Is Your Packaging Truly Safe?

Inā ʻoe e hoʻokele i kahi ʻoihana meaʻai, ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka ʻōpala ma mua o kahi kikoʻī wale nō—hoʻopilikia ia i ke olakino, ka hilinaʻi, a me ka mālama ʻana. Akā pehea ʻoe e maopopo ai ua palekana nā mea āu e hoʻohana ai? Hiki i kekahi mau ʻōpala ke nānā aku a maikaʻi paha ke ʻano o ke kaiapuni, akā ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo he palekana ke hoʻopā i ka meaʻai. Inā ʻoe e kūʻai aku i nā mea i hoʻomoʻa ʻia, nā meaʻai lawe ʻia, a i ʻole nā meaʻai māmā, pono ʻoe i nā ʻōpala e hahai ana i nā lula palekana meaʻai.

At ʻŌpala Tuobo, kōkua mākou i nā lama meaʻai e hanaʻōpala papa meaʻai maʻamaue hoʻokō ana i nā lula a kākoʻo pū i ke kiʻi o kāu brand.

Ua ʻike anei ʻoe inā palekana maoli kāu ʻōpala no ka meaʻai?

E ʻoiaʻiʻo kākou—ʻo ka manawa hea ka manawa hope loa āu i hana ainānā ʻiainā palekana kāu ʻōpala no ka meaʻai? ʻAʻole wau e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka manaʻo ʻana no ka mea "nani maʻemaʻe" a i ʻole he ʻano liʻiliʻi a organik e makemake ai nā mea a pau. ʻO ia hoʻiʻoiaʻiʻoʻike—hiki iā ia ke lawelawe i ka sopa wela? Nā mea ʻono momona? He pule i loko o ka friji?

Ke holo nei i kahi ʻoihana hoʻopili e like me Tuobo Packaging, ua ʻike mākou i nā mea āpau. I kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua kauoha kahi kaulahao kope liʻiliʻi a mākou i hana pū ai i nā ʻeke sanwika kraft nani mai kahi mea hoʻolako ʻē aʻe. Ua nani ko lākou ʻano ma waho—logo maʻalahi, kala lepo—akā ua hoʻomaka kā lākou mea kūʻai aku e ʻike i nā ʻōpala momona e kahe ana ma lalo.

ʻOi aku ka ʻino? Ua hoʻopuka kekahi ʻeke i kahi ʻala plastik ʻē i ka wā i hoʻopā ai i ka berena wela. Ua hele mai kēlā mea kūʻai aku iā mākou me ka hopohopo. ʻIke ʻia, ʻaʻole i hōʻoia ʻia nā ʻeke no ka hoʻopili pololei ʻana i ka meaʻai. ʻAʻole ia he hemahema o ka hoʻopili ʻana—he pōʻino ia o ka brand.

Eia ka mea: ʻaʻole i hana like ʻia nā ʻeke pepa āpau, nā pā palaki, a i ʻole nā pahu compostable. ʻAʻole he hiʻohiʻona bonus ka palekana o ka meaʻai—ʻo ia ke kumu.

He aha ka mea i manaʻo maoli ʻia he palekana no ka meaʻai?

He ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o ka "friendly eco" a me ka "palekana no ka meaʻai." ʻOiai he biodegradable kahi mea, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ʻaʻole ia e hoʻokuʻu i nā kemika ke hoʻomehana ʻia.

Pono e paʻa ka ʻōpala palekana meaʻai. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻaʻohe hopena ʻē i ka wā e pili ai me ka ʻaila, ka waikawa, ka makū, a i ʻole ka wela. ʻAʻohe uhi huna. ʻAʻohe metala kaumaha. A ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻi, ʻaʻohe mea hoʻohui i ʻae ʻole ʻia e like mePFASInā ʻaʻole ʻoe i lohe i kēlā mau mea, ua laki ʻoe—ua aʻo ka nui o nā lama meaʻai i ke ala paʻakikī i ka wā i paʻi ai nā poʻomanaʻo e pili ana i nā kemika i pāpā ʻia e hōʻike ʻia ana i loko o nā pahu lawe "maoli".

Kōkua nā Hōʻailona—Akā inā ʻike ʻoe i ko lākou manaʻo

E kuhi wau: ua ʻike mua ʻoe i ke aniani waina liʻiliʻi a me ka hōʻailona ʻō, ʻeā? ʻO ia ke kumu no ka hōʻailona ʻana i nā mea palekana no ka hoʻopili ʻana me ka meaʻai. Akā pehea nā lepili e like me "LFGB" a i ʻole "EN 13432"?

Ke hoʻouna aku mākou i kā mākounā ʻeke meaʻai pepa maʻamau or nā ʻeke pepa berena, hoʻokomo mau mākou i nā palapala hoʻokō—i kekahi manawa ʻoi aku ka nui o ia mea ma mua o ka mea i paʻi ʻia ma ka ʻōpala ponoʻī. He maikaʻi 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 maoli nei?

E wehewehe kākou me ka ʻole o ka ʻōlelo maʻamau.
