环保袋真的环保吗?不彻底是。究竟证实,鼎力推广棉布环保袋现实上可能致使了一个新问题。

双语浏览

An organic cottontoteneeds to be used 20,000 times to offset its overall impact of production, according to a 2018 study by the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark. That equates to daily use for 54 years — for just one bag. According to that metric, if all 25 of her totes were organic, Ms. Berry would have to live for more than a thousand years to offset her current arsenal. (The study has not beenpeer-reviewed.)

按照丹麦情况和食物部2018年的一项钻研,一个有机棉环保袋必要被利用2万次才能抵消出产它所发生的总体影响。这至关于天天都利用统一个袋子,要用54年才行。照如许计较,若是贝瑞的25个环保袋都是有机棉的,她将必要活一千多年才能抵消她今朝的环保袋库存带来的影响。(该钻研还没有颠末同业评审。)

“Cotton is so water intensive,” said Travis Wagner, an environmental science professor at the University of Maine. It’s also associated with , thanks to revelations about the treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, China, which produces 20 percent of the world’s cotton and supplies most Westernfashionbrands. Andfiguring outhow to dispose of a tote in an environmentally low-impact way is not nearly as simple as people think.

“棉花很是耗水,”缅因大学情况科学传授特拉维斯·瓦格纳说。(因国度相干划定,内容没法显示)。全球20%的棉花由新疆出产,并为大大都西方时尚品牌供货。要弄清晰若何抛弃环保袋才能低落对情况酿成的影响,其实不像人们想象的那末简略。

You can’t, for example, just put a tote in acompostbin: Maxine Bédat, a director at the New Standard Institute, a nonprofit focused on fashion and sustainability, said she has “yet to find a municipal compost that will accept textiles.” And only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton produced every year actually makes its way to textile depositories.

比方,你不克不及把环保袋就如许放入堆肥箱中:专注于时尚和可延续成长的非营利组织新尺度钻研所的主管马克辛·贝达特说,她“还没有找到可以接管纺织品的都会堆肥”。每一年出产的3000万吨棉花中,只有15%真正进入了纺织品堆栈。

Even when a tote does make it to a treatment plant, most dyes used to print logos onto them are PVC-based and thus not recyclable; they’re “extremely difficult to break down chemically,” said Christopher Stanev, the co-founder of Evrnu, a Seattle-based textile recyclingfirm. Printed patterns have to be cut out of the cloth; Mr. Stanev estimates 10 to 15 percent of the cotton Evrnu receives is wasted this way.

案必需从布上剪下来;斯塔内夫估量,Evrnu收到的棉花中有10%-15%由于这个缘由被挥霍。

The cotton tote dile妹妹a, said Laura Balmond, a project manager for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Make Fashion Circular campaign, is “a really good example of unintended consequences of people trying to make positive choices, and not understanding the fulllandscape.”

艾伦·麦克阿瑟基金会的“让时尚轮回”勾当的项目司理劳拉·巴尔蒙德暗示,棉布环保袋的两难窘境“是一个很是好的例子,阐明人们试图做出踊跃的选择,却没有领会总体环境,这致使了意想不到的后果”。
