Is Your Packaging Truly Safe?

Ukuba uqhuba ishishini lokutya, ukhuseleko lokupakisha alunanto nje ibalulekileyo—luchaphazela impilo, ukuthembana, kunye nokuthobela imithetho. Kodwa ungaqiniseka njani ukuba izinto ozisebenzisayo zikhuselekile? Ezinye izinto ozipakishayo zinokubonakala zilungile okanye zivakale zinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba kukhuselekile ukuchukumisa ukutya. Nokuba uthengisa izinto ezibhakiweyo, ukutya okuthengiweyo, okanye ukutya okulula, udinga izinto ezipakishwayo ezilandela imithetho yokhuseleko lokutya.

At Ukupakisha iTuobo, sinceda iimveliso zokutya ukuba zenzeukupakishwa okusemgangathweni wokutya okwenziwe ngokwezifisoehlangabezana nemigaqo kwaye ikwaxhasa umfanekiso webhrendi yakho.

Ngaba Uyazi Ukuba Ukupakisha Kwakho Ukutya Kukhuselekile Ngokwenene?

Masibe nenyaniso—ugqibele nini ngokweneneihlolweUkuba ukupakisha kwakho bekukhuselekile ekutyeni? Andithethi ngokucinga ukuba kungenxa yokuba “kubonakala kucocekile” okanye kunomoya omncinci, wendalo othandwa ngumntu wonke. Nditsho ukuthini?ngokweneneukwazi—ingaba ingamelana nesuphu eshushu? Iipasta ezinamafutha? Iveki efrijini?

Siqhuba ishishini lokupakisha elifana neTuobo Packaging, sikubonile konke. Kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo, ikhonkco elincinci lekofu esasisebenza nalo la-odola iibhegi zesandwich ezintle zekraft komnye umthengisi. Zazibukeka zintle ngaphandle—ilogo elula, umbala womhlaba—kodwa abathengi babo baqala ukuqaphela amabala egrisi evuza ezantsi.

Okubi nangakumbi? Ibhegi enye yayinuka ivumba elingaqhelekanga leplastiki xa yayichukumisa itoast eshushu. Loo mthengi weza kuthi exhalabile. Kwavela ukuba, iibhegi azizange ziqinisekiswe ukuba zinxibelelana ngqo nokutya. Oko akukokusilela kokupakisha—yintlekele yophawu olo.

Nantsi ke into: ayizizo zonke iingxowa zephepha, iitreyi zeplastiki, okanye iibhokisi ezinomgquba ezilinganayo. Ukhuseleko lokutya aluyonto ibalulekileyo—yinto ephambili.

Yintoni Ebaluleke Kakhulu Njengekhuselekileyo Ekutyeni?

Kukho umahluko omkhulu phakathi “kokusingqongileyo” kunye “nokukhuselekileyo ekutyeni.” Ukuba nje into iyabola akuthethi ukuba ayizukuyikhupha iikhemikhali xa ishushu.

Ukupakisha okukhuselekileyo ekutyeni kufuneka kuhlale kuzinzile. Oko kuthetha ukuba akukho zimpendulo zingaqhelekanga xa kudibana neoyile, i-asidi, ukufuma, okanye ubushushu. Akukho zambatho zifihlakeleyo. Akukho zinyithi zinzima. Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo akukho zongezo zingavunywanga ezifanaI-PFASUkuba awukaze uve ngaloo nto, unethamsanqa—iimveliso zokutya ezininzi zafunda kabuhlungu xa iindaba zifika malunga neekhemikhali ezingavumelekanga ezibonakala kwizikhongozeli zokutya “zendalo”.

Iimpawu Ziyanceda—Kodwa Kuphela Ukuba Uyazi Oko Zikuthethayo

Makhe ndiqikelele: ukhe wayibona iglasi encinci yewayini kunye nophawu lwefolokhwe ngaphambili, akunjalo? Yeyona nto ibalulekileyo xa kubhalwa izinto ezikhuselekileyo xa kuthethwa ngokutya. Kodwa kuthekani ngeelebheli ezifana ne-“LFGB” okanye “EN 13432”?

