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 kwe-Amazon kuneengxaki ezifanayo njengeengxowa zeplastiki, ezingenakuhlehliswa kwinkqubo yethu yokuphinda isetyenziswe kwaye ibambeke koomatshini," kusho uLisa Se, umphathi wenkqubo kwi-King County Solid Waste Division, ejongene nokuhlaziywa kwakhona e-King County, eWashington Lisa Sepanski. uthe .., apho ikomkhulu leAmazon likhona. ”Kufuna umsebenzi ukubasika.Kufuneka bawumise lo matshini.”
Ixesha leeholide zamva nje lelona lixakekileyo kurhwebo lwe-e-commerce, okuthetha ukuthunyelwa okuninzi - okukhokelela kwinkunkuma eninzi yokupakisha. Njengeqonga elisemva kwesiqingatha sazo zonke iintengiselwano ze-e-commerce ngo-2018, iAmazon yeyona ndawo inkulu yokuthutha inkunkuma kunye nomvelisi. , kunye ne-trendsetter, ngokutsho kwe-eMarketer, oku kuthetha ukuba ukuhamba kwayo kwi-imeyile yeplastiki kungabonakalisa utshintsho kwishishini ngokubanzi .Abanye abathengisi abasebenzisa i-imeyile yeplastiki efana ne-Target, enqabile ukuphawula.
Ingxaki ngeposi yeplastiki iphindwe kabini: kufuneka ihlaziywe ngokutsha, kwaye ukuba iphelela kumjelo oqhelekileyo, inokuphazamisa inkqubo yokuphinda isetyenziswe kwaye ithintele iinyanda ezinkulu zemathiriyeli ukuba zisetyenziswe. idinga ukwenza umsebenzi ongcono wokukhuthaza abathengi ukuba baphinde basebenzise imeyile yeplastiki, ngokunika imfundo eyongezelelekileyo nezinye iindawo zokwenza oko.
"Sisebenze nzima ukuphucula iindlela zethu zokupakisha kunye nokuphinda sisebenzise kwaye sinciphise inkunkuma yokupakisha yehlabathi ngaphezu kweepesenti ezingama-20 ngo-2018," watsho isithethi sase-Amazon uMelanie Janin, esongeza ukuba i-Amazon inikezela ngolwazi lokuphinda isetyenziswe kwiwebhusayithi yayo.

Ezinye iingcali zenkunkuma zithi injongo ye-Amazon yokunciphisa i-bulky cardboard yindlela efanelekileyo yokuhamba.I-imeyile yePlastiki ineenzuzo ezithile kwimeko-bume.Xa kuthelekiswa neebhokisi, zithatha indawo encinci kwiinqwelo kunye neelori, okwandisa ukuhanjiswa kwenqanawa.Ukuveliswa, ukusetyenziswa kunye nokulahlwa ifilimu yeplastiki ikhupha iigesi ezimbalwa ze-greenhouse kwaye idla i-oyile encinci kunekhadibhodi esetyenzisiweyo, utshilo uDavid Allawi, umhlalutyi ophezulu wenkqubo yolawulo lwezixhobo kwiSebe le-Oregon loMgangatho wokusiNgqongileyo.
Iplastiki inexabiso eliphantsi kwaye yomelele kangangokuba iinkampani ezininzi ziyisebenzisela ukupakisha.Kodwa abathengi bathanda ukubeka iingxowa zeplastiki kumgqomo wokurisayikilisha. Ipakethe, igqithisa impembelelo entle yokunciphisa ukuthunyelwa kwekhadibhodi eninzi.Iipakethi zephepha ezisetyenziselwa ukufumana amaxabiso aphezulu kwimarike yamazwe ngamazwe kwaye kudala zinengeniso kwishishini lokurisayikilisha.Kodwa iibhali kunzima ukuzithengisa-ezininzi zithunyelwa ukuba zisetyenziswe ngokutsha ngenxa yemithetho engqongqo. eTshayina—ukuba iinkampani ezininzi ezirisayikilishwa kuNxweme lwaseNtshona kufuneka zizilahle.
“Njengoko ukupakishwa kuya kusiba nzima kwaye kulula, kufuneka silungise imathiriyeli eninzi ngesantya esicothayo ukuze sivelise isivuno esifanayo.Ngaba inzuzo yanele?Impendulo namhlanje ithi hayi, utshilo uPete Keller, usekela mongameli wokwenziwa ngokutsha 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. ukunciphisa inkunkuma yokupakisha neendleko zokusebenza.UJanin ubhala athi iAmazon “kungokunje yandisa amandla eimeyile enokuphinda isetyenziswe enokuphinda isetyenziswe kumjelo wokuhlaziya iphepha.”
Enye yeenkampani ezimbalwa ze-Fortune 500 ezingafaki uxanduva lwentlalo yoluntu okanye ingxelo yozinzo, inkampani yaseSeattle ithi inkqubo yokupakisha "ekhululekileyo" inciphise inkunkuma yokupakisha ngeepesenti ezili-16 kwaye yaphelisa imfuno yeMfuneko engaphezulu. 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-imeyile yeplastiki ye-Amazon. ngoDisemba 2017, njengenyathelo elibhekiselele kwimfundo yabathengi.
Enye ingxaki ngeposi entsha ezaliswe ngeplastiki kukuba i-Amazon kunye nabanye abathengisi babeka iileyibhile zedilesi yephepha, 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 ezaliswe ngeplastiki inokuphinda isetyenziswe xa abathengi besusa ilebula kwaye bathathe i-imeyile kwindawo yokulahla ngaphandle kwamanye amaketanga. Izixeko ezivala iingxowa zeplastiki, njengedolophu yaseAmazon eSeattle, 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 zokutya kunye neebhokisi ezinkulu zeebhokisi.Enye i-96% ijika ibe yinkunkuma, nokuba iphoswe. 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 umva ukusasaza, bebuyisela umbandela kwinkqubo yabo yokuhambisa.Ezi ndawo zokuqokelela zibaluleke kakhulu ukuze kube lula kubathengi, "utshilo uScott Cassell, umlawuli oyintloko weZiko loLawulo lweeMveliso, oqhube uphando.Ikwanjalo nenkampani egxile ekunciphiseni ifuthe lemekobume yeemveliso zabathengi. ”Kodwa iya kubabiza imali. ”
