ezizinzileyo zokuhambisa ukutya ijonga ibhokisi nganye: inobubele kwiplanethi, iqinile ngokwaneleyo ukuba isetyenziswe kwihlabathi lokwenyani, iyathobela imithetho, kwaye iyathandwa ngabathengi. Kwi-MVI ECOPACK, sihlala sivavanya kwaye siphucula iimveliso zethu ze-bagasse—nokuba sisikhongozeli sesuphu esingavuziyo okanye ibhokisi yeburger enokupakishwa—kuba siyazi ukuba ezona zisombululo zizinzileyo zezo zisebenza ngokulula kwindlela abantu abaphila nabatya ngayo.
