Hoʻokaʻawale ʻoe i kāu hana hou ʻana, waiho ʻia e hōʻiliʻili - a laila pehea?Mai nā ʻaha kūkā e puhi ana i ka hailona a hiki i nā wahi ʻāina ʻāina ʻē e piha ana i ka ʻōpala Pelekane, hōʻike ʻo Oliver Franklin-Wallis i kahi pilikia ʻōpala honua.
Ke kani nei ke kani ʻana, hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ka paʻa, a ʻo ka laina ma Green Recycling ma Maldon, Essex, e kani hou ana i ke ola.ʻO ka muliwai o ka ʻōpala i kaʻa i lalo i ka mea lawe: pahu pahu, papa maʻalahi, ʻōmole plastik, ʻeke ʻōpala, pahu DVD, pahu paʻi, nā nūpepa lehulehu, me kēia.ʻO nā ʻāpana ʻōpala ʻē aʻe e hopu i ka maka, e hōʻike ana i nā vignettes liʻiliʻi: hoʻokahi mīkina lima i hoʻolei ʻia.ʻO kahi pahu Tupperware i ʻoki ʻia, ʻo ka ʻai i loko i ʻai ʻole ʻia.He kiʻi o kahi keiki ʻakaʻaka ma nā poʻohiwi o ke kanaka makua.Akā, ua hala lākou i kahi manawa.ʻO ka laina ma Green Recycling e mālama i ka 12 tone o ka ʻōpala i hoʻokahi hola.
"Hoʻopuka mākou i 200 a 300 tonnes i ka lā," wahi a Jamie Smith, ka luna nui o Green Recycling, ma luna o ka pā.Ke kū nei mākou i ʻekolu papa ma luna o ke alanui ʻōmaʻomaʻo olakino a palekana, e nānā ana i lalo o ka laina.Ma ka papahele wili, hopu ka mea ʻeli i nā ʻōpala mai nā puʻu a hoʻopaʻa iā ia i loko o kahi pahu wili, a hoʻolaha like ʻia ma luna o ka mea lawe.Ma ke kāʻei, koho nā limahana kanaka a hoʻokahe i nā mea waiwai (nā ʻōmole, ka pahu pahu, nā kini alumini) i loko o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā chutes.
"ʻO kā mākou huahana nui ka pepa, ka pepa pahu, nā ʻōmole plastik, nā plastik hui ʻia, a me ka lāʻau," wahi a Smith, 40. "Ke ʻike nei mākou i ka piʻi nui ʻana o nā pahu, mahalo iā Amazon."I ka pau ʻana o ka laina, ua lilo ke kahawai i kahe.Hoʻopaʻa maikaʻi ʻia nā ʻōpala i loko o nā bale, mākaukau e hoʻouka ʻia i nā kaʻa.Mai laila, e hele ai - pono, ʻo ia ka wā e paʻakikī ai.
Inu ʻoe i ka Coca-Cola, hoʻolei i ka ʻōmole i loko o ka hana hou ʻana, waiho i nā pahu i waho i ka lā hōʻiliʻili a poina iā ia.Akā ʻaʻole nalo.ʻO nā mea a pau āu e loaʻa ai i kekahi lā e lilo i waiwai o kēia, ʻo ka ʻoihana ʻōpala, kahi ʻoihana honua £ 250bn i hoʻoholo e unuhi i kēlā me kēia peni hope loa o ka waiwai mai nā mea i koe.Hoʻomaka ia me nā mea hana hoʻihoʻi waiwai (MRFs) e like me kēia, e hoʻokaʻawale i ka ʻōpala i loko o kāna mau ʻāpana.Mai laila mai, komo nā mea i kahi pūnaewele labyrinthine o nā mea kūʻai aku a me nā mea kālepa.Hana ʻia kekahi o ia mea ma UK, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mea - ma kahi o ka hapalua o ka pepa a me ka pahu pahu, a me ʻelua hapakolu o nā plastics - e hoʻouka ʻia i nā moku pahu e hoʻouna ʻia i ʻEulopa a i ʻAsia no ka hana hou ʻana.Hele ka pepa a me ka pepa i nā wili;holoi ʻia ke aniani a hoʻohana hou ʻia a wāwahi ʻia a hoʻoheheʻe ʻia, e like me ke metala a me ka plastic.ʻO ka meaʻai, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, puhi ʻia a hoʻouna ʻia paha i ka ʻōpala.
