I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hōʻoki ʻo Amazon i ka ʻāpana o nā waiwai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o nā pahu pahu i makemake ʻia i ka leka uila māmā, ka mea i ʻae i ka mea kūʻai nui e ʻoki i nā pūʻulu hou aʻe i loko o nā kaʻa lawe a me nā mokulele.
Akā, ʻōlelo ka poʻe hoʻolaha kaiapuni a me ka poʻe loea ʻōpala i nā ʻano hou o nā ʻeke plastik ʻaʻole hiki ke hana hou ʻia i loko o ka curbside recycling bins he hopena maikaʻi ʻole.
"He like nā pilikia o ka ʻeke o Amazon e like me nā ʻeke plastik, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i kā mākou ʻōnaehana hana hou a paʻa i nā mīkini," wahi a Lisa Se, ka luna papahana ma ka King County Solid Waste Division, nāna e mālama i ka hana hou ʻana ma King County, ʻo Washington Lisa Sepanski.
ʻO ka manawa hoʻomaha i hala aku nei ʻo ia ka mea ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī no ka e-commerce, ʻo ia hoʻi ka nui o nā hoʻouna - ka hopena i ka nui o nā ʻōpala paʻa.
ʻO ka pilikia me ka leka uila he ʻelua: pono lākou e hana hou ʻia i kēlā me kēia, a inā e pau lākou i ke kahawai maʻamau, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopau i ka ʻōnaehana hana hou a pale i nā pūʻulu mea nui mai ka hana hou ʻana.
"Ke hana ikaika nei mākou e hoʻomaikaʻi i kā mākou hōʻiliʻili a me nā koho hana hou a ua hōʻemi i ka ʻōpala o ka pōʻai honua ma mua o 20 pakeneka ma 2018," wahi a ka waha ʻōlelo Amazon ʻo Melanie Janin, me ka hoʻohui ʻana ua hāʻawi ʻo Amazon i ka ʻike recycling ma kāna pūnaewele.
Wahi a kekahi poʻe loea ʻōpala, ʻo ka pahuhopu o Amazon e hōʻemi i ka pahu pahu nui ka neʻe kūpono. He mau pōmaikaʻi ko ka leka uila no ke kaiapuni. Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā pahu, lawe lākou i ka liʻiliʻi o nā wahi i loko o nā ipu a me nā kaʻa, kahi e hoʻonui ai i ka pono o ka lawe ʻana.
He mea maʻalahi a paʻa ka paʻakai no ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā hui he nui no ka hoʻopili ʻana. ʻoihana. Akā, paʻakikī loa ke kūʻai aku i nā bale—he nui ka poʻe i hoʻouna ʻia no ka hana hou ʻana ma muli o ke koʻikoʻi o nā kānāwai ma Kina—no ka nui o nā hui hoʻoheheʻe o ke Komohana Komohana e hoʻolei iā lākou.
"I ka lilo ʻana o ka paʻakai paʻakikī a maʻalahi hoʻi, pono mākou e hana i nā mea hou aku i ka wikiwiki e hoʻohua i ka hua like. Ua lawa anei ka loaʻa kālā? ʻAʻole ka pane i kēia lā, "wahi a Pete Keller, hope pelekikena o recycling ma Republic Services. , ʻo ka hui kekahi o nā mea hoʻoneʻe ʻōpala nui loa ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
I loko o nā makahiki he 10 i hala iho nei, ua ʻoki ʻo Amazon i nā ʻōpala pono ʻole, e hoʻopili ana i nā huahana i kā lākou pahu kumu i ka wā e hiki ai, a i ʻole i ka ʻeke māmā loa.
ʻO kekahi o nā hui ʻo Fortune 500 ʻaʻole i waiho i kahi hōʻike pilikino pili a i ʻole hōʻike hoʻomau, ua ʻōlelo ka hui ʻo Seattle i kāna papahana hoʻopihapiha "hōʻeha ʻole" ua hōʻemi i ka ʻōpala ʻōpala ma 16 pākēneka a ua hoʻopau i ka pono no ka Demand no nā pahu moku ʻoi aku ma mua o 305 miliona.2017.
"I koʻu manaʻo, ʻo kā lākou neʻe ʻana i ka hoʻopili maʻalahi e alakaʻi ʻia e ke kumukūʻai a me ka hana, akā he haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa carbon footprint," wahi a Nina Goodrich, ka luna o ka Sustainable Packaging Alliance.
ʻO kekahi pilikia ʻē aʻe me ka leka uila piha i ka plastik hou, ʻo ia ka Amazon a me nā mea kūʻai aku ʻē aʻe i kau i nā lepili helu wahi pepa, i mea kūpono ʻole no ka hana hou ʻana, ʻoiai ma nā wahi hoʻokuʻu hale kūʻai.
"Hiki i nā ʻoihana ke lawe i nā mea maikaʻi a hoʻolilo iā lākou i mea hiki ʻole ke hoʻohana hou ʻia e pili ana i nā lepili, nā adhesives a i ʻole nā inika," wahi a Goodrich.
I kēia manawa, hiki ke hana hou ʻia kēia mau leka Amazon piha i ka plastik i ka wā e wehe ai nā mea kūʻai aku i ka lepili a lawe i ka leka i kahi wahi hoʻokuʻu ma waho o kekahi mau kaulahao.
Wahi a ka 2017 Closed-Loop Report on Recycling in the US, he 4 pakeneka wale nō o ka kiʻiʻoniʻoni i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i loko o nā hale o ʻAmelika e hana hou ʻia ma o nā papahana hōʻiliʻili ma nā hale kūʻai hale kūʻai a me nā hale kūʻai pahu nui.
Pono kekahi mau ʻāina i nā ʻoihana e lawe i ke kuleana kālā a me ka hoʻokele waiwai no kā lākou huahana ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā mea kūʻai aku.
No ka hoʻokō ʻana i kāna mau kuleana kānāwai, uku ʻo Amazon i kēia mau uku ma kekahi mau ʻāina ma waho o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
I loko o ka hana nui o nā kānāwai hana hou o US, ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ke aupuni pekelala ia mau koi, koe naʻe nā mea kikoʻī, ʻona a waiwai hoʻi e like me nā uila a me nā pā.
ʻO nā laka kino i mālama ʻia e Amazon no nā mea kūʻai aku e hoʻihoʻi i nā huahana hiki ke ʻae i ka ʻeke i hoʻohana ʻia, ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe loea, me ka hoʻohui ʻana e hiki iā Amazon ke hana hou i ka plastic no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wā e hiki mai ana i kāna leka uila.
"Hiki iā lākou ke hana i ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana, e hoʻihoʻi i nā mea i loko o kā lākou ʻōnaehana hoʻolaha. Ke lilo nei kēia mau helu hōʻiliʻili i mea nui loa no ka ʻoluʻolu o nā mea kūʻai aku, "wahi a Scott Cassell, ka luna nui o ka Institute for Product Management, nāna i alakaʻi i ka noiʻi. No laila ke nānā aku nei kahi ʻoihana i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hopena o ke kaiapuni o nā huahana mea kūʻai aku.
