Tngā rangahau hou mai i teTe Kaunihera Tiaki Rauemi Taiao (NRDC)E whakaatu ana i tētahi pono whakaharahara: kua pakaruhia e ngā kirihou moroiti ngā arai katoa i waenganui i te taiao me te tinana tangata, ā, kua uru ki roto tata i ngā kokonga katoa o te oranga o ia rā. Ka puta ēnei matūriki ririki—he iti iho i te 5 mirimita te rahi—ki roto i ngā whekau matua o te tangata pērā i te toto me te roro, tae atu ki te oneone, ngā moana, me te hau e manawahia ana e tātou. Ko te nuinga i ahu mai i te pakaru, i te marere rānei o ngā takai kotahi-whakamahinga, ngā kakahu, me ngā taonga hokohoko o ia rā, ka pā he kino kino ki ngā rauropi o te ao, ā, ka huna i ngā mōrearea nui ki te hauora tūmatanui e tīmata ana tātou ki te mārama.

Te Huringa Ao Whānui:

Te Pikinga o te Tono mō ngā Tākai Hoa-Taiao

AKo te panonitanga hanganga o ngā whanonga a ngā kaihoko kei te akiaki i te pikinga o te tono mō ngā takai tauwhiro. E kitea ana i roto i te rangahau ā-ao a Nielsen i te tau 2025, e 73% o ngā kaihoko e pai ana ki te utu i te 15-20% utu nui mō ngā hua kua takaihia ki ngā rauemi hoa-taiao—ā, ko ngā mākete o Ūropi me Amerika Te Raki kei te arahi i tēnei taumata. Ko ngā mātua, ko ngā kaiwhaiwhai hauora, ko ngā Millennials, me te Gen Z inaianei e aro nui ana ki te "kore kirihou, ka taea te hangarua, ka taea rānei te whakawairakau" hei mea whai hua, whai hua rānei ina whiriwhiri ana i ngā waitohu. He tino kaha te tono ki te kai me te inu, te tiaki whaiaro, me ngā hua pēpi, e keri ana i ngā āputa mārama mō te ahunga whakamua i roto i te wāhi takai.

Nā te whakakaha o ngā ture o te ao, kua hurihia ngā takai pai ki te taiao mai i te "mea pai ki te whai" ki te mea nui. E whakahau ana te Ture Whakatakotoranga me te Para o te Takai (PPWR) a te EU kia whakamahia anō, kia taea rānei te hangarua ngā takai katoa e uru ana ki ngā mākete Pākehā i te tau 2030, ā, ka aukatia katoatia ngā kirihou kotahi te whakamahinga pērā i te kakau witi me ngā taputapu kai. I California, USA, ka akiakihia ngā waitohu e ngā ture Whānui o te Kawenga Kaihanga (EPR) kia whai kawenga mō ngā para o te takai puta noa i tōna huringa ora, ka akiaki i ngā kaiwhakarato ki te whakateretere i te neke ki ngā huarahi kē atu matomato.

Me pēhea te whawhai ki ngā kirihou iti?

3 Ngā Otinga Tākai Tauwhiro Matua

AAhakoa te pikinga o te tono mākete me te pēhanga ture, me whai otinga whai hua, tauwhiro hoki te rāngai tākai hei aro atu ki te parahanga kirihou moroiti me te whakaputa uara whai tikanga:

1. Ngā Rauemi Hangarua me te Hangarua: Tapahia ngā Kirihou Maioro i te Pūtake

Mā te whakamahi i ngā kirihou hangarua muri-kaihoko (PCR), ngā muka tipu (pērā i te bagasse tō, te bamboo, me te māngaro kānga), me te pepa hoa-taiao ka tino whakaiti i te whakawhirinaki ki te kirihou tauhou—tētahi o ngā puna matua o ngā kirihou moroiti mai i te hanga me te pirau. E whakaatu ana tētahi rangahau i te tau 2024 a te Sustainable Packaging Coalition ka whakaitihia e ngā pounamu kirihou PCR te turuturu kirihou moroiti mā te 40% ki te whakataurite ki ngā pounamu kirihou tauhou tuku iho. Kua ārahi kē ngā waitohu pēnei i a Patagonia me Unilever mā te whakawhiti i ētahi raina hua ki te takai PCR 100%, te whakatakoto i tētahi paearu ahumahi me te whakanui ake i te tono pumau mō te tango rauemi hangarua.

