Is Your Packaging Truly Safe?

Inā ʻoe e hoʻokele i kahi ʻoihana meaʻai, ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka pale ʻana ma mua o kahi kikoʻī wale nō - pili ia i ke olakino, hilinaʻi, a me ka hoʻokō. Akā pehea ʻoe e maopopo ai ua palekana nā mea āu e hoʻohana ai? Hiki ke nānā aku i ka maikaʻi a maikaʻi paha ke ʻano o ka pōʻai, akā ʻaʻole ia manaʻo he palekana ke pā i ka meaʻai. Inā kūʻai ʻoe i nā meaʻai i kālua ʻia, nā meaʻai lawe i waho, a i ʻole nā mea ʻai ʻai, pono ʻoe i ka ʻeke e hahai i nā lula palekana meaʻai.

At Tuobo Packaging, kōkua mākou i nā hōʻailona meaʻai e hanapaʻi meaʻai maʻamaue kū ana i nā lula a kākoʻo pū i kāu kiʻi hōʻailona.

Ua ʻike paha ʻoe inā he palekana maoli kāu ʻeke ʻai?

E ʻoiaʻiʻo kāu—ʻo ka manawa hope loa ʻoenānā ʻiainā he palekana ka meaʻai i kāu ʻeke? ʻAʻole wau e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka manaʻo ʻana no ka mea "maʻemaʻe" a i ʻole ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, nā mea kūlohelohe i makemake ʻia e nā mea a pau. ʻo koʻu manaʻomaoliʻike—hiki iā ia ke mālama i ka sopa wela? Nā pāʻina momona? He pule i loko o ka pahu hau?

Ke holo nei i kahi ʻoihana ʻeke e like me Tuobo Packaging, ua ʻike mākou i nā mea āpau. I kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua kauoha ʻia kahi kaula kofe liʻiliʻi a mākou i hana ai i nā ʻeke sandwich kraft nani mai kahi mea hoʻolako ʻē aʻe. Ua nānā maikaʻi lākou ma waho - ka hōʻailona maʻalahi, ka waihoʻoluʻu lepo - akā hoʻomaka kā lākou mea kūʻai aku e ʻike i nā ʻili momona e kahe ana ma lalo.

ʻOi aku ka ʻino? Hoʻokahi ʻeke i hāʻawi mai i kahi ʻala ʻilika ʻē aʻe i ka wā i pā ai i ka palaoa wela. Hele mai kēlā mea kūʻai iā mākou me ka hopohopo. ʻIke ʻia, ʻaʻole i hōʻoia ʻia nā ʻeke no ka hoʻopili pololei ʻana i ka meaʻai. ʻAʻole ia he hōkeo hāʻule—he pōʻino brand kēlā.

No laila, eia ka mea: ʻaʻole like nā ʻeke pepa a pau, nā pā palaka, a i ʻole nā pahu compostable. ʻAʻole ʻo ka palekana meaʻai kahi hiʻohiʻona bonus—ʻo ia ke kumu.

He aha ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he meaʻai-palekana?

Aia ka ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o ka "pili kaiaola" a me ka "palekana no ka meaʻai." No ka mea biodegradable kekahi mea, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻoheheʻe i nā kemika ke hoʻomehana ʻia.

Pono e paʻa ka ʻeke palekana meaʻai. 'O ia ho'i, 'a'ohe hopena 'ē a'e ke pili me ka 'aila, ka waikawa, ka ma'ama, a me ka wela. ʻAʻohe uhi huna. ʻAʻohe metala kaumaha. A ʻaʻohe mea hoʻohui like ʻole i ʻae ʻiaPFAS. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i lohe i kēlā mau mea, laki ʻoe—ʻo ka nui o nā meaʻai i aʻo i ke ala paʻakikī i ka wā i paʻi ʻia ai nā poʻomanaʻo e pili ana i nā mea kemika i pāpā ʻia e hōʻike ʻia ana i loko o nā ipu lawe "maoli".

