Ngonyaka odlule, i-Amazon inciphise ingxenye yezimpahla ezipakishwe emabhokisini amakhadibhodi ukuze ivune i-imeyili yepulasitiki engasindi, evumele isiqhwaga esidayisayo ukuthi sicindezele amaphakheji engeziwe emalolini okulethwa kwezidingo kanye nezindiza.
Kodwa abakhankasi bezemvelo kanye nongoti bemfucuza bathi izinhlobo ezintsha zezikhwama zepulasitiki ezingakwazi ukugaywa kabusha emigqonyeni engaseceleni komgwaqo zinomthelela omubi.
"Ukupakishwa kwe-Amazon kunezinkinga ezifanayo nezikhwama zepulasitiki, ezingakwazi ukuhlelwa ohlelweni lwethu lokugaywa kabusha futhi zibhajwe emishinini," kusho uLisa Se, umphathi wohlelo eKing County Solid Waste Division, eyengamele ukugaywa kabusha e-King County, eWashington uLisa Sepanski uthe ..., lapho ikomkhulu le-Amazon liyikomkhulu." Kuthatha umsebenzi ukuze bawunqamule.
Isikhathi samaholide sakamuva kube esimatasatasa kakhulu kwezohwebo nge-e-commerce, okusho ukuthi ukuthunyelwa okuningi - okuholele ekulahlekeni kokupakishwa okuningi. Njengoba inkundla engemuva kwesigamu sakho konke ukuthengiselana nge-e-commerce ngo-2018, i-Amazon ingumkhiqizi omkhulu kakhulu wokuthuthwa kwemfucuza kanye nomkhiqizi, ngokusho kwe-eMarketer, okusho ukuthi ukuthuthela kwayo kuma-imeyili epulasitiki kungabonisa ukushintshwa okufanayo kwemboni yepulasitiki. owenqabile ukuphawula.
Inkinga ngeposi yepulasitiki ikabili: idinga ukugaywa kabusha ngakunye, futhi uma igcina isisemfuleni ojwayelekile, ingaphazamisa uhlelo lokugaywa kabusha futhi ivimbele izinqwaba zezinto ezisetshenziswayo ukuthi zigaywe kabusha.Abagqugquzeli bezemvelo bathi i-Amazon, isikhondlakhondla sembonini, idinga ukwenza umsebenzi ongcono wokukhuthaza abathengi ukuthi basebenzise kabusha i-imeyili yepulasitiki nezinye izindawo, ngokunikeza imfundo eyengeziwe kanye nezindawo ezihlukile.
"Besisebenza kanzima ukuthuthukisa izinketho zethu zokupakisha nokuvuselela kabusha futhi sehlise imfucuza yokupakishwa komhlaba ngamaphesenti angaphezu kwama-20 ngo-2018," kusho umkhulumeli we-Amazon uMelanie Janin, wengeza ngokuthi i-Amazon inikeza ulwazi lokugaywa kabusha kuwebhusayithi yayo. (Isikhulu esiphezulu se-Amazon uJeff Bezos ungumnikazi weThe Washington Post.)
Abanye ochwepheshe bemfucuza bathi inhloso ye-Amazon yokunciphisa amakhadibhodi amakhulu kuwumnyakazo olungile.Imeyili yepulasitiki inezinzuzo ezithile ngendawo.Uma iqhathaniswa namabhokisi, ithatha indawo encane ezitsheni namaloli, okwandisa ukusebenza kahle kokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi.Ukukhiqizwa, ukusetshenziswa nokulahlwa kwefilimu yepulasitiki kukhipha amagesi abamba ukushisa ambalwa futhi kudla uwoyela omncane kunamakhadibhodi agaywe kabusha, kusho uDavid Allawi wenqubomgomo yokuphatha izinto zokwakha ze-Environment Analyst.
Ipulasitiki ishibhile futhi ihlala isikhathi eside kangangokuthi izinkampani eziningi ziyisebenzisela ukupakisha.Kodwa abathengi bavamise ukufaka izikhwama zepulasitiki emgqonyeni wokugaywa kabusha.Ochwepheshe bathi imeyili yepulasitiki ibalekela ukunaka kwemishini yokuhlunga bese iba amabhala wephepha abhayilwe ukuze agaywe kabusha, angcolisa iphakethe lonke, ukwedlula umthelela omuhle wokunciphisa inqwaba yamakhadibhodi emakethe asetshenziswe isikhathi eside ekuthunyelweni kwemakethe okunenzuzo enkulu emakethe yamazwe ngamazwe. embonini yokugaywa kabusha. Kodwa amabhala anzima kakhulu ukuwathengisa—amaningi athunyelwa ukuze agaywe kabusha ngenxa yemithetho eqinile eShayina—kangangokuthi izinkampani eziningi ezigaya kabusha zaseNtshonalanga YaseNtshonalanga kufanele ziwalahle.
