Kalamazoo, Michigan – Xa umatshini omtsha wobungakanani besakhiwo uqaliswa kule nyanga, uya kuqalisa ukuguqula iintaba zekhadibhodi ehlaziyiweyo kwikhadibhodi elungele ukupakishwa kokusingqongileyo.
Le projekthi ye-600 yezigidi zeerandi yimveliso yokuqala entsha yekhadibhodi eyakhiwe e-United States kumashumi eminyaka.Imele ukubheja okukhulu kwe-2.54% yomnini we-Graphic Packaging Holding Co. GPK, ukubheja ukuba akuyi kubakho iikomityi ze-foam, izitya ze-clamshell zeplastiki okanye i-Piece ye-ring ezintandathu.
I-Graphic inethemba lokubonelela ngokupakisha okuhambelana nokusingqongileyo ukuze iinkampani zempahla yabathengi ezithenga iimveliso zayo zikhuthaze ukuhanjiswa kwekhonkco elicocekileyo kubatyali-mali babo kunye nabathengi.Inkampani yathi kanye i-Graphic ivala oomatshini abane abancinci nabancinci, kuquka enye kwi-100 yayo- I-Kalamazoo complex enonyaka ubudala, iya kusebenzisa amanzi amancinci kunye nombane kwaye inciphise izindlu zokugcina izityalo nge-20%.Ukukhutshwa kwerhasi.
Njengoko i-acronym ibonisa, utyalo-mali lwe-ESG lutyale iitriliyoni zeedola kwiimali ezithembisa ukutyala imali ekuqwalaseleni iinjongo zokusingqongileyo, ezentlalo, kunye nolawulo.Oku kwabangela ukuba inkampani isebenze nzima ukunciphisa inkunkuma kunye nokukhutshwa kwegesi ye-greenhouse.
Umzobo uthe utyalo-mali oluluhlaza luvule imarike exabisa ngaphezulu kwe-6 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ngonyaka ukuze kufakwe iplastiki endaweni yephepha kwiishelufa zevenkile, nokuba oku kunokubangela ukuba abathengi babone amaxabiso aphezulu kancinci.
Ukungcakaza kweGraphic luvavanyo olukhulu lokuba ingaba i-torrent ye-ESG yenkunzi inokuguqula ikhonkco lonikezelo.Ukupakishwa kwePlastiki kudla ngexabiso eliphantsi kunephepha, kusebenza ngakumbi kwizicelo ezininzi, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha nokuba nekhabhoni encinci.Iinkampani zeemveliso zabathengi ziya kufuneka zicengwe ukuba abathengi babo baya kuhlawula ngaphezulu, kwaye ukupakishwa kwephepha ngokwenene kuhambelana nokusingqongileyo.
Abaphathi bemizobo baxoxa ngelithi ngaphandle kwekhonkco lokubonelela ngococeko, abathengi babo banamathuba amancinane okufikelela izinto ezikhutshwayo nenkunkuma ekujoliswe kuko.” Uninzi lwezi njongo ziyagqobhoza kuthi, utshilo uStephen Scherger, igosa eliyintloko lezemali.
Ngokubhekiselele kubenzi beplastiki, bathi batyala imali kwitekhnoloji yokuhlaziya kunye nokuqokelelwa kwenkunkuma, kwaye nje ukuba izinto ezinje ngobunzima bokuthutha kunye nokuphepha inkunkuma yokutya zithathelwe ingqalelo, iimveliso zabo zineenzuzo ngaphezulu kwephepha.
Ikomkhulu lomzobo eSandy Springs, eGeorgia, kwaye ithengisa izinto zokupakisha kwezona nkampani zikhulu zokutya, iziselo kunye neemveliso zabathengi eUnited States: iCoca-Cola nePepsi, iKellogg's kunye neGeneral Mills, iNestlé neMars., iKimberly- Clark Corp. kunye I-Procter & Gamble Co..Ishishini layo lebhokisi yebhiya lingenisa malunga ne-1 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kwingeniso ngonyaka ngamnye.Ithengisa malunga ne-13 yeebhiliyoni zeekomityi minyaka le.
