I-Biodegradable vs. Compostable Packaging Materials

Esikweni lethu lokulahla, kunesidingo esikhulu sokwenza izinto ezingaba yingozi kangako endaweni yethu; izinto zokupakisha ezibolayo nezivundisekayo ziyizindlela ezimbili ezintsha zokuphila eziluhlaza. Njengoba sigxila ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi okuningi kwalokho esikulahlayo ezindlini zethu nasemahhovisi kuyabola noma kungavundisi, siseduze nomgomo wokwenza umhlaba ube indawo evumelana nemvelo nemfucuza encane.

Njengoba sigxila ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi okuningi kwalokho esikulahlayo ezindlini zethu nasemahhovisi kuyabola noma kungavundisi, siseduze nomgomo wokwenza umhlaba ube indawo evumelana nemvelo nemfucuza encane.

Izici ezibalulekile zento ehlanganiswayo:

- I-Biodegradability: ukuhlukaniswa kwamakhemikhali kwezinto zibe yi-CO2, amanzi namaminerali (okungenani u-90% wezinto ezisetshenziswayo kufanele zehliswe ngesenzo sebhayoloji phakathi nezinyanga eziyisi-6).

- Ukuhlakazeka: ukubola komzimba womkhiqizo ube yizingcezu ezincane. Ngemuva kwamaviki angu-12 okungenani u-90% womkhiqizo kufanele ukwazi ukudlula ku-2 × 2 mm mesh.

- Ukwakheka kwamakhemikhali: amazinga aphansi ezinsimbi ezisindayo - ngaphansi kohlu lwamanani ashiwo wezakhi ezithile.

- Ikhwalithi yomquba wokugcina kanye ne-ecotoxicity: ukungabikho kwemiphumela emibi kumquba wokugcina. Amanye amapharamitha amakhemikhali/emvelo okungafanele ahluke kulawo omquba olawulayo ngemva kokuwohloka.

Ngalinye lala maphuzu liyadingeka ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nencazelo yokuvunda, kodwa iphuzu ngalinye lilodwa alanele. Isibonelo, i-biodegradable material akudingekile ukuthi ivundise ngoba kufanele ihlukane phakathi nomjikelezo owodwa wokwenza umquba. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, into ehlukanayo, phezu komjikelezo owodwa wokwenza umquba, ibe yizicucu ezincane ezingaboli ngokuphelele, ayivundisi.
