It
should be one of the main goals in today's society to reduce plastic
consumption. Though many believe recycling will solve the problem, and continue
using plastic, it's actually the opposite. In 2013, 254 million tonnes of trash
was produced in the U.S. alone, and only around 30% was recycled. This means
the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years.
Now
Asian countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, are looking for new ideas to
avoid plastic. One of those ideas was a new, eco-friendly way to pack their
goods by avoiding plastic packaging. One of Perfect Homes Chiangmai's team
members noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called
Rimping Supermarket was using. Little did he know that people all around the
world would absolutely love this idea. "I just popped in to get a few
items while we were waiting to sign some contracts with our lawyer, who was
delayed. When I noticed the vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and simply
liked the idea. So I took a few pictures and posted them online, he said.
With
more than 3.5 million views and over 17 thousand shares, the idea became
something people can encourage more supermarkets to implement (实施).
Some
have noticed that not everything on the shelves is completely plastic-free to
which the supermarket responded that they are taking one step at a time, but
it's not that easy. Many products come to the supermarkets pre-packaged and
many companies are interested in wrapping their produce in plastic since it is
the cheapest and the easiest option.
It's
now up to the shoppers to show the supermarket which they prefer. If everyone
opts for the banana leaf packaging, they will probably stop stocking the items
in plastic.