A i ʻole, ʻo ia ka hana ma mua.A laila, i ka lā mua o 2018, ʻo Kina, ka mākeke nui loa o ka honua no nā ʻōpala hana hou, pani maoli i kona mau puka.Ma lalo o kāna kulekele National Sword, ua pāpā ʻo Kina i nā ʻano ʻōpala 24 mai ke komo ʻana i ka ʻāina, me ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana ua haumia loa ka mea e komo mai ana.ʻO ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke kulekele i pili i ka hopena o kahi palapala, Plastic China, i hele i viral ma mua o ka holoi ʻana o nā censors mai ka pūnaewele ʻo Kina.Ke hahai nei ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni i kahi ʻohana e hana ana i ka ʻoihana hana hou ʻana o ka ʻāina, kahi e ʻohi ai nā kānaka ma waena o nā puʻupuʻu nui o ke komohana, ʻoki a hoʻoheheʻe i ka plastic salvageable i loko o nā pellets hiki ke kūʻai aku i nā mea hana.He hana pelapela, hoʻohaumia - a ʻino ka uku.Hoʻopau pinepine ʻia ke koena ma ke ākea.Noho ka ʻohana ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka mīkini ʻohi, kā lākou kaikamahine 11 makahiki e pāʻani ana me kahi Barbie i huki ʻia mai ka ʻōpala.
Ua hoʻouna ʻo Westminster council i ka 82% o nā ʻōpala hale āpau - me ka mea i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o nā pahu hana hou - no ka puhi ʻana i ka makahiki 2017/18
No ka poʻe hana hou e like me Smith, ʻo National Sword kahi kī nui."Ua emi paha ke kumukūʻai o ka pepa pahu i nā mahina he 12 i hala iho nei," wahi āna.“Ua hāʻule ke kumukūʻai o nā plastics a hiki ʻole ke hoʻohana hou ʻia.Inā ʻaʻole lawe ʻo Kina i ka plastic, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke kūʻai aku.Eia naʻe, pono e hele kēlā ʻōpala i kahi.ʻO ka UK, e like me ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina i kūkulu ʻia, hoʻopuka i nā ʻōpala ma mua o ka hiki ke hana ma ka home: 230m tonnes i ka makahiki - ma kahi o 1.1kg i kēlā me kēia lā.(ʻO ka ʻAmelika, ka lāhui ʻino loa o ka honua, hoʻopuka i 2kg i kēlā me kēia kanaka i kēlā me kēia lā.) Ua hoʻomaka koke ka mākeke e hoʻopiha i nā ʻāina e lawe i ka ʻōpala: Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, nā ʻāina me kekahi o nā helu kiʻekiʻe loa o ka honua i kapa ʻia e nā mea noiʻi.

ʻO Malaysia ka ʻāina hoʻolei i kēia manawa.I ʻOkakopa i ka makahiki i hala, ua loaʻa i kahi noiʻi ʻo Greenpeace Unearthed nā mauna o nā ʻōpala Pelekania a me ʻEulopa i nā hoʻolei hewa ʻole ma laila: ʻo Tesco crisp packets, Flora tubs a me nā ʻeke hōʻiliʻili hou mai ʻekolu mau ʻaha kūkā o Lākana.E like me Kina, hoʻopau pinepine ʻia ka ʻōpala a haʻalele ʻia, a loaʻa i kona ala i nā muliwai a me nā moana.I Mei, ua hoʻomaka ke aupuni Malaysia e hoʻihoʻi i nā moku pahu, e haʻi ana i nā hopohopo olakino.Ua hoʻolaha aku ʻo Thailand a me India i ka pāpā ʻana i ka lawe ʻana mai i nā ʻōpala plastik haole.Akā ke kahe nei ka ʻōpala.
