Is Your Packaging Truly Safe?

Uma uqhuba ibhizinisi lokudla, ukuphepha kokupakisha kungaphezu nje kwemininingwane—kuthinta impilo, ukwethembana, nokuhambisana. Kodwa ungaqiniseka kanjani ukuthi izinto ozisebenzisayo ziphephile? Okunye ukupakisha kungase kubukeke kukuhle noma kuzizwe kuvumelana nemvelo, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi kuphephile ukuthinta ukudla. Noma ngabe uthengisa izinto ezibhakiwe, ukudla okudlayo, noma ukudla okulula, udinga ukupakishwa okulandela imithetho yokuphepha kokudla.

At I-Tuobo Packaging, sisiza izinhlobo zokudla ekudaleniukupakishwa kwebanga lokudla ngokwezifisoehlangabezana nemithetho futhi futhi isekela isithombe somkhiqizo wakho.

Uyazi Uma Ukupakisha Kwakho Kuphephile Ngempela Ukudla?

Masikhulume iqiniso—ugcine nini ngempelakuhloliweuma ukupakisha kwakho bekuphephile ekudleni? Angikhulumi ngokuthatha ngokuthi yingoba “ibukeka ihlanzekile” noma inaleyo vibe encane, ephilayo wonke umuntu ayithandayo. Ngishongempelaukwazi-ingakwazi ukuphatha isobho elishisayo? Amakhekhe anamafutha? Isonto efrijini?

Ukuqhuba ibhizinisi lokupakisha njenge-Tuobo Packaging, sikubone konke. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, iketango elincane lekhofi esasisebenza nalo la-oda izikhwama zesemishi ezinhle ze-kraft komunye umphakeli. Ayebukeka emuhle ngaphandle—uphawu olulula, umbala womhlaba—kodwa amakhasimende azo aqala ukuqaphela amabala anamafutha avuza ngaphansi.

Okubi kakhulu? Isikhwama esisodwa sasikhipha iphunga lepulasitiki eliyinqaba lapho sithinta ithosi elishisayo. Lelo klayenti lafika kithi ngokuthuka. Kuvele ukuthi izikhwama azizange ziqinisekiswe ukuthi zithintana ngqo nokudla. Lokho akukona ukuhluleka kokupakisha—lokho kuyinhlekelele yomkhiqizo.

Ngakho nansi into: akuzona zonke izikhwama zephepha, amathreyi epulasitiki, noma amabhokisi avundisiwe adalwe alingana. Ukuphepha kokudla akusona isici sebhonasi—kuyisiqalo.

Yini Ngempela Ebaluleke Njengokuthi Kuphephile Ukudla?

Kunomehluko omkhulu phakathi “kobungani bemvelo” kanye “nokuphepha kokudla.” Ukuthi into ethile ibolile akusho ukuthi ngeke ikhiphe amakhemikhali lapho ishiswa.

Amaphakheji aphephile ekudleni kufanele azinze. Lokho kusho ukuthi akukho ukusabela okuxakile uma kuhlangana namafutha, i-asidi, umswakama, noma ukushisa. Awekho ama-coatings afihliwe. Azikho izinsimbi ezisindayo. Futhi nakanjani azikho izithasiselo ezingagunyaziwe ezifanaPFAS. Uma ungakaze uzwe ngalokho, unenhlanhla—imikhiqizo eminingi yokudla yafunda kabuhlungu lapho izihloko zezindaba zithinta amakhemikhali avinjelwe avela ezitsheni “zemvelo” zokuthutha.

Izimpawu Ziyasiza—Kodwa Kuphela Uma Uyazi Ukuthi Zisho Ukuthini

Ake ngiqagele: uke wayibona ingilazi encane yewayini kanye nophawu lwemfoloko ngaphambilini, akunjalo? Yindawo yokumaka izinto eziphephile ukuthintana nokudla. Kodwa kuthiwani ngamalebula afana ne-“LFGB” noma “EN 13432”?

Lapho sithumela yethuizikhwama zokudla zamaphepha ngokwezifiso or izikhwama zephepha lokubhaka, sihlala sihlanganisa imibhalo yokuthobela imithetho—ngezinye izikhathi okubaluleke ngaphezu kwalokho okuphrintwe ephaketheni ngokwalo. Izimpawu zinhle, kodwa amaphepha akhuluma kakhulu. Uma umphakeli wakho engakwazi ukukunikeza imibiko yokuhlola, lelo umaka wakho obomvu wokuqala.

Iziphi Izinto Ozisebenzisayo Empeleni?

Masiyihlephule ngaphandle kwejagoni.