Kōkua nā hōʻailona—Akā inā ʻike ʻoe i ke ʻano o ia mau mea

E manaʻo wau: ua ʻike mua ʻoe i ke kīʻaha waina liʻiliʻi a me ka hōʻailona ma mua, ʻeā? ʻO ia ka mea e mākaʻikaʻi ai i nā mea i palekana no ka pili ʻana i ka meaʻai. Akā pehea e pili ana i nā lepili e like me "LFGB" a i ʻole "EN 13432"?

Ke hoʻouna mākou i kā mākouʻeke ʻai pepa maʻamau or ʻeke palaoa pepa, hoʻokomo mau mākou i nā palapala hoʻokō — i kekahi manawa ʻoi aku ka mea nui ma mua o ka mea i paʻi ʻia ma ka ʻeke ponoʻī. Nui nā hōʻailona, akā ʻoi aku ka leo o ka pepa. Inā ʻaʻole hiki i kāu mea hoʻolako ke hāʻawi i nā hōʻike hoʻāʻo, ʻo ia kāu hae ʻulaʻula mua.

He aha nā mea āu e hoʻohana nei?

E wāwahi kākou me ka ʻole o ka jargon.

Palaki (PP, PET, HDPE): Inā ʻo ia ka papa kūpono, maikaʻi. Akā ua ʻike au i ka poʻe e kauoha ana i nā ʻeke maʻemaʻe loa ma ka pūnaewele, me ka ʻike ʻole he mea pono lākou no ka lako, ʻaʻole ka meaʻai.
Pepa/Papa: He meaʻai wale nō ka palekana ke mālama pono ʻia. Aia kekahi mau mea pale aila i nā mea āu e makemake ʻole ai ma kahi kokoke i kāu ʻaina awakea.
Bagasse (Sugarcane fiber): Aloha au i kēia mea. Hoʻomaka mākou e hāʻawipahu pahuma hope o ka noi ʻana o kahi pā wai ma ʻEulopa i nā kīʻaha palaka ʻole i hiki ke mālama i ka curry wela. Hana ʻia e like me ka mea hoʻohiwahiwa. ʻAʻohe leaks, ʻaʻohe mea kemika, hoʻopiha piha.
aniani, aluminika, kila: Paʻakikī ke hele hewa maanei. ʻAʻohe lākou. Ka lōʻihi. Akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no ke kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a i ʻole ka hoʻohana hou ʻana.

He aha kāu e nīnau ai ma mua o kou kūʻai ʻana

Ua hele mai nā mea kūʻai mai iā mākou ma hope o nā pōʻino - nā ʻeke hoʻoheheʻe, nā pahu momona, a me nā hopena maʻi. No laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke nīnau iā lākou i kēia manawa:

Aia i hea ka hōʻike hoʻāʻo?
Ua palekana anei kēia mea i ka microwave?
Loaʻa iā PFAS?(Pīhoihoi ʻoe i ka nui o nā mea e hana nei.)
Hiki iaʻu ke hoʻāʻo mua i kahi laʻana me ka meaʻai maoli?

Hoʻohana kekahi o kā mākou mea kūʻai hou aku i kahi brand dumpling hau. Ua hoʻāʻo lākou i kā mākou mau kīʻaha me ka hupa wela ma mua o ke kauoha ʻana. No ke aha mai? No ka mea, ua wehe ʻia ka pūʻulu hope mai kahi mea hoʻolako ʻē aʻe i ka wai paila. ʻAʻole i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka wela—akā ʻaʻohe mea i haʻi iā lākou.

No ke aha e hilinaʻi ai nā ʻoihana hou aku iā Bagasse

Ua ʻike au ua haʻi mua aku au, akā ʻaʻole i pau kaʻu hīmeni ʻana i nā hale pule a bagasse. ʻAʻole kēia e pili ana i ka compostable. Ke hana pololei ʻia, ʻae ʻia ka bagasse i ka wela, kūpaʻa ʻaila, a ikaika.

A he mea kanu ia. ʻAʻole kala-mea kanu. ʻAʻole "like me ke ʻano." ʻO iaisʻano ʻano.