Makemake mākou i kā mākou ʻōpala huna.Hoʻopili ʻia ʻo Green Recycling ma ka hope o kahi ʻāina ʻoihana, i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā papa metala hoʻoheheʻe kani.Ma waho, kahi mīkini i kapa ʻia ʻo Air Spectrum e uhi i ka ʻala ʻala me ka ʻala o nā ʻāpana moe pulupulu.Akā, ʻo ka mea hikiwawe, ke nānā nui ʻia ka ʻoihana.Ma UK, ua stagnate ka uku hana hou i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ʻoiai ʻo National Sword a me nā ʻoki kālā i alakaʻi i ka nui o nā ʻōpala i puhi ʻia i loko o nā insinerators a me nā mea kanu ikehu mai ka ʻōpala.(ʻO ka puhi ʻana, ʻoiai e hoʻohewa pinepine ʻia no ka hoʻohaumia ʻana a me kahi kumu kūpono ʻole o ka ikehu, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia lā ma mua o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, e hoʻopuka ana i ka methane a hiki ke hoʻokuʻu i nā mea ʻawaʻawa.) hoʻopau ʻia i ka makahiki 2017/18.Ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa kekahi mau ʻaha kūkā e haʻalele loa i ka hana hou ʻana.A ʻo ke UK naʻe he lāhui hoʻopōmaikaʻi kūleʻa: 45.7% o nā ʻōpala hale a pau i helu ʻia ma ke ʻano he recycled (ʻoiai ʻo ia helu e hōʻike wale ana i hoʻouna ʻia no ka hana hou ʻana, ʻaʻole ma kahi e pau ai.) Ma US, ʻo ia helu he 25,8%.
ʻO kekahi o nā hui ʻōpala nui loa o UK, ua hoʻāʻo e hoʻouna i nā nappies i hoʻohana ʻia ma nā ʻāina ʻē i loko o nā palapala i hōʻailona ʻia he pepa ʻōpala.
Inā ʻoe e nānā i nā plastics, ʻoi aku ka ʻeleʻele o ke kiʻi.ʻO ka 8.3bn tons o ka plastik puʻupaʻa i hana ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, ʻo 9% wale nō i hana hou ʻia, e like me ka 2017 Science Advances pepa i kapa ʻia ʻo Production, Use and Fate of All Plastics Ever Made."Manaʻo wau ʻo ka manaʻo maikaʻi loa o ka honua aia paha mākou ma 20% [i kēlā me kēia makahiki] ma ka honua i kēia manawa," wahi a Roland Geyer, kāna mea kākau alakaʻi, he kumu aʻoaʻo o ka ʻenehana ʻenehana ma ke Kulanui o Kaleponi, Santa Barbara.Ke kānalua nei ka poʻe aʻoaʻo a me nā NGO i kēlā mau helu, no ka maopopo ʻole o ka hopena o kā mākou mau ʻōpala i waho.I Iune, ua hewa kekahi o nā hui ʻōpala nui loa o UK, ʻo Biffa, no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻouna i nā nappies i hoʻohana ʻia, nā kāwele hoʻomaʻemaʻe a me nā lole ma waho o nā ʻāpana i hōʻailona ʻia he pepa ʻōpala."Ke manaʻo nei au he nui nā moʻohelu kālā e hoʻonui i nā helu," wahi a Geyer.
"He moʻolelo piha maoli kēia i ka wā e ʻōlelo ai ka poʻe e hana hou ana mākou i kā mākou plastics," wahi a Jim Puckett, ka luna hoʻokele o ka Basel Action Network i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Seattle, ka mea e hoʻolaha kūʻē i ke kālepa ʻōpala hewa.“Ua maikaʻi nā mea a pau.'E hana hou ana ia ma Kina!'ʻAʻole au makemake e uhaʻi iā ia i nā mea a pau, akā ke hoʻolei mau nei kēia mau wahi i ka nui o [kēlā] plastik a puhi i ke ahi.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana e like me ka wā kahiko.Ua hana hou ko Iapana i ka pepa i ke kenekulia 11;Ua hana ka poʻe ʻeleʻele kahiko i nā mea kaua mai ka metala ʻōpala.I ka wā o ke kaua honua ʻelua, ua hana ʻia nā metala ʻōpala i kaʻa a me nā nylons wahine i parachute."Ua hoʻomaka ka pilikia ma ka hopena o nā makahiki 70, hoʻomaka mākou e hana hou i ka ʻōpala hale," wahi a Geyer.Ua haumia kēia i nā ʻano mea like ʻole: nā mea hiki ʻole ke hoʻohana hou ʻia, nā ʻōpala meaʻai, nā aila a me nā wai e popopo a hōʻino i nā bale.
