No ke kaiapuni honua, ke hoʻāʻo nei mākou i ka mea maikaʻi loa e hoʻomohala i nā mea hoʻomau a me nā mea hou. Ma hope o nā makahiki o ka noiʻi, ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi mea hou e hiki ke hoʻokō pono i ka pono no ke kūʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa a kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka renewability- Eucalyptus.
E like me kā mākou ʻike, ʻike pinepine ʻia ka lole Eucalyptus ma ke ʻano he mea ʻokoʻa ʻē aʻe i ka pulupulu, akā pehea ka paʻa ʻana? Hiki ke hoʻololi hou? Kaulike?
Nahele Hoʻomau
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā lāʻau Eucalyptus he mea ulu wikiwiki, e ulu ana ma kahi o 6 a 12 kapuaʻi (1.8-3.6 m.) a ʻoi aku paha i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ma keʻano laulā, e ulu ʻo ia i loko o 5 a 7 mau makahiki ma hope o ke kanu ʻana. No laila, hiki i ka Eucalyptus ke lilo i mea ʻokoʻa kūpono kūpono i ka pulupulu inā kanu ʻia ma ke ala kūpono.
Akā, he aha ke ala kūpono o ka mahiko? Ma ke kaulahao hana Besuper, ua hōʻoia ʻia kā mākou ʻōnaehana mahiko e CFCC(= China Forest Certification Council) a me PEFC(= Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes), e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka hoʻomau ʻana i kā mākou mahiko Eucalyptus. Ma 1Mn ʻeka o ko mākou ʻāina no ka ulu lāʻau, i kēlā me kēia manawa a mākou e ʻoki ai i nā kumulāʻau Eucalyptus makua e hana i ka pulp lāʻau, e kanu koke mākou i ka helu like o Eucalyptus. Ma lalo o kēia ʻōnaehana kanu, paʻa ka nahele ma ka ʻāina a mākou.
Pehea ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo o ka lole Eucalyptus?
ʻO Eucalyptus ma ke ʻano he diaper mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Lyocell, i hana ʻia mai ka pulp o nā lāʻau Eucalyptus. A ʻo ke kaʻina hana Lyocell e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ka ʻoluʻolu. Eia kekahi, e hōʻemi i ka hopena o ke kaiapuni, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohana hou i ka 99% o ka solvent i manaʻo ʻia ʻaʻole ʻona no ka ea, ka wai a me nā kānaka. Hoʻohana hou ʻia ka wai a me ka ʻōpala i loko o kā mākou ʻōnaehana pani pani e mālama i ka wai a me ka ikehu.
Ma waho aʻe o ke kaʻina hana, ʻo ka topsheet+backsheet o kā mākou diapers i hana ʻia mai Lyocell fiber he 100% bio-based a he 90 mau lā bio-degradable.
Palekana anei ʻo Lyocell no nā kānaka?
Ma ke ʻano o ka poʻe, ʻaʻohe mea ʻawaʻawa ke kaʻina hana, a ʻaʻole pili nā kaiāulu i ka pollution. Eia kekahi, ma kēia ʻano o ka ululāʻau hoʻomau, hāʻawi ʻia ka nui o nā manawa hana a hoʻonui ʻia ka ʻoihana kūloko.
No laila, ʻike ʻia ʻo Lyocell he 100% pōʻino no nā kānaka. A ua hāʻawi ka European Union(EU) i ka Lyocell process i ka Environmental Award 2000 ma ka māhele 'Technology for Sustainable Development'.
No ka hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻana i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku, ua loaʻa iā mākou nā palapala hōʻoia hoʻomau i ka wā o ke ola o ka huahana - CFCC, PEFC, USDA, BPI, etc.
Hana ʻia nā diapers mai ka lole Eucalyptus maikaʻi?
He lāʻau ulu wikiwiki ʻo Eucalyptus me ka hiki ke lilo i mea pili i ka kaiaola no ka ʻoihana diaper - ua ʻike ʻia hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e hana i kahi lole maʻamau e hanu, e hoʻoheheʻe a palupalu.
ʻO ka mea hou aʻe, ʻo nā diapers i hana ʻia mai ka lole Eucalyptus ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā haumia, nā ʻili a me nā fluffs.
I loko o nā makahiki, ua kūpaʻa mākou i ka hana ʻana i ka eco-friendly a hoʻāʻo e hoʻokō i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku i ka manawa like. Manaʻolana hiki iā ʻoe ke hui pū me mākou a mālama i ko mākou honua me mākou!
