節(jié)能減排的話題越來越熱,現(xiàn)在各類商品都出現(xiàn)新型的環(huán)保品類,就連洗手液都有環(huán)??盍恕?/p>

斯德哥爾摩的這家公司 Forgo 就是做這個的,而他們的環(huán)保洗手液有什么不同呢?他們賣給你的其實(shí)只是一包包原料粉,你需要自己在家加水調(diào)配出洗手液。

你知道這種模式為什么環(huán)保嗎?

?

When?you buy a supply of Forgo’s new liquid hand wash,? you won’t get a single-use plastic bottle, just a small envelope.?
在你購買Forgo新款洗手液的時候,你拿到的只是一個(裝了東西的)小信封,而不是一次性塑料瓶裝洗手液。

But if you tear open the paper sachet, pour the powder inside into a reusable bottle, add tap water, and shake, you’ll have foaming hand wash in less than a minute.
但如果你撕開這個紙袋,把里面的粉末倒入可重復(fù)使用的瓶子里,加入自來水,然后搖一搖,不到一分鐘你就會得到一瓶泡沫洗手液。

Forgo is an in-house project from the Stockholm-based design studio Form Us With Love, and the soap is just the first in a line of products that the company wants to redesign to shrink packaging waste.?
Forgo洗手液是一家斯德哥爾摩設(shè)計(jì)工作室Form Us With Love(愛與我們在一起)推出的一個內(nèi)部項(xiàng)目。該公司想重新設(shè)計(jì)產(chǎn)品以減少包裝垃圾,而這種肥皂只是這一系列的第一款產(chǎn)品。

“Our methodology is applicable to everything from deodorant to toothpaste to shampoos and face wash and conditioner and so on,” says Allon Libermann, who is leading the project at the design firm. “We are looking to accelerate the process of transforming all of those products into this kind of thinking.”

“我們的方法適用于除臭劑、牙膏、洗發(fā)水、洗面奶、護(hù)發(fā)素等各種產(chǎn)品,”該設(shè)計(jì)公司這一項(xiàng)目的負(fù)責(zé)人阿隆·利伯曼說道?!拔覀兿M堰@種思維應(yīng)用于所有的這些產(chǎn)品上,并加快這一過程?!?/div>

It’s one of multiple ways that companies are now rethinking disposable packaging, recognizing that less than 5% of plastic is recycled, and a growing amount of plastic waste is ending up in the ocean (and our food chain).?
如今眾多公司已意識到可回收的塑料不足5%,而且越來越多的塑料垃圾最終流入大海(并進(jìn)入我們的食物鏈),因此他們也在重新考慮一次性包裝改造的方式,而這是其中的一種。

Major brands are experimenting with a new model for reusable packaging that customers ship back for refills.?
各大品牌都在試驗(yàn)可重復(fù)使用的包裝的新模式,由顧客把包裝送回以重新使用。

Grove Collaborative, a startup that launched last year, sells reusable glass bottles and refills in lightweight, recyclable plastic pouches.?
去年成立的初創(chuàng)公司Grove Collaborative(美國互聯(lián)網(wǎng)環(huán)保日化品牌)出售可重復(fù)使用的玻璃瓶和裝在輕質(zhì)可回收塑料袋中的補(bǔ)充裝材料。

Another startup, By Humankind, sells refills for products like mouthwash that comes in tablets that customers can drop in a bottle.??
另一家初創(chuàng)公司By Humankind(一家直接面向消費(fèi)者的個人護(hù)理品牌)出售漱口水這類產(chǎn)品的補(bǔ)充裝材料,其產(chǎn)品是片劑,顧客可以丟進(jìn)瓶子里(之后加水使用)。

A cleaning product startup called Truman’s sells small refill cartridges that pop into the top of bottles.?

Amazon launched a similar in-house line with refill “pods” that attach to the bottom of a reusable bottle. Unilever sells an ultraconcentrated liquid refill for one of its European cleaning brands.?

亞馬遜也推出了類似的內(nèi)部產(chǎn)品線,在可回收瓶子的底部裝上了可重新填充的“容器”。聯(lián)合利華為其旗下的歐洲清潔品牌之一推出了超濃縮液體補(bǔ)充裝材料。

A new brand called Blueland sells reusable bottles and tablets that can be added to water to create cleaning products. And the list goes on.
一個名為Blueland的新品牌出售可重復(fù)使用的瓶子和可放入水中制成清潔用品的片劑。這樣的例子不勝枚舉。

多知道一點(diǎn):

運(yùn)輸過程中的環(huán)保

除了包裝層面的節(jié)能減排,這種新型的洗手液還在運(yùn)輸過程中起到了減排作用。

洗手液這一類日用品中都含有大量的水,而水是很重的,在運(yùn)輸過程中要消耗很多能源。改成直接運(yùn)輸原料之后能節(jié)約很大一部分運(yùn)輸中的能源消耗。
