Umshayeli we-Amazon Flex u-Arielle McCain, 24, uletha iphakheji ngoDisemba 18, 2018, e-Cambridge, Massachusetts.Abakhankasi bezemvelo kanye nochwepheshe bemfucuza bathi izikhwama zepulasitiki ezintsha zase-Amazon, ezingakwazi ukugaywa kabusha emigqonyeni yomgwaqo, zinomthelela omubi.(Pat I-Greenhouse/I-Boston Globe)
Onyakeni odlule, i-Amazon inciphise ingxenye yezimpahla ezipakishwe emabhokisini amakhadibhodi ukuze ivune i-imeyili yepulasitiki engasindi, evumele isiqhwaga esidayisayo ukuthi sifake amaphakheji engeziwe emalolini okulethwa kwezidingo nasezindizeni.
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 nokubhajwa emishinini,” kusho uLisa Se, umphathi wohlelo eKing County Solid Waste Division, eyengamele ukugaywa kabusha e-King County, Washington Lisa Sepanski. wathi.., lapho ikomkhulu le-Amazon likhona.” Kudinga umsebenzi ukuze banqamule.Kumele bamise umshini.”
Isikhathi samaholide sakamuva sibe matasatasa kakhulu kwezentengiselwano nge-elekthronikhi, okusho ukuthunyelwa okuningi - okuholele ekulahlekeni okuningi kokupakishwa. Njengenkundla engemuva kwengxenye yakho konke okwenziwa yi-e-commerce ngo-2018, i-Amazon iyindawo enkulu yokuthutha imfucuza nomkhiqizi. , kanye ne-trendsetter, ngokusho kwe-eMarketer, okusho ukuthi ukuthuthela kwayo eposini lepulasitiki kungase kubonise ukushintsha kwemboni yonke .Abanye abathengisi abasebenzisa i-imeyili yepulasitiki efanayo bahlanganisa i-Target, enqabile ukuphawula.
Inkinga ngeposi lepulasitiki ikabili: adinga ukugaywa kabusha ngawodwana, futhi uma egcina esemfuleni ojwayelekile, angaphazamisa uhlelo lokugaywa kabusha futhi avimbele izinyanda ezinkulu zezinto ukuthi zigaywe kabusha. idinga ukwenza umsebenzi ongcono wokukhuthaza abathengi ukuthi baphinde basebenzise imeyili yepulasitiki, ngokunikeza imfundo eyengeziwe nezinye izindawo zokwenza lokho.
"Besisebenza kanzima ukuthuthukisa izinketho zethu zokupakisha nokuvuselela kabusha futhi sehlise imfucuza yomhlaba wonke ngamaphesenti angaphezu kwama-20 ngo-2018," kusho umkhulumeli we-Amazon uMelanie Janin, wengeza ngokuthi i-Amazon inikeza ulwazi lokugaywa kabusha kuwebhusayithi yayo. (Isikhulu se-Amazon uJeff Bezos ungumnikazi weWashington Post.)
Abanye ochwepheshe bemfucuza bathi umgomo we-Amazon wokunciphisa amakhadibhodi amakhulu kuwukunyakaza okufanele.Iposi lepulasitiki linezinzuzo ezithile ngendawo ezungezile.Uma kuqhathaniswa namabhokisi, athatha indawo encane ezitsheni nasemalolini, okwandisa ukusebenza kahle kwemikhumbi.Ukukhiqizwa, ukusetshenziswa nokulahlwa kwempahla. ifilimu yepulasitiki ikhipha amagesi abamba ukushisa ambalwa futhi idla uwoyela omncane kunamakhadibhodi agaywe kabusha, kusho uDavid Allawi, umhlaziyi wenqubomgomo ophezulu wohlelo lokuphathwa kwezinto ezibonakalayo eMnyangweni we-Oregon Wekhwalithi Yezemvelo.
Ipulasitiki ishibhile futhi ihlala isikhathi eside kangangokuthi izinkampani eziningi ziyisebenzisela ukupakisha.Kodwa abathengi bavame ukufaka izikhwama zepulasitiki emgqonyeni wokugaywa kabusha. iphakethe, elidlula umthelela omuhle wokunciphisa ukuthunyelwa kwekhadibhodi ngobuningi.Amaphakethe wephepha asetshenziselwa ukuthenga amanani aphezulu emakethe yamazwe ngamazwe futhi anesikhathi eside enza inzuzo embonini yokugaywa kabusha.Kodwa amabhala anzima kakhulu ukuwathengisa—amaningi athunyelwa ukuze agaywe kabusha ngenxa yemithetho eqinile. eChina—ukuthi izinkampani eziningi ezigaya kabusha zaseNtshonalanga Yasogwini kufanele zizilahle.
“Njengoba ukupakishwa kuba nzima futhi kuba lula, 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.
Eminyakeni eyi-10 edlule, i-Amazon inciphise ukupakishwa okungadingekile, ukupakisha imikhiqizo emabhokisini ayo asekuqaleni noma nini lapho kungenzeka, noma emaphaketheni alula kakhulu. ukuze kuncishiswe imfucuza yokupakisha kanye nezindleko zokusebenza.U-Janin ubhala ukuthi i-Amazon “njengamanje yandisa umthamo weposi eligcina isivikelo eligaywa kabusha elingase ligaywe kabusha emfudlaneni wokugaywa kabusha kwephepha.”
Enye yezinkampani ezimbalwa ze-Fortune 500 ezingawufaki umbiko wokuzibophezela komphakathi noma umbiko wokusimama, inkampani yaseSeattle ithi uhlelo lwayo lokupakisha “okungakhungatheki” lwehlise imfucuza yokupakisha ngamaphesenti ayi-16 futhi lwaqeda isidingo seDemand engaphezu kuka. 305 million amabhokisi okuthutha.2017.
"Ngokombono wami, ukuthuthela kwabo emaphaketheni aguquguqukayo kuqhutshwa yizindleko nokusebenza, kodwa futhi ne-carbon footprint ephansi," kusho uNina Goodrich, umqondisi we-Sustainable Packaging Alliance.Uqondisa uphawu lwe-How2Recycle, olwaqala ukuvela eposini lepulasitiki eligcwele i-Amazon. ngoZibandlela wezi-2017, njengesinyathelo esibheke emfundweni yabathengi.
Enye inkinga ngemeyili entsha egcwele ipulasitiki ukuthi i-Amazon nabanye abathengisi bafaka amalebula ekheli lamaphepha, okubenza bangafaneleki ukugaywa kabusha, ngisho nasezindaweni zokulahla ezitolo.Amalebula adinga ukususwa ukuze kuhlukaniswe iphepha kupulasitiki 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 ingaphinda isetshenziswe lapho abathengi besusa ilebula futhi bathathe i-imeyili endaweni yokulahla ngaphandle kwamanye amaketanga.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 ulahliwe. ekugayweni kabusha konqenqema, iphelela endaweni yokulahla imfucumfucu.
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 ukusatshalaliswa, babuyisele ukwaziswa ohlelweni lwabo lokusabalalisa.Lezi zindawo zokuqoqa zibaluleka kakhulu ukuze kube lula kubathengi,” kusho uScott Cassell, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Institute for Product Management, eyenze ucwaningo.Kanjalo nenkampani egxile ekwehliseni umthelela wemvelo wemikhiqizo yabathengi. ”Kodwa kuzobabiza imali. ”
