Yayizithintelo ekusebenziseni i-styrofoam, iplastiki ekhaphukhaphu, enobungozi bokusingqongileyo, ukuthumela ifenitshala eYurophu eyabangela ukuba u-Alvin Lim atshintshe kwipakethe ezinzileyo phakathi kwe-2000s.
“Kwakungonyaka ka-2005, xa ukukhutshwa kweenkonzo zangaphandle kwakusesidlangalaleni.Ndandinamashishini aliqela, elinye lawo ibiyimveliso yefanitshala yeshishini lokudlala.Ndaxelelwa ukuba andinakukwazi ukubonelela nge-styrofoam eYurophu, kungenjalo kuya kubakho iintlawulo.Ndaqala ukukhangela ezinye iindlela, ”utshilo usomashishini waseSingapore owaseka iRyPax, inkampani eyenza ukupakishwa kwefayibha enokuphinda isetyenziswe, eboliweyo esebenzisa umdibaniso woqalo kunye nommoba.
Inyathelo lakhe lokuqala elikhulu yaba kukuguqula ishishini lewayini laseNapa Valley ukusuka kwi-styrofoam ukuya kwifayibha ezibunjiweyo eMelika.Kwinqanaba eliphezulu leqela lewayini, i-RyPax yathumela izitya zewayini ezingama-67 40ft kubavelisi bewayini.“Ishishini lewayini lalifuna ukususa i-styrofoam – zange bayithande.Sabanika enye indlela entle nengasingqongileyo,” utsho uLim.
Impumelelo yokwenyani kwishishini lakhe yeza kwiPack Expo eLas Vegas.“Sasinomdla kakhulu, kodwa kwakukho inene kwindawo yethu eyachitha imizuzu eli-15 ijonga izinto esizithengisayo.Ndandixakeke ngomnye umthengi ngoko wabeka ikhadi lakhe phezu kwetafile yethu, wathi ‘ndifowunele kwiveki ezayo’ wahamba.”Lim uyakhumbula.
Olona hlobo lusekiweyo lwe-elektroniki lwabathengi, ludume ngoyilo oluthambileyo kunye neemveliso ezinengqondo, lubonisa inkcubeko yeRyPax kunye nendlela yokuzinza.Kanye njengokuba iRyPax incede abathengi ukuba basuke kwiplastiki baye kwifayibha ebunjiweyo, abathengi baye baphefumlela iRyPax ukuba isebenzise amandla ahlaziyekayo ukunika amandla imisebenzi yayo.Ukongeza kutyalo-mali lwe-5 yezigidi zeerandi kwiipaneli zelanga kuphahla lwesityalo sayo, i-RyPax iphinde ityale i-1 yezigidi zeedola kwinkqubo yokucoca amanzi amdaka.
Kolu dliwano-ndlebe, u-Lim uthetha malunga nokutsha kuyilo lokupakisha, ubuthathaka boqoqosho lwesetyhula yaseAsia, kunye nendlela yokuqinisekisa abathengi ukuba bahlawule ngakumbi ukupakishwa okuzinzileyo.
Umnqwazi wefiber champagne cap nguJames Cropper.Ikhaphukhaphu kwaye isebenzisa izinto ezincinci.Umfanekiso: James Cropper
Umzekelo omhle yimikhono yebhotile yefiber ebunjiweyo.Iqabane lethu leqhinga, uJames Cropper, uvelisa i-100% yokupakisha ezinzileyo kwiibhotile ze-champagne zodidi.Uyilo lokupakisha lunciphisa i-carbon footprint yokupakisha;wonga indawo, zikhaphukhaphu, sebenzisa imathiriyeli ezimbalwa, kwaye awufuni bhokisi zangaphandle ezibizayo.
Omnye umzekelo ziibhotile zokusela zephepha.Omnye umthathi-nxaxheba wenza enye kwiplanga yeplastiki esebenzisa amaphepha amabini adityaniswe kunye neglue eshushu (ngoko kwakunzima ukwahlula).