I ka manawa like, ua hoʻopiha ka ʻoihana hoʻopili i ko mākou mau hale me ka plastic cheap: nā ʻōpala, nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni, nā ʻōmole, nā mea kanu i hoʻopili ʻia.ʻO ka plastik kahi e hoʻopaʻapaʻa nui ai ka hana hou ʻana.ʻO ka hana hou ʻana i ka alumini, e ʻōlelo, he maʻalahi, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ke kani kūlohelohe: ʻo ka hana ʻana i kahi pahu mai ka alumini recycled e hōʻemi i kona wāwae kalapona a hiki i 95%.Akā me ka plastic, ʻaʻole ia maʻalahi.ʻOiai ʻaneʻane hiki ke hana hou ʻia nā plastik a pau, ʻaʻole nui no ka mea he pipiʻi ke kaʻina hana, paʻakikī a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka huahana ma mua o ka mea āu i hoʻokomo ai."E hoʻouna ʻoe iā ia a puni, a laila pono ʻoe e holoi, a laila pono ʻoe e ʻokiʻoki, a laila pono ʻoe e hoʻoheheʻe hou iā ia, no laila ʻo ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana a me ka hana hou ʻana iā ia iho ka hopena kūlohelohe," wahi a Geyer.
Pono ka hana hou ʻana o ka hale i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana ma kahi ākea.ʻO ia ke kumu i loaʻa ai i ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina i hoʻomohala ʻia nā pahu kala: e mālama i ka huahana hope me ka maʻemaʻe.Ma UK, hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Recycle Now he 28 mau hōʻailona hana hou i hiki ke ʻike ʻia ma ka ʻeke.Aia ka loop mobius (ʻekolu mau pua wili), e hōʻike ana i kahi huahana hiki ke hana hou ʻia;i kekahi manawa aia i loko o ia hōʻailona kekahi helu ma waena o hoʻokahi a me ʻehiku, e hōʻike ana i ka resin plastik kahi i hana ʻia ai ka mea.Aia ke kiko ʻōmaʻomaʻo (ʻelua mau pua ʻōmaʻomaʻo e apo ana), e hōʻike ana ua hāʻawi ka mea hana i kahi papahana hana hou ʻEulopa.Aia nā lepili e ʻōlelo ana "Widely Recycled" (e ʻae ʻia e 75% o nā ʻaha kūkā kūloko) a me "Check Local Recycling" (ma waena o 20% a me 75% o nā ʻaha kūkā).
Mai ka National Sword, ua lilo ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i mea koʻikoʻi, ʻoiai ke koi nei nā mākeke o waho i nā mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi."ʻAʻole lākou makemake e lilo i ʻāina hoʻolei o ka honua, pololei," wahi a Smith, ke hele nei mākou ma ka laina Green Recycling.Ma kahi o ka hapalua, ʻehā wahine i hi-vis a me nā pāpale e huki i nā ʻāpana nui o ka pahu pahu a me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni plastik, kahi e hakakā nei nā mīkini.Aia ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i ka lewa a me ka lepo mānoanoa ma ke ala.He MRF pāʻoihana ʻo Green Recycling: lawe ʻia ka ʻōpala mai nā kula, nā koleke a me nā ʻoihana kūloko.ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā palena, no ka mea hiki i ka hui ke hoʻopiʻi pololei i nā mea kūʻai aku a mālama i ka mana ma luna o kāna mea e hōʻiliʻili ai."ʻO ka ʻoihana e pili ana i ka hoʻohuli ʻana i ka mauʻu i gula," wahi a Smith, e pili ana iā Rumpelstiltskin."Akā paʻakikī - a ua lilo ia i mea paʻakikī loa."
