Kulo nyaka uphelileyo, iAmazon iye yacutha inxalenye yempahla epakishwe kwiibhokisi zekhadibhodi ithanda iposi yeplastiki ekhaphukhaphu, evumele isigebenga esithengisayo ukuba sicinezele iipakethi ezininzi kwiilori zokuhambisa kunye neenqwelomoya.
Kodwa abakhankaseli bendalo esingqongileyo kunye neengcali zenkunkuma zithi iintlobo ezintsha zeengxowa zeplastiki ezingenako ukuphinda zisetyenziswe kwimigqomo ekwi-curbside recycling zinefuthe elibi.
"Ukupakishwa kweAmazon kuneengxaki ezifanayo neengxowa zeplastiki, ezingenakuhlehliswa kwinkqubo yethu yokurisayikilisha kwaye ibambeke koomatshini," utshilo uLisa Se, umphathi wenkqubo kwiKing County Solid Waste Division, eyongamela ukuphinda kusetyenziswe eQonce, eWashington uLisa Sepanski uthe .., apho ikomkhulu leAmazon liziko.
Ixesha leeholide zamva nje lelona lixakekileyo kurhwebo lwe-imeyile, okuthetha ukuthunyelwa okuninzi - okukhokelela kwinkunkuma eninzi yokupakisha. Njengoko iqonga elisemva kwesiqingatha sazo zonke iintengiselwano ze-e-commerce ngo-2018, iAmazon yeyona ndawo inkulu yokuthuthwa kwenkunkuma kunye nomvelisi, kunye ne-trendsetter, ngokutsho kwe-eMarketer, okuthetha ukuba ukufudukela kwayo kwi-imeyile yeplastiki kunokubonisa i-imeyile yeplastiki njenge-imeyile epheleleyo, enye imveliso yeplastiki inokubonisa i-imeyile epheleleyo. enqabile ukuphawula.
Ingxaki ngeposi yeplastiki iphindwe kabini: kufuneka ihlaziywe ngokutsha, kwaye ukuba iphelela kumjelo oqhelekileyo, inokuphazamisa inkqubo yokuphinda isetyenziswe kwaye ithintele iinyanda ezinkulu zezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo ukuba zisetyenziswe.
"Sisebenze nzima ukuphucula iindlela zethu zokupakisha kunye nokuphinda sisebenzise kwaye sinciphise inkunkuma yokupakisha yehlabathi ngaphezu kweepesenti ze-20 ngo-2018," watsho isithethi sase-Amazon uMelanie Janin, esongeza ukuba i-Amazon inikezela ngolwazi lokuphinda lusetyenziswe kwiwebhusayithi yayo. (I-Amazon CEO uJeff Bezos ungumnini weWashington Post.)
Ezinye iingcali zenkunkuma zithi injongo ye-Amazon yokunciphisa i-bulky cardboard yindlela efanelekileyo yokuhamba.I-imeyile yePlastiki ineenzuzo ezithile zokusingqongileyo.Xa kuthelekiswa neebhokisi, zithatha indawo encinci kwiibhokisi kunye neelori, eziye zandisa ukuhanjiswa kwempahla.Imveliso, ukusetyenziswa kunye nokulahlwa kwefilimu yeplastiki ikhupha iigesi ezincinci ze-greenhouse kwaye idla i-oyile encinci kunekhadibhodi ehlaziyiweyo, uthe uDavid Allawi wolawulo lwenkqubo yezinto eziphezulu ze-Environmental Management System.
Iplastiki itshiphu kakhulu kwaye ihlala ixesha elide kangangokuba iinkampani ezininzi ziyisebenzisela ukupakisha.Kodwa abathengi bathanda ukubeka iingxowa zeplastiki kumgqomo wokurisayikilisha. kushishino lokurisayikilisha.Kodwa iibhali kunzima kakhulu ukuzithengisa—ezininzi zithunyelwa ukuba zihlaziywe ngenxa yemithetho engqongqo eTshayina—kangangokuba iinkampani ezininzi ezirisayikilishwa kuNxweme lwaseNtshona kufuneka zizilahle.
"Njengoko ukupakishwa kuya kuba nzima kwaye kulula, kufuneka siqhube izinto ezininzi ngesantya esincinci ukuze sivelise isivuno esifanayo. Ngaba inzuzo yanele? Impendulo namhlanje ayikho, "utshilo uPete Keller, usekela-mongameli wokuphinda kusetyenziswe kwiiNkonzo zeRiphabhliki. , le nkampani yenye yezona zinto zinkulu ezihambisa inkunkuma eUnited States.” Ukujongana nayo yonke imihla kufuna umsebenzi onzima nowokulungisa, yaye kubiza kakhulu.”