Imizobo kunye nabanye abavelisi bekhadibhodi (iqhekeza elinye lekhadibhodi esetyenziselwa ukupakisha) basebenza nzima ukwazisa iimveliso ezintsha, ezifana needyokhwe zefayibha kwiipakethi ezintandathu kunye neepleyiti zesidlo sangokuhlwa se-microwave ezibunjiweyo ukusuka kwikhadibhodi.Umzobo ubhengeze izicwangciso zokuqalisa uthotho lwe iikomityi ezineengubo ezisekelwe emanzini ezithatha indawo ye-polyethylene linings, inyathelo elinye elisondele kwigrail engcwele yeekomityi ezixutywayo.
Xa i-Graphic yazisa izicwangciso zokwakha i-factory entsha yekhadibhodi kwi-2019, abatyali-mali baqala ukubuza iindleko kunye nesidingo.Nangona kunjalo, utyalo-mali oluluhlaza luye lwafumana amandla, kwaye abatyali-mali abatsha baye baxhasa le projekthi.
NgoSeptemba, i-Graphic ithengise i-100 yezigidi zeedola kwizinto ezibizwa ngokuba yi-green bonds ukunceda ukuhlawula.Ufumene ukutyunjwa okuluhlaza ngeprogram yaseMichigan ukukhuthaza izibonelelo zokuphinda zisetyenziswe, zivumela ukuba zithengise amatyala anenzala ngaphandle kokuchatshazelwa yirhafu ye-federal kunye ne-state.Serge uthe i imfuno yeebhondi idlula unikezelo ngamaxesha angama-20.
Kwenye indawo, inkampani yongeza i-100 yezigidi zeedola kwizixhobo kwiplanti yayo eTexarkana, eTexas, ukuguqula i-loblolly pine pulp ibe yikhadibhodi eyomeleleyo yeekomityi kunye namakreyiti ebhiya. ikhadibhodi kwipakethe, ukuzisa inani elipheleleyo kwi-80.NgoNovemba, inkampani ifumene i-US $ 1.45 billion competitor eYurophu, apho iindlela zokupakisha ezizinzileyo zihlala zihlala khona.
Ichithe malunga ne-180 yezigidi zeedola ukuhambisa amaziko amaninzi eLouisiana phantsi kophahla olunye ukunciphisa umgama ohanjwa phakathi kwazo ngezigidi zeemayile ngonyaka ngamnye. Yafakela ibhoyila yokutshisa imiphezulu yemithi kunye nenye inkunkuma ephilayo evela kwiMacon Pine Pulp Mill eGeorgia ukuze isebenze. plant.Ukusetyenziswa kwamandla kunye nokukhutshwa kweefektri ezimbini ezisemazantsi kuye kwachaphazela i-carbon footprint yedyokhwe yekhadibhodi ethengiswa yiGraphic eYurophu ukuba ithathe indawo yokupakisha i-shrink.
NgoJulayi, umphathi we-hedge fund uDavid Einhorn ubonise ukuba i-Greenlight Capital yakhe sele ibambe i-$ 15 yezigidi kwi-Graphics.I-Greenlight iqikelela ukuba amaxabiso ekhadibhodi aya kuqhubeka nokunyuka ngenxa yokutyalomali oluncinane kwimveliso.
"I-United States yongeze umthamo omncinci wokuvelisa amakhadibhodi kangangokuba umyinge wekhadibhodi kweli lizwe uneminyaka engaphezu kwe-30 ubudala," uMnu Einhorn wabhala kwileta eya kubatyali-mali. Wathi imfuno kufuneka inyuke njengoko ukusetyenziswa kunye ne-ESG ikhupha ukususa. iplastiki evela kwikhonkco lokubonelela.
Emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II, iiplastiki zaba yinto yonke, xa ukunqongophala kwezinto zendalo kwabangela ugqatso lweendlela ezizezinye zokwenziwa, kuquka inayiloni neglasi yendalo. Ingxelo ye-2016 yeForam yezoQoqosho lweHlabathi, i-Ellen MacArthur Foundation, kunye noMcKinsey, kuphela i-14% yokupakishwa kweplastiki iqokelelwa ukuze isetyenziswe kwakhona, kwaye kuphela inxalenye yayo ekugqibeleni isetyenziselwa ukwenza iimveliso ezintsha, ngelixa malunga nesinye kwisithathu sokupakishwa kweplastiki. ukupakishwa akuqokelelwanga kwaphela.Ngokutsho kweGoldman Sachs Group Inc. (iGoldman Sachs Group Inc.) epapashwe ngo-2019, yi-12% kuphela yeplastiki ephinda isetyenziswe, ngelixa i-28% itshisiwe kwaye i-60% ihlala kwindawo.
