Kodwa kukhona isisindo esiphezulu: imithwanciso ecolofe. Lezi zinhlanzi yenziwa ngemisebenzi yangena ngemisebe kwaHlabeni, kusukela ekutholeni izilindele kuya kwenziwa nekuphathwa. Ukukhetha imithwanciso ecolofe ayiyona kuphela indlela yokuqinisa izindlela zokuphelela, ukunciphisa ukuphambene, nokutshelela umhlaba ongasemthethweni. Ake sikhulume ngokuthi yini lezi zinhlanzi zihlukile, kungani zibaluleke, njengoba ziyenza is industri.
Yini Ecolofe Imithwanciso?
Imithwanciso ecolofe yizinto ezifakwe ngokuthi zenzeke kakhulu kumoya wokuphila kwazo konke. Lokhu kufaka phakathi indlela abeza ngayo noma zifakwa kanjani, indlela ziyakhiwa ngazo umlamlilo, futhi ukuthatha kwezikhathi ezingasebenzi.
Ngokuhluke nendalo yemlamlilo—njengokwehla engqangqisweni, eyisebenzisa amanzi angaphezu kanye nezithixo zokulima—imlamlilo embulawa yenqaba ukuphepha. Isb., ukwehla oqiniso kufakwa ngezithixo noma izilwane zokulima, ukulungisa umhlaba namanzi. I-Polyester ephindekile ifakwa kumanzi aphethwe, enikeza ukuphila okwesibili kwehlukile kanti kungase kuhlukaniswa kwezindlela noma kamanzi.
Amaqoqo amanye amlamlilo embulawa afakela phakathi i-hemp, i-linen, i-Tencel (lyocell), nebamboo (lapho kufakwa kanye nokugcwala ngendlela engqondile). Okukhanya kwazo konke ukunciphisa ukusebenzisa izindleko, ukungena kwezithixo eziphambene, futhi ukunciphisa ukungena kwesibonelo.
Indlela Amaqoqo Amabulawa Amlamlilo Akusiza i-Planet
Ukukhiqizwa kwezindwangu zendabuko kulimaza iplanethi ngezindlela eziningi. Ngokwesibonelo, ukotini ovamile uhlanganisa amaphesenti angu-2 kuphela omhlaba olimiwe kodwa usebenzisa amaphesenti angu-16 ezibulala-zinambuzane emhlabeni wonke namaphesenti angu-7 ezibulala-zinambuzane, okuwushevu womhlabathi nezindlela zamanzi. Kudingeka futhi amalitha amanzi angaba ngu-2.700 ukuze kwenziwe isikibha esisodwa sikakotiniesanele ukuba umuntu oyedwa asiphuze iminyaka engu-2.5.
Izindwangu ezingasebenzi kabi emvelweni zibhekana nalezi zinkinga ngokuqondile:
- Ukonga amanzi : Ukotini we-organic usebenzisa amanzi angaphansi ngo-91% kunokotini ovamile ngoba uncika emanzini emvula esikhundleni sokunisela. Izindwangu ezinjenge-hemp nelineni zikhula kahle ezimweni ezomile, zidinga amanzi ambalwa noma azidingi lutho olwengeziwe.
- Ukwehlisa amakhemikhali : Izindwangu ezingenabala zigwema izibulala-zinambuzane, izibulala-zinambuzane kanye nodayi. Abalimi bakakotini abalima ngokwemvelo basebenzisa izindlela zemvelo zokulawula izinambuzane, njengokuhlwanyela izitshalo ezihambisana nazo ezixosha izinambuzane. Amadayi emvelo, enziwe ngezitshalo noma amaminerali, athatha indawo yamakhemikhali anobuthi angcolisa imifula futhi alimaze izilwane zasendle.