Ma ka hopena o ka laina ka mīkini a Smith i manaʻo ai e hoʻololi i kēlā.I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua lilo ʻo Green Recycling i MRF mua loa ma UK e hoʻopukapuka kālā ma Max, he mīkini hoʻokaʻina akamai i hana ʻia e US.I loko o kahi pahu akaka nui ma luna o ka mea lawe, kahi lima hoʻoheheʻe robotic i kaha ʻia ʻo FlexPickerTM e hoʻopaʻa ana i hope a i waho ma luna o ke kāʻei, e ʻohi me ka luhi ʻole."E ʻimi mua ana ʻo ia i nā ʻōmole plastik," wahi a Smith."Hana ʻo ia i 60 mau koho i hoʻokahi minuke.E koho nā kānaka ma waena o 20 a 40, i ka lā maikaʻi.ʻIke ʻia kahi ʻōnaehana pahupaʻikiʻi i ka ʻōpala e holo ana, e hōʻike ana i kahi haki kikoʻī ma kahi pale kokoke.ʻAʻole i manaʻo ʻia ka mīkini e pani i ke kanaka, akā e hoʻonui iā lākou."Ke ʻohi nei ʻo ia i ʻekolu tona o ka ʻōpala i ka lā a i ʻole e haʻalele kā mākou poʻe kānaka," wahi a Smith.ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hana ka robot i kahi hana kanaka hou e mālama ai: hana ʻia kēia e Danielle, ka mea i kapa ʻia e ka hui ʻo "Max's mum".ʻO nā pōmaikaʻi o ka automation, ʻōlelo ʻo Smith, ʻelua mau mea: ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea kūʻai aku a me ka liʻiliʻi o ka ʻōpala e pono ai ka hui e uku i ke ahi ma hope.He lahilahi nā palena a ʻo ka ʻauhau ʻāina he £91 hoʻokahi tona.

Ma Recycling Technologies 'pilot plant ma Swindon, ʻo ka plastic ('ōlelo ʻo Griffiths hiki iā ia ke hana i kēlā me kēia ʻano) ua hānai ʻia i loko o ke keʻena pohā kila kiʻekiʻe, kahi i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ai i nā wela kiʻekiʻe loa i loko o ke kinoea a me ka aila, plaxx, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he. wahie a meaʻai paha no ka plastic hou.ʻOiai ua huli ke ʻano o ka honua i ka plastic, ʻo Griffiths kahi mea pale ʻole ia."Ua hana maoli ka ʻeke plastik i kahi lawelawe koʻikoʻi no ka honua, no ka mea ua hōʻemi ia i ka nui o ke aniani, metala a me ka pepa a mākou e hoʻohana nei," wahi āna."ʻO ka mea e hopohopo nui nei iaʻu ma mua o ka pilikia plastic ka hoʻomehana honua.Inā hoʻohana ʻoe i ke aniani, ʻoi aku ka metala, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o kēlā mau mea waiwai.Ua hoʻomaka ka hui i kahi hoʻolālā hoʻokolokolo me Tesco a ke hana nei i kahi hale lua, ma Scotland.ʻO ka hopena, manaʻo ʻo Griffiths e kūʻai aku i nā mīkini i nā hale hana hou a puni ka honua."Pono mākou e ho'ōki i ka hoʻouna ʻana i ka hana hou ʻana ma waho," wahi āna."ʻAʻole pono kahi hui civili e hoʻopau i kāna ʻōpala i kahi ʻāina e ulu nei."
Aia ke kumu no ka manaʻo maikaʻi: i Dekemaba 2018, ua paʻi ke aupuni UK i kahi hoʻolālā ʻōpala hou, ma ka pane ʻana i ka National Sword.Ma waena o kāna mau manaʻo: he ʻauhau ma luna o ka paʻi palaki i loaʻa ma lalo o 30% mea hana hou;he ʻōnaehana hōʻailona maʻalahi;a ʻo ia hoʻi ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i nā ʻoihana e lawe i ke kuleana no ka ʻeke plastik a lākou e hana ai.Manaʻo lākou e koi aku i ka ʻoihana e hoʻopukapuka i nā ʻōnaehana hana hou ma ka home.

Aia paha kahi ʻokoʻa.Ma muli o ka lawe ʻana mai o Blue Planet II i ka pilikia palaki i ko mākou nānā ʻana, ke ala hou mai nei kahi kālepa make i Pelekane: ka mea hānai waiū.ʻOi aku ka nui o mākou e koho i nā ʻōmole waiū e hāʻawi ʻia, hōʻiliʻili a hoʻohana hou ʻia.Ke ulu mai nei nā hiʻohiʻona like: nā hale kūʻai ʻōpala ʻole e koi iā ʻoe e lawe i kāu mau ipu ponoʻī;ka boom i nā kīʻaha a me nā ʻōmole.Me he mea lā ua hoʻomanaʻo mākou ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa wale ʻia ka slogan kaiapuni kahiko "E hōʻemi, hoʻohana hou, hana hou", akā ua helu ʻia ma ke ʻano o ka makemake.