Xa sithumela zethuiingxowa zokutya zephepha zesiko or iingxowa zebhakari zephepha, sihlala siquka amaxwebhu okuthobela imithetho—ngamanye amaxesha abaluleke ngaphezu koko kuprintiweyo kwiphakheji ngokwayo. Iimpawu zilungile, kodwa amaphepha athetha kakhulu. Ukuba umthengisi wakho akanakukwazi ukubonelela ngeengxelo zovavanyo, yiloo nto yokuqala ebalulekileyo kuwe.

Zeziphi Izinto Ozisebenzisayo?

Masiyihlalutye ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ulwimi oluntsonkothileyo.

Iplastiki (PP, PET, HDPE): Ukuba lixabiso elifanelekileyo, kulungile. Kodwa ndibone abantu beodola iipokotshi ezicacileyo ezingabizi kakhulu kwi-intanethi, bengazi ukuba zenzelwe izixhobo, kungekhona ukutya.
Iphepha/Ikhadibhodi: Ikhuselekile ekutyeni kuphela xa iphathwa kakuhle. Ezinye izinto ezimelana neoyile zinezinto ongazifuniyo kufutshane nesidlo sakho sasemini.
I-Bagasse (ifayibha yeswekile): Ndiyazithanda ezi zinto. Saqala ukubonelelaizikhongozeli zebhagasiemva kokuba i-juice bar eYurophu icele izitya ezingenaplastiki ezikwaziyo ukumelana ne-hot curry. Isebenze kakuhle kakhulu. Akukho kuvuza, akukho khemikhali, inokugqunywa ngokupheleleyo.
Iglasi, iAluminiyam, iNtsimbi: Kunzima ukwenza impazamo apha. Azinamsebenzi. Zihlala ixesha elide. Kodwa zilungele ngakumbi ukupakisha okuphezulu okanye okunokusetyenziswa kwakhona.

Yintoni Omele Uyibuze Ngaphambi Kokuba Uthenge

Siye sabona abathengi beza kuthi emva kwentlekele—iingxowa ezinyibilikisiweyo, iibhokisi ezinamafutha, kwaneempendulo ze-allergy. Ngoko ke, ungababuza rhoqo:

Iphi ingxelo yovavanyo?
Ingaba le nto ikhuselekile kwi-microwave?
Ngaba iqulethe i-PFAS?(Ubuya kumangaliswa kukuba bangaphi abasakwenzayo.)
Ndingazama isampuli enokutya kokwenyani kuqala?

Omnye wabathengi bethu abatsha unegama le-dumpling eqandisiweyo. Bavavanye izitya zethu ngomhluzi oshushu ngaphambi kokuba ba-odole. Ngoba? Kuba ibhetshi yokugqibela evela komnye umthengisi yahlukana emanzini abilayo. Yayingenzelwanga ubushushu—kodwa akukho mntu ubaxeleleyo loo nto.

Kutheni Ezinye IiBrands Zithemba I-Bagasse

Ndiyazi ukuba ndikhe ndakukhankanya ngaphambili, kodwa andikagqibi ukucula indumiso ye-bagasse. Oku akupheleli nje ekubeni ngumgquba. Xa yenziwe kakuhle, i-bagasse iyakwazi ukumelana nobushushu, imelana neoyile, kwaye inamandla.

Kwaye isekelwe kwizityalo. Ayinambala wezityalo. Ayibonakali ngathi yindalo.isindalo.

Sisebenze nenkampani ye-taco ekhawulezayo eSpain eyayifuna izikhongozeli ze-clamshell ezazinokuthwala izinto ezishushu nezinongwe kodwa zazingafuni iplastiki. Sihambise i-bagasse eqinisekisiweyo eyayihlala imile ukusuka ekhitshini ukuya ekuhanjisweni—akukho manzi, akukho vumba lamakhemikhali.

Olu hlobo lokupakisha abathengikhumbula.