Iibhotile zephepha nazo zineengxaki.Ngaba iyasebenza kwaye ilungele ukuveliswa ngobuninzi?I-RyPax ithathele ingqalelo le mingeni.Siyiqhekeze yaba ngamanyathelo.Okokuqala, sivelisa inkqubo ye-airbag esebenzisa i-aluminiyam ekhutshwa ngokulula okanye iibhotile zeplastiki ezincinci.Siyazi ukuba oku ayisiyiyo inketho esebenzayo ekuhambeni kwexesha, ke inyathelo elilandelayo esilithathayo kukwenza into enye kumzimba webhotile onolwelo olugcina ulwelo oluluqilima.Okokugqibela, inkampani yethu isebenza nzima ukuphelisa ngokupheleleyo iplastiki, nto leyo eye yasikhokelela kukhetho olutsha olubunjiweyo lwefiber screw cap.
Iingcamango ezilungileyo ziyavela kwishishini, kodwa ukwabelana ngolwazi ngundoqo.Ewe, inzuzo yenkampani kunye nenzuzo yokhuphiswano ibalulekile, kodwa ngokukhawuleza iingcamango ezilungileyo zisasazwa, ngcono.Kufuneka sijonge umfanekiso omkhulu.Nje ukuba iibhotile zephepha zifumaneke kumlinganiselo omkhulu, inani elikhulu leplastiki linokususwa kwinkqubo.
Kukho iiyantlukwano zendalo phakathi kweeplastiki kunye nezinto ezizinzileyo ezivela kwindalo.Ngaloo ndlela, izinto ezihambelana nokusingqongileyo kwezinye iimeko zisabiza kakhulu kuneeplastiki.Nangona kunjalo, itekhnoloji yoomatshini kunye nenkqubela phambili ihamba ngokukhawuleza, inyusa indleko-ukusebenza kwemveliso ngobuninzi bezinto ezihambelana nokusingqongileyo kunye nokupakishwa.
Ukongezelela, oorhulumente behlabathi jikelele babeka iirhafu zokusetyenziswa kweeplastiki, eziza kukhuthaza iinkampani ezininzi ukuba zitshintshele kwiindlela ezizinzileyo, ezinokunciphisa iindleko zizonke.
Uninzi lwezinto ezizinzileyo zivela kwindalo kwaye azinayo iipropathi zeplastiki okanye zetsimbi.Ngaloo ndlela, izinto ezihambelana nokusingqongileyo kwezinye iimeko zisabiza kakhulu kuneeplastiki.Kodwa itekhnoloji ihambela phambili ngokukhawuleza, enokuthi iqhube phantsi amaxabiso ezinto eziveliswa ngobuninzi bokusingqongileyo.Ukuba imirhumo ibekwe kwiplastiki njengendlela yokulwa nongcoliseko lweplastiki, oko kunokukhokelela iinkampani ukuba zitshintshele kwimathiriyeli enobungani nokusingqongileyo.
Iplastiki esetyenzisiweyo isoloko ibiza kakhulu kuneplastiki engekasetyenziswa ngenxa yokurisayikilishwa, iindleko zokurisayikilishwa kunye neendleko zokurisayikilishwa.Kwezinye iimeko, iphepha elisetyenzisiweyo lingabiza ngaphezulu kuneplastiki esetyenzisiweyo.Xa izinto ezizinzileyo zinokukala, okanye xa abathengi bezimisele ukwamkela utshintsho loyilo, amaxabiso anokuphakama ngenxa yokuba azinzile.
Iqala ngemfundo.Ukuba abathengi bebenolwazi olungakumbi ngomonakalo owenziwa yiplastiki kwiplanethi, baya kuba bakulungele ukuhlawula iindleko zokudala uqoqosho lwesetyhula.