Olu phononongo lukhankanywa rhoqo ngo-2016 luchaze ulwandle olusengxakini, lungcoliswe ziibhotile zesoda, iingxowa zokuthenga, kunye neentsinga zempahla.Umzuzu ngamnye, ilori yenkunkuma iqengqeleka inkunkuma elingana neplastiki emanzini. Uphononongo lwathi ngo-2050, ngokobunzima, kuya kubakho iplastiki eninzi elwandle kuneentlanzi.
Ukulandela ukonakaliswa okuqatha ngabasemagunyeni bakarhulumente ukusuka eCalifornia ukuya eTshayina, abahlalutyi besitokhwe badwelise ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki njengenye yezoyikiso ezinkulu ezijongene neenkampani zempahla ezipakishweyo. kunye neenkampani zangaphandle ezibala amanqaku e-ESG eshishini.
“Kuya kusithatha unyaka wonke ukusebenzisa iplastiki eninzi njengoko isetyenziswa yinkampani yesiselo ephambili kwiiveki nje ezimbini,” latsho igosa eliyintloko lokugcinwa kozinzo kwinkampani evelisa ukutya okuziinkozo iLe's kwinkomfa yotyalo-mali ebutsheni bonyaka ophelileyo.Ukuqhayisa, kuba abaphathi benkampani yesiselo balindele ukuthengisa kubaphulaphuli abafanayo.
Ngo-2019, abaphathi beGraphic babhengeze izicwangciso zokuhlutha isabelo sentengiso kwiiplastiki kunye nokwakha oyena matshini wekhadibhodi ukwinqanaba eliphezulu eKalamazoo. abahlalutyi bempahla.
Nangona kunjalo, nangona inani elikhulu leenkampani zithembisa ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kunye nokunciphisa inkunkuma, kunzima ukuba iifektri ezintsha zithengise.Le yindleko enkulu, kwaye kuya kuthatha iminyaka emibini ukuyifaka kwaye yenze imali.Ngexesha elithile. apho umyinge wexesha lokubamba amasheya libalwa ngeenyanga, iminyaka emibini lixesha elide kubatyalo-mali.
Umphathi weGraphic uMichael Doss (uMichael Doss) ulungiselele ibhodi ukuba ilwe." Ayinguye wonke umntu oza kuyithanda le nto, "ukhumbule.
IGraphic ekuqaleni yayilicandelo leCoors Brewing Co., eColorado, kwaye iibhokisi eziveliswe yinkampani zazingenakumanziswa ziilori ezifakwe efrijini. Ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1990, abakwaCoors banikezela ngeshishini labo lebhokisi kwinkampani yoluntu ezimeleyo. indawo ebalulekileyo kwibhanti yompayina esemazantsi, apho umzi-mveliso wayo wenza ikhadibhodi ngenkunkuma yesarha kunye nemithi eyayingafanelekanga ukuba yenziwe ngamaplanga.
Umzobo uphethe malunga nama-2,400 amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza kwaye unezicelo ezingaphezulu kwama-500 ezisalindileyo ukukhusela uyilo lokupakisha kunye noomatshini abafakwe kwimigca yokuvelisa abathengi ukuze bazalise kwaye basonge iibhokisi.
Abaphathi bayo bathi eyona nto kugxilwe kuyo kuphando kunye nophuhliso kukwandisa ukusetyenziswa kwekhadibhodi ukusuka kwiishelufa zegrosari ukuya kwiivenkile ezithengisa ukutya, iimveliso zezolimo kunye nezipholileyo zebhiya.
