Hiki i nā ʻeke plastik biodegradable ke lawe i ke kūʻai ʻana i ʻekolu mau makahiki ma hope o ka waiho ʻia ʻana i kahi ʻano kūlohelohe.
Ua hoʻāʻo ʻia ʻelima mau mea ʻeke ʻeke i loko o nā hale kūʻai UK e ʻike i ka mea e hiki mai ana iā lākou ma nā wahi e hiki ai ke ʻike ʻia inā e hoʻopalapala ʻia.
Hoʻokaʻawale lākou a pau i ʻāpana ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i ka ea no ʻeiwa mahina.
Akā ma hope o ʻekolu mau makahiki i loko o ka lepo a i ke kai paha, ʻekolu mau mea, me nā ʻeke biodegradable, i paʻa mau.
Ua ʻike ʻia nā ʻeke compostable i mea aloha iki i ke kaiapuni - ma ka liʻiliʻi loa ma ke kai.
Ma hope o ʻekolu mahina ma ka moana, ua nalowale lākou, akā hiki ke ʻike ʻia ma ka lepo ma hope o 27 mau mahina.
Ua hoʻāʻo nā kānaka ʻepekema ma ke Kulanui o Plymouth i nā mea like ʻole i nā manawa maʻamau e ʻike i ke ʻano o ka haki ʻana.
Ua ʻōlelo lākou ua hāpai ka noiʻi i nā nīnau e pili ana i nā huahana biodegradable e kūʻai ʻia ana i nā mea kūʻai aku ma ke ʻano he ʻokoʻa i ka plastic non-recyclable.
"No nā ʻeke biodegradable hiki ke hana ʻo ia ka mea kupanaha loa," wahi a Imogen Napper, nāna i alakaʻi i ke aʻo ʻana.
"Ke ʻike ʻoe i kahi mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma kēlā ʻano manaʻo wau e manaʻo ʻoe e hoʻohaʻahaʻa koke ia ma mua o nā ʻeke maʻamau.
"Akā ma hope o ʻekolu mau makahiki ma ka liʻiliʻi, hōʻike kā mākou noiʻi ʻaʻole paha ka hihia."
Biodegradable v compostable
Inā biodegradable kekahi mea hiki ke wāwahi ʻia e nā mea ola e like me ka bacteria a me ka haʻi.
E noʻonoʻo i kahi ʻāpana hua i waiho ʻia ma ka mauʻu - hāʻawi manawa a ʻike ʻia ua nalowale loa.ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua "ʻeli ʻia" e nā microorganism.
Loaʻa ia i nā mea kūlohelohe me ka ʻole o ke ʻano o ke kanaka i hāʻawi ʻia i nā kūlana kūpono - e like me ka mahana a me ka loaʻa o ka oxygen.
ʻO ka hoʻopuehu ʻana he mea like ia, akā na ke kanaka e hoʻomalu i ka hana ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki.
Nā hui huiʻeke plastik compostableno ka ʻōpala meaʻai, a no ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻana he compostable pono lākou e wāwahi i loko o 12 pule ma lalo o nā kūlana kikoʻī.
Ua nīnau pū ka poʻe ʻepekema ma Plymouth i ka maikaʻi o nā mea biodegradable e like me ka hopena lōʻihi i ka pilikia o nā plastics hoʻohana hoʻokahi.
"Ke hāpai nei kēia noiʻi i nā nīnau he nui e pili ana i ka mea e manaʻo ai ka lehulehu ke ʻike lākou i kahi mea i kapa ʻia he biodegradable.
"Ke hōʻike nei mākou ma ʻaneʻi ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia nā mea i hoʻāʻo ʻia i kahi pono kūpono, hilinaʻi a kūpono hoʻi i ka pōʻaiapili o ka ʻōpala moana.
"Ke hopohopo nei iaʻu i kēia mau mea noʻonoʻo e hōʻike ana i nā pilikia i ka hana hou ʻana," wahi a Profesor Richard Thompson, ke poʻo o ka International Marine Litter Research.
I loko o ke aʻo ʻana, ua haʻi ka poʻe ʻepekema i kahi hōʻike 2013 European Commission e hōʻike ana e pili ana i 100 biliona mau ʻeke plastik e hoʻopuka ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
ʻO nā aupuni like ʻole, me ka UK, ua hoʻokomo i nā hana e like me nā uku e hōʻemi i ka helu i hoʻohana ʻia.