Ndicinga ukuba iibrendi ezinkulu ezifana ne-Nike kunye ne-Adidas zijongana nale nto ngokusebenzisa izinto ezihlaziyiweyo kwiipakethe zabo kunye neemveliso.Injongo kukuyenza ibukeke njengoyilo oluxutyiweyo oluhlaziyiweyo olunemibala eyahlukeneyo.Iqabane lethu uJames Cropper uguqula iikomityi zekofu ezithathwayo zibe yipakethe yokunethezeka, iingxowa ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe kunye namakhadi okubulisa.Ngoku kukho ukutyhala okukhulu kweplastiki yolwandle.I-Logitech isandula ukukhupha imawusi yekhompyuter yeplastiki yaselwandle.Nje ukuba inkampani yehle ngaloo ndlela kwaye umxholo ohlaziyiweyo wamkeleka ngakumbi, ngumcimbi nje wobuhle.Ezinye iinkampani zifuna inkangeleko ekrwada, engagqitywanga, engaphezulu yendalo, ngelixa ezinye zifuna inkangeleko yeprimiyamu.Abathengi baye banyusa imfuno yokupakishwa okuzinzileyo okanye iimveliso kwaye bazimisele ukuyihlawula.
Enye imveliso efuna ukulungiswa koyilo yingubo yengubo.Kutheni le nto kufuneka babe zeplastiki?I-RyPax iphuhlisa i-hanger yefayibha ebunjiweyo ukuze iqhubeke imke kwiplastiki esetyenziswa kanye.Enye yizithambiso, ezingoyena nobangela wongcoliseko lweplastiki olusetyenziswa kanye nje.Amanye amacandelo e-lipstick, anje nge-pivot mechanism, kufuneka ihlale iplastiki, kodwa kutheni ezinye zingenakwenziwa ngefiber ebunjiweyo?
Hayi, le yingxaki enkulu ethe yavela xa i-China (2017) yayeka ukwamkela ukuthengwa kwamanye amazwe.Oku kwakhokelela ekwenyukeni kwamaxabiso ezinto eziphathekayo.Amaxabiso ezinto zesibini ekrwada nawo anyuka.Uqoqosho lobungakanani obuthile kunye nokuvuthwa kunokuhlangabezana ngenxa yokuba sele benemijelo yenkunkuma yokuphinda isetyenziswe.Kodwa amazwe amaninzi akakakulungeli kwaye kufuneka afune amanye amazwe ukuze alahle inkunkuma yawo.Thatha iSingapore njengomzekelo.Ayinasiseko kunye neshishini lokuphatha imathiriyeli esetyenzisiweyo.Ke ngoko, ithunyelwa kumazwe anjengeIndonesia, iVietnam kunye neMalaysia.La mazwe awadalelwanga ukujongana nenkcitho egqithisileyo.
Iziseko zophuhliso kufuneka zitshintshe, nto leyo ethatha ixesha, utyalo-mali kunye nenkxaso yolawulo.Ngokomzekelo, iSingapore idinga inkxaso yabathengi, ukulungela ishishini kunye nenkxaso karhulumente kumashishini afuna izisombululo ezizinzileyo zokuphuhlisa uqoqosho lwesetyhula.
Yintoni abathengi ekufuneka beyamkele kukuba kuya kubakho ixesha lotshintsho lokuzama izisombululo ezixubeneyo ezingafanelekanga ekuqaleni.Le yindlela entsha esebenza ngayo.
Ukunciphisa imfuno yokuthutha imathiriyeli ekrwada, kufuneka sifumane ezinye iindlela zasekhaya okanye zasekhaya, njengenkunkuma eveliswa ekuhlaleni.Imizekelo yoku iquka amatye okusila iswekile, wona angumthombo olungileyo wefayibha ezinzileyo, kwakunye neoli yesundu.Okwangoku, inkunkuma evela kule mizi-mveliso idla ngokutshiswa.I-RyPax ikhethe ukusebenzisa i-bamboo kunye ne-bagasse, iinketho ezikhoyo kwindawo yethu.Le yimicu ekhula ngokukhawuleza enokuvuna izihlandlo eziliqela ngonyaka, ifunxe ikharbhon ngokukhawuleza kunaso nasiphi na esinye isityalo, ize ichume kumazwe awonakeleyo.