Kule minyaka ili-10 idlulileyo, iAmazon iye yacutha ukupakisha ngokungeyomfuneko, ukupakisha iimveliso kwiibhokisi zabo zantlandlolo xa kunokwenzeka, okanye kwipakethe ekhaphukhaphu kakhulu. U-Janin waseAmazon uthe inkampani itshintshele kwii-mailers zeplastiki ezikhaphukhaphu kulo nyaka uphelileyo njengenxalenye yomzamo omkhulu wokunciphisa inkunkuma yokupakisha kunye neendleko zokusebenza. umjelo wokurisayikilisha iphepha.”
Enye yeenkampani ezimbalwa ze-Fortune ze-500 ezingafaki uxanduva lwenkampani yentlalontle okanye ingxelo yokuzinza, inkampani yase-Seattle ithi inkqubo yokupakishwa kwayo "i-Frustration-free" iye yanciphisa inkunkuma yokupakisha ngeepesenti ze-16 kwaye yaphelisa imfuno ye-Demand ngaphezu kwe-305 yezigidi zeebhokisi zokuthumela.2017.
"Ngokombono wam, ukuhamba kwabo kwipakethe eguquguqukayo kuqhutyelwa yindleko kunye nokusebenza, kodwa kunye nekhabhoni ephantsi," kusho uNina Goodrich, umlawuli we-Sustainable Packaging Alliance.Ujongene ne-logo ye-How2Recycle, eyaqala ukuvela kwi-mail yeplastiki yeplastiki yase-Amazon ngoDisemba 2017, njengenyathelo eliya kwimfundo yabathengi.
Enye ingxaki ngeposi entsha egcwele iplastiki kukuba i-Amazon kunye nabanye abathengisi bafaka iileyibhile zeedilesi zephepha, okwenza ukuba zingafanelanga ukuphinda zisetyenziswe, nakwiindawo zokulahla ivenkile.
"Iinkampani zinokuthatha izinto ezilungileyo kwaye zenze ukuba zingaphinde zisetyenziswe ngokusekelwe kwiilebula, i-adhesives okanye ii-inki," kusho uGoodrich.
Okwangoku, le imeyile ye-Amazon egcwele iplastiki inokuphinda isetyenziswe xa abathengi besusa ilebula kwaye bathathe i-imeyile kwindawo yokulahla ngaphandle kwamanye amatyathanga.Emva kokucoca, ukomisa kunye ne-polymerizing, iplastiki inokunyibilika kwaye yenziwe ibe yimithi edibeneyo yokuhombisa.Izixeko ezivala iingxowa zeplastiki, njengedolophu yase-Amazon yaseSeattle, zineendawo ezimbalwa zokulahla.
Ngokutsho kweNgxelo ye-2017 evaliweyo kwi-Recycling e-US, kuphela iipesenti ezi-4 zefilimu yeplastiki eqokelelwe kwimizi yase-US iphinda isetyenziswe kwiinkqubo zokuqokelela kwiivenkile zegrosari kunye neevenkile ezinkulu zeebhokisi.Enye i-96% ijika ibe yinkunkuma, nokuba iphonswe kwi-curbside recycling, iphelela kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma.
Amanye amazwe afuna ukuba iinkampani zithathe uxanduva olukhulu lwemali kunye nolawulo lweemveliso zazo emva kokuba abathengi bezisebenzisile. Kwezi nkqubo, iinkampani zihlawulwa ngokusekelwe kwisixa senkcitho yemveliso yazo kunye nonobangela wokupakishwa kwawo.
Ukuthobela izibophelelo zayo ezisemthethweni, i-Amazon ihlawula le ntlawulo kwamanye amazwe angaphandle kwe-United States.I-Amazon sele ixhomekeke kwiinkqubo ezinjalo eCanada, ngokutsho kweCanadian Managed Services Alliance engenzi nzuzo, exhasa iinkqubo kumaphondo.
Kumsebenzi omkhulu wemithetho yase-US yokurisayikilisha, iimfuno ezinjalo azikafumaneki ukuthandwa ngurhulumente wobumbano, ngaphandle kwezinto ezithile, eziyityhefu kunye nexabiso elifana ne-elektroniki kunye neebhetri.
Iilokha ezibonakalayo ezigcinwe yiAmazon kubathengi ukuba babuyise iimveliso zinokuvuma ukupakishwa okusetyenzisiweyo, iingcali zicetyisiwe, zongeza ukuba iAmazon inokuzibophelela ekubuyiseleni iplastiki ukuze isetyenziswe kwixesha elizayo kwiposi yayo yokuthumela.
"Banokwenza ukusabalalisa umva, ukubuyisela izinto eziphathekayo kwinkqubo yabo yokusabalalisa. Ezi ngongoma zokuqokelela ziba zibaluleke kakhulu ukuze kube lula umthengi, "kusho uScott Cassell, umlawuli oyintloko weZiko loLawulo lweMveliso, oqhube uphando. Ikwanjalo nenkampani egxile ekunciphiseni ifuthe lemekobume yeemveliso zabathengi. ”Kodwa iya kubabiza imali. ”