Ipulasitiki (PP, PET, HDPE): Uma kuyibanga elilungile, kuhle. Kodwa ngibone abantu be-oda izikhwama ezishibhile ezicacile ku-inthanethi, bengazi ukuthi zenzelwe ihadiwe, hhayi ukudla.
Iphepha/Ikhadibhodi: Kuphephile ekudleni kuphela uma ulashwe ngendlela efanele. Amanye ama-coatings amelana nowoyela aqukethe izinto ongazifuni eduze nesidlo sakho sasemini.
I-Bagasse (I-Sugarcane fiber): Ngiyayithanda le nto. Saqala ukunikelaiziqukathi ze-bagassengemva kokuba i-juice bar eYurophu icele izitsha ezingenapulasitiki ezingaphatha ukhari oshisayo. Isebenze njengentelezi. Akukho ukuvuza, awekho amakhemikhali, angavundisi ngokugcwele.
Ingilazi, i-Aluminium, insimbi: Kunzima ukungahambi kahle lapha. Abazenzisi. Okuhlala isikhathi eside. Kodwa ifaneleka kakhulu ekufakweni okuphezulu noma okusebenziseka kabusha.

Okufanele Ukubuze Ngaphambi Kokuthenga

Siye sathola abathengi beza kithi ngemva kwezinhlekelele—izikhwama ezincibilikisiwe, amabhokisi anamafutha, ngisho nokungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile. Ngakho manje, ungahlala ubabuza:

Uphi umbiko wokuhlola?
Ingabe lokhu okubalulekile ku-microwave-kuphephile?
Ingabe iqukethe i-PFAS?(Ungamangala ukuthi bangaki abasakwenza.)
Ngingazama isampula ngokudla kwangempela kuqala?

Elinye lamakhasimende ethu amasha lisebenzisa uhlobo lwamadombolo oluqandisiwe. Bahlole izitsha zethu ngomhluzi oshisayo ngaphambi koku-oda. Kungani? Ngoba iqoqo lokugcina eliphuma komunye umphakeli livuleka lavuleka emanzini abilayo. Yayingaklanyelwe ukushisa—kodwa akekho owabatshela lokho.

Kungani ama-Brand amaningi athembela i-Bagasse

Ngiyazi ukuthi ngike ngakusho ngaphambili, kodwa angikakaqedi ukucula izingoma ze-bagasse. Lokhu akukhona nje ukuvuthwa. Uma yenziwe kahle, i-bagasse ayikwazi ukumelana nokushisa, imelana nowoyela, futhi inamandla.

Futhi isekelwe ezitshalweni. Ayinemibala yezitshalo. Hhayi "kubukeka njengemvelo." Itisimvelo.

Sasebenza ngochungechunge lwe-taco olusheshayo e-Spain olwalufuna iziqukathi ze-clamshell ezikwazi ukugcwalisa okushisayo, okunoshukela kodwa zingafuni ipulasitiki. Sahambisa izikhwama eziqinisekisiwe ezazihlala zisuka ekhishini ziye kulethwe—zingekho i-sogginess, azikho iphunga lamakhemikhali.

Yilolo hlobo lwamakhasimende okupakishakhumbula.

Umcabango Wokugcina: Themba, Kodwa Qinisekisa

Bheka, ukupakisha kungenza noma kuphule umkhiqizo wakho. Umbala, ukuphrinta, isikhathi se-unboxing—konke kunendaba. Kodwa uma leyo phakheji ingakwazi ukubamba ngokuphephile ukudla kwakho, akunandaba ukuthi kuhle kangakanani.

Kwa-Tuobo Packaging, sichithe iminyaka sithola izinto eziphephile nezifanele igama. Kusukaizikhwama ze-bagel ze-logo ngokwezifisokuma-compostable aqinisekiswe ngokugcwele, sikusiza ukuthi uhlole wonke amabhokisi—ukuklama, ukuphepha, nokusimama.

Ungalindi isikhalazo sekhasimende ukuze uthole ukuthi kukhona okungalungile. Buza imibuzo enzima ngaphambili. Uwuvikela kanjalo umkhiqizo wakhofuthiisithunzi sakho.

Kusukela ngo-2015, besilokhu singabagqugquzeli bemikhiqizo yomhlaba wonke engu-500+, siguqula ukupakisha kube izishayeli zenzuzo. Njengomkhiqizi ohlanganisiwe oqonde ngqo ovela e-China, sisebenza ngokukhethekile kuzixazululo ze-OEM/ODM ezisiza amabhizinisi afana nelakho ukuzuza ukuthengiswa okungafika ku-30% ngokuhlukanisa amaphakheji.