"Njengoba ukupakisha kuba yinkimbinkimbi futhi kulula, kufanele sicubungule izinto eziningi ngenani eliphansi ukuze sikhiqize isivuno esifanayo. Ingabe inzuzo yanele? Impendulo namuhla ithi cha," kusho uPete Keller, iphini likamongameli weRecycling Services. , le nkampani ingenye yezinkampani ezinkulu ezisusa udoti e-United States.” Ukubhekana nakho nsuku zonke kudinga umsebenzi onzima nowokulungisa, futhi kubiza ngempela.
Kule minyaka eyi-10 edlule, i-Amazon inciphise ukupakishwa okungadingekile, ukupakisha imikhiqizo emabhokisini ayo asekuqaleni noma nini lapho kungenzeka, noma emaphaketheni alula kakhulu. umfudlana wokugaya kabusha amaphepha.”
Enye yezinkampani ezimbalwa ze-Fortune 500 ezingafaki umbiko wesibopho senhlalakahle yenkampani noma umbiko wokusimama, inkampani ese-Seattle ithi uhlelo lwayo lokupakisha “olungenakho ukukhungatheka” lwehlise imfucuza yokupakisha ngamaphesenti ayi-16 futhi lwaqeda isidingo Sesidingo samabhokisi okuthutha angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-305.2017.
"Ngokombono wami, ukuthuthela kwabo ekufakweni okuguquguqukayo kuqhutshwa yizindleko nokusebenza, kodwa futhi ne-carbon footprint ephansi," kusho uNina Goodrich, umqondisi we-Sustainable Packaging Alliance.Wengamela i-logo ye-How2Recycle, eyaqala ukuvela ku-imeyili yepulasitiki ehlanganisiwe yase-Amazon ngoDisemba 2017, njengesinyathelo sokufundisa abathengi.
Enye inkinga ngeposi entsha egcwele ipulasitiki ukuthi i-Amazon kanye nabanye abathengisi bafaka amalebula ekheli lephepha, okubenza bangafaneleki ukugaywa kabusha, ngisho nasezindaweni zokukhishwa kwesitolo.Amalebula adinga ukususwa ukuze ahlukanise iphepha epulasitiki ukuze impahla igaywe kabusha.
"Izinkampani zingathatha izinto ezinhle futhi zizenze zingaphinde zisetshenziswe ngokusekelwe kumalebula, izinto zokunamathisela noma iziyinki," kusho uGoodrich.
Njengamanje, le imeyili ye-Amazon egcwele ipulasitiki ingase igaywe kabusha uma abathengi sebesuse ilebula futhi bayisa imeyili endaweni yokulahla ngaphandle kwamanye amaketango.Ngemva kokuhlanza, ukomiswa kanye nokwenza i-polymerizing, ipulasitiki ingancibilika futhi yenze ukhuni oluyinhlanganisela lokuhlobisa.Amadolobha avimbela izikhwama zepulasitiki, njengedolobha lase-Amazon e-Seattle, anezindawo ezimbalwa zokulahla.
Ngokombiko ka-2017 we-Closed-Loop Report on Recycling e-US, amaphesenti angu-4 kuphela efilimu yepulasitiki eqoqwe emizini yase-US esetshenziswa kabusha ngezinhlelo zokuqoqwa ezitolo zegrosa kanye nezitolo ezinkulu zamabhokisi.Omunye u-96% uphenduka udoti, ngisho noma ujikijelwa ekugayweni kabusha konqenqema, igcina isendaweni yokulahla udoti.
Amanye amazwe adinga izinkampani ukuthi zithwale umthwalo omkhulu wezezimali nokuphatha ngemikhiqizo yazo ngemva kokuba abathengi sebeyisebenzisile. Kulezi zinhlelo, izinkampani zikhokhelwa ngokusekelwe enanini lokumosha kwemikhiqizo yazo kanye nembangela yokupakishwa kwayo.
Ukuze ihambisane nezibopho zayo zomthetho, i-Amazon ikhokha lezi zimali kwamanye amazwe angaphandle kwe-United States.I-Amazon isivele ingaphansi kwezinhlelo ezinjalo e-Canada, ngokusho kwenhlangano engenzi nzuzo yase-Canadian Managed Services Alliance, esekela izinhlelo ezifundazweni.
Emisebenzini eminingi yemithetho yase-US yokugaywa kabusha, izimfuneko ezinjalo azikatholi umusa kuhulumeni wobumbano, ngaphandle kwezinto ezithile, ezinobuthi nezibalulekile ezifana nogesi namabhethri.
Amalokha angokomzimba i-Amazon ewagcinela abathengi ukuthi abuyise imikhiqizo angavuma ukupakishwa okusetshenzisiwe, ochwepheshe basikisela, bengeza ngokuthi i-Amazon ingazibophezela ekubuyiseleni kabusha ipulasitiki ukuze isetshenziswe esikhathini esizayo eposini layo lokuthumela.
"Bangakwazi ukuhlehlisa ukusabalalisa, ukubuyisela impahla ohlelweni lwabo lokusabalalisa. Lezi zindawo zokuqoqa zibaluleka kakhulu ukuze kube lula umthengi, "kusho uScott Cassell, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Institute for Product Management, eyenza ucwaningo. Kanjalo nenkampani egxile ekwehliseni umthelela wemvelo wemikhiqizo yabathengi. ”Kodwa kuzobabiza imali. ”