Nangona kunjalo, iplastiki inexabiso eliphantsi kunekhadibhodi.Inkqubela phambili yokupakishwa kwamaphepha, njengeekomityi ezixutywayo, inokunyusa iindleko.Abenzi bephepha lephepha baye baphakamisa amaxabiso amaninzi kulo nyaka uphelileyo ukuze bahlawule iindleko zabo ezikhulayo.UAdam Josephson, iphepha kunye nomhlalutyi wokupakisha kwi-KeyBanc. IiMarike zeNkunzi, uthe abanye abathengi bajonga iindlela ezingabizi kakhulu kwikhadibhodi.
Ngaba iinkampani ezifana neGraphic zingakwazi ukuthengisa iimveliso ezininzi xa ixabiso liphezulu kakhulu kuneemveliso esele bezithengisa?UMnu. Josephson wabuza.” Le yingxaki kakhulu.”
Zinokufunda ntoni ezinye iinkampani kumsebenzi wokhuseleko lokusingqongileyo walo mzi-mveliso? Joyina le ncoko ingezantsi.
Kwezinye iinkampani, iindlela eziluhlaza zisebenzisa iplastiki eninzi.Ukupakishwa kweplastiki kukhaphukhaphu kunebhokisi, nto leyo ethetha ukuba amafutha amancinci atshiswayo ngexesha lothutho.Ixabiso lokurisayikilishwa kweplastiki liphantsi ngokwentelekiso, kodwa kuyafana nakwiikomityi zephepha kunye nezikhongozeli ezithathwayo, ezenziweyo. yephepha kodwa idibanise i-polyethylene.Inkqubo yoshishino iyafuneka ukuze kuhlulwe i-pulp enokusetyenziswa kwakhona.
I-Wendy's Co. ichaze ukuba iindawo zokutyela zayo ziya kulahla iikomityi zephepha ezinemigca yeplastiki kulo nyaka uzayo kwaye endaweni yazo zifake iplastiki ebonakalayo, kwaye yathi abathengi abaninzi baza kukwazi ukurisayikilisha. ” utshilo uTom Salmon, iCEO yeBerry Global Group Inc., eyenza iikomityi nge-0.66% yeBerry.
Iphepha alisoloko linekhabhoni encinci.Ukwenza ikhadibhodi kudla umbane kunye namanzi, kwaye kuvelisa iigesi zegreenhouse.
Enye yeemveliso ezintsha zeGraphic ezithembisayo yiKeelClip.Idyokhwe yekhadibhodi isongiwe phezu kwengqayi kwaye inemingxuma yeminwe.Ithatha indawo ngokukhawuleza ukupakishwa kweplastiki kunye namakhonkco amathandathu kwiishelufa zesiselo zaseYurophu. .Umzobo uthi i-carbon footprint yabo imalunga nesiqingatha kuphela sokupakishwa kwe-shrink, eyindlela eqhelekileyo yokupakisha ibhiya eYurophu.
I-Graphic yazisa i-KeelClip e-United States, apho kwafuneka ikhuphisane ne-loop yeplastiki ehlala kuyo yonke indawo ye-6-piece. amashumi eminyaka.Izizukulwana zabantwana besikolo baseMerika ziye zabona iifoto zezilwanyana zasendle ezibanjisiweyo.
I-KeelClip ayifuni ukusebenzisa iiplastiki ezininzi zokupakisha ngexesha lokuthutha, kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuvala umlomo wehlengethwa.Nangona kunjalo, iGraphic yathi i-carbon footprint ye-KeelClip-isixa sokukhutshwa kwemveliso eyenziwa kwinqanaba ngalinye lokuvelisa kunye nokusabalalisa-iphezulu kancinane. kunaleyo yeringi eneziqwenga ezithandathu.
Ngokutsho kwe-Sphera, inkampani yokubonisana ye-ESG eqeshwe yi-Graphic ukuhlalutya ukupakishwa, i-KeelClip nganye ivelisa i-19.32 grams ye-carbon dioxide, ngelixa i-ring yeplastiki iyi-18.96 grams.
Umzobo uthe usebenza nzima ukusombulula le ngxaki. I-DiamondClip, ekwaziwa ngokuba yi-EnviroClip, iphantsi kophuhliso. Le nkampani ithe yomelele ngokwaneleyo ukuba ibambe iibhiya ezibilayo ezintandathu, kodwa ilula ngokwaneleyo ukuba ibe ne-carbon footprint yesiqingatha kuphela umsesane weplastiki.