Ua hana mākou me kahi kaulahao taco wikiwiki ma Sepania e makemake ana i nā ipu clamshell i hiki ke mālama i nā kīʻaha wela, ʻaʻole makemake i ka plastic. Hāʻawi mākou i ka bagasse i hōʻoia ʻia i paʻa mai ka lumi kuke a hiki i ka lawe ʻana - ʻaʻohe sogginess, ʻaʻohe ʻala kemika.

ʻO ia ke ʻano o nā mea kūʻai paʻie hoomanao.

Manaʻo hope: hilinaʻi, akā e hōʻoia

E nānā, hiki i ka pahu ke hana a wāwahi paha i kāu huahana. ʻO ka waihoʻoluʻu, ka paʻi, ka manawa unboxing - he mea nui lākou a pau. Akā inā ʻaʻole hiki i kēlā puʻupuʻu ke hoʻopaʻa pono i kāu meaʻai, ʻaʻole pili i ka nani.

Ma Tuobo Packaging, ua hoʻohana mākou i nā makahiki he nui i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā mea palekana a kūpono hoʻi. Maiʻeke bagel logo maʻamaui nā compostable i hōʻoia piha ʻia, kōkua mākou iā ʻoe e nānā i kēlā me kēia pahu—hoʻolālā, palekana, a me ka hoʻomau.

Mai kali i ka hoʻopiʻi o ka mea kūʻai aku e ʻike i kahi hewa. E nīnau i nā nīnau paʻakikī i mua. Pēlā ʻoe e pale ai i kāu huahanaakou kaulana.

Mai ka makahiki 2015, ua lilo mākou i ka mana leo ma hope o 500+ mau hōʻailona honua, e hoʻololi ana i ka ʻeke i mea hoʻokele waiwai. Ma ke ʻano he mea hana i hoʻohui ʻia mai Kina, ʻike mākou i nā ʻōnaehana OEM/ODM e kōkua i nā ʻoihana e like me kāu e hoʻokō a hiki i ka 30% kūʻai hoʻokiʻekiʻe ma o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka hoʻolālā.

Mainā hāʻina hōʻailona meaʻaie hoʻonui i ka hoʻopiʻi papanā ʻōnaehana lawe lawe maʻalahihoʻolālā ʻia no ka wikiwiki, kā mākou kōpili i 1,200+ SKU i hōʻoia ʻia e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻike mea kūʻai aku. E kiʻi i kāu mau meaʻai i lokonā kīʻaha hau kalima i pai ʻiae hoʻonui ai i nā kaʻana Instagram, barista-gradenā lima kope pale welae hōʻemi ana i nā hoʻopiʻi kahe, a i ʻolenā mea lawe pepa hōʻailona luxee hoʻohuli i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā papa hoʻolaha hele wāwae.

ʻO kā mākouʻili ʻili kōua kōkua i nā mea kūʻai aku 72 e hoʻokō i nā pahuhopu ESG i ka wā e ʻoki ana i nā kumukūʻai, anā kīʻaha anu PLA kumu kanuke hoʻokele nei i nā kūʻai hou ʻana no nā hale ʻaina ʻole-waste. Kākoʻo ʻia e nā hui hoʻolālā hale a me ka hana ʻana i hōʻoia ʻia e ISO, hoʻohui mākou i nā mea pono e hoʻopili ai - mai nā laina greaseproof a i nā sticker branded - i hoʻokahi kauoha, hoʻokahi invoice, 30% ka liʻiliʻi o nā poʻo o ka hana.

Hoʻopili mau mākou i ka koi o ka mea kūʻai aku ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi, hāʻawi iā ʻoe i nā huahana kiʻekiʻe a me ka lawelawe noʻonoʻo. Hoʻokumu ʻia kā mākou hui i nā ʻoihana loea e hiki ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i nā hoʻonā maʻamau a me nā manaʻo hoʻolālā. Mai ka hoʻolālā ʻana a hiki i ka hana ʻana, e hana pū mākou me ʻoe e hōʻoia i ka hoʻokō pono ʻana o kāu mau kīʻaha pepa hollow i kūpono i kāu mau manaʻo a ʻoi aku ma mua o lākou.