ʻO ka nui o nā hoʻolālā Loop i kamaʻāina: nā ʻōmole aniani hoʻopiha hou o Coca-Cola a me Tropicana;nā ʻōmole alumini o Pantene.Akā ke noʻonoʻo hou ʻia nei nā mea ʻē aʻe."Ma ka neʻe ʻana mai ka mea hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia, wehe ʻoe i nā manawa hoʻolālā epic," wahi a Szaky.Eia kekahi laʻana: Ke hana nei ʻo Unilever i nā papa niho niho e hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i loko o ka wai kahe;Hiki mai ka hau hau ʻo Häagen-Dazs i loko o ka ipu hao kuhili ʻole e noho anu lōʻihi no ka pīniki.ʻO nā mea hoʻopuka e hele mai i loko o kahi ʻeke insulated i hoʻolālā ʻia, e ʻoki iho i ka pahu pahu.
Ua kākau inoa ʻo Tina Hill, kahi mea kākau kope ma Paris, iā Loop ma hope koke o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana ma Farani."He mea maʻalahi loa," wahi āna.“He waihona liʻiliʻi, €3 [no kēlā me kēia pahu].ʻO kaʻu makemake e pili ana i ia mea, aia nā mea aʻu i hoʻohana mua ai: ʻaila ʻoliva, holoi holoi.Ua wehewehe ʻo Hill iā ia iho he "ʻōmaʻomaʻo nani: hana hou mākou i nā mea āpau i hiki ke hana hou ʻia, kūʻai mākou i nā mea kūlohelohe".Ma ka hoʻohui ʻana iā Loop me ke kūʻai ʻana ma nā hale kūʻai ʻole-waste kūloko, ua kōkua ʻo Hills i kona ʻohana e hōʻemi loa i kona hilinaʻi ʻana i ka ʻeke hoʻohana hoʻokahi."ʻO ka ʻaoʻao wale nō ka hiki ke kiʻekiʻe iki nā kumukūʻai.ʻAʻole mākou manaʻo e hoʻolilo liʻiliʻi hou aʻe e kākoʻo i nā mea āu e manaʻoʻiʻo ai, akā ma kekahi mau mea, e like me ka pasta, ua pāpā ʻia.

ʻO ia ka mea e pono ai ke hoʻololi.He mea hoʻowalewale ka ʻike ʻana i ka ʻilika i hōʻiliʻili ʻia ma nā ʻāina ʻāina ʻo Malaysia a manaʻo ʻo ka hana hou ʻana he hoʻopau manawa, akā ʻaʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo.Ma UK, he moʻolelo kūleʻa ka hana hou ʻana, a ʻoi aku ka hewa o nā mea ʻē aʻe - puhi i kā mākou ʻōpala a kanu paha.Ma kahi o ka ha'alele 'ana i ka hana hou 'ana, 'ōlelo mai 'o Szaky, pono kākou a pau e ho'ohana li'ili'i, e ho'ohana hou i ka mea hiki a mālama i kā mākou 'ōpala e like me ka 'ike 'ana o ka 'ōpala: ma ke 'ano he kumu waiwai.ʻAʻole ka hopena o kekahi mea, akā ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kekahi mea ʻē aʻe.
“ʻAʻole mākou e kapa ʻia he ʻōpala;kapa mākou he mau mea waiwai,” wahi a Green Recycling's Smith, hoʻi ma Maldon.Ma lalo o ka pā, ke hoʻouka ʻia nei kahi kaʻa kaʻa me 35 mau bale o ka pahu pahu i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia.Mai ʻaneʻi, e hoʻouna ʻo Smith iā ia i kahi wili ma Kent no ka pulping.He mau pahu pahu hou ia i loko o ʻelua pule – a ʻo ka ʻōpala a kekahi ma hope koke iho.