2. Tākai WhakakotahiTe Whakatikatika Pai rawa atu mō ngā Horopaki Uaua ki te Hangarua

Ngā rauemi ka taea te whakapūkara pērā i te waikawa polylactic(PLA), ngā polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), ēneitakai kirihou hangaruaka pakaru katoa i roto i ngā āhuatanga whakapūkara taiao, ahumahi rānei, me te kore e tukuna he kirihou moroiti. He tino pai mō ngā whakamahinga uaua ki te hangarua pērā i ngā ipu kai, ngā tapanga tuku hua hou, me ngā taputapu kai kotahi te whakamahinga. I Ūropi, kua whakatinanahia e ngā kaihokohoko nui pērā i a Carrefour me Tesco ngā ture tino pakari: me whakamahi ngā kaiwhakarato i ngā takai whakapūkara mō ngā taonga hou. Mā tēnei kaupapa here ka huaki he ara tipu mārama mō te rangahau, te whanaketanga, me te tango i ngā rauemi whakapūkara.

3. Ngā Pūnaha Tākai Whakamahi Anō: Hangaia he Porowhita Ōhanga Porowhita

Ko ngā tauira takai porowhita e aro ana ki te "kohikohi-horoi-whakamahi anō", ka whakakore i te para kotahi te whakamahinga tae noa ki tōna pūtake, ka tukuna he otinga roa mō te parahanga kirihou moroiti.Pūkete Taiao MVIKa mahi tahi me ngā kaihokohoko puta noa i te ao ki te whakarato i ngā takai ka taea te whakamahi anō mō te kai me ngā mea e hiahiatia ana i ia rā, me te whakawhanake anō hoki i ngā otinga kua whakaritea mō ngā hiahia motuhake. Ehara i te mea ka whakaiti noa i te para tēnei huarahi engari ka hangai anō hoki ki te pana ā-ao ki tētahi ōhanga porowhita.

Kei tua atu i te Tākai:

Ekehia te Ngaru Taiao mō te Ahunga Whakamua Tauwhiro

TKei te hurihanga anō te ahumahi tākai i te hurihanga taiao o te ao i puta mai i te parahanga kirihou moroiti. Mā te whakatairanga i te oranga tonutanga, te whai i ngā ture, me te arotahi ki ngā hiahia o te mākete—me te whakahōhonu ake i te haumi ki ngā otinga oranga tonutanga—ka taea ai e tātou te hopu i ngā whai wāhitanga i roto i tēnei panonitanga me te huri i tētahi raruraru taiao o te ao hei whakakorikori mō te tipu pai o te rāngai tākai.

10 Ngā Huarahi hei Whakaiti i te Whakapuakanga Kirihou Moroiti

(Mai i te Pukapuka Whakarāpopototanga "Ngā Āniwaniwa Maikoro" a te NRDC)

Bi whakaritea ki runga i teNRDCte whakarāpopototanga hou a teNgā Āniwaniwa Kirihou Moroiti,"Anei ngā mahi whai hua ka taea e ngā kaihoko te mahi hei whakaiti i te pānga o te kirihou moroiti mō rātou anō me ō rātou whānau:

Kōwhiria te wai tap hei utu mō te wai pounamu.
Kaua rawa e whakamahanatia te kai i roto i ngā ipu kirihou i roto i te ngaruiti.
Arotakehia anō ngā taputapu kirihou o tō whare.
Kōwhiria ngā muka taiao mō ngā whāriki, ngā taonga whare, me ngā kākahu.
He pai ki a koe te tī? Āta karohia ngā pēke tī kirihou i ngā wā katoa e taea ana.
Mauria mai tāu ake kapu ka taea te whakamahi anō (kaua e whiriwhiri i ngā kapu kirihou koiora).
Āta karohia ngā pounamu pēpi kirihou.
Arotakehia anō ō taputapu tunu kai kore-piri (he maha kei roto he kirihou huna).
Kia tūpato ki ngā kirihou huna kei roto i ngā hua paheketanga pērā i ngā whakamātao me ngā tampon.
Āta karohia ngā hua tiaki whaiaro e mau ana i ngā kirihou moroiti.

Ka whai hua ngā panonitanga iti. Mā te whakarerekē i ngā tikanga o ia rā, me te tautoko i te takai tauwhiro, ka taea e tātou katoa te whai wāhi ki te whakaiti i te raruraru kirihou moroiti.
