I te marama o Oketopa 2025, i uru atu te kamupene hokohoko nui a Walmart ki tētahi hononga hōhonu ki te kamupene pūtaiao rauemi o te ao, a Avery Dennison, hei whakarewa i tētahi otinga hangarau RFID i hangaia mō ngā kai hou. Nā tēnei auahatanga i pakaru ngā arai roa o te whakamahinga o te hangarau RFID i roto i te rāngai kai hou, ā, i whakarato i tētahi akiaki kaha mō te panonitanga matihiko me te whanaketanga pumau o te umanga hokohoko kai.

Mō te wā roa, ko te taiao rokiroki he nui te haumākū me te iti o te pāmahana (pērā i ngā kāpata whakaaturanga mīti kua whakamataohia) he arai nui mō te whakamahinga o te hangarau RFID i roto i te aroturuki i ngā kai hou. Heoi, kua angitu te otinga i whakarewahia ngātahitia e ngā taha e rua ki te wikitoria i tēnei wero hangarau, ā, kua tutuki ai te aroturuki mamati whānui o ngā kāwai kai hou pērā i te mīti, ngā kai tunutunu, me ngā kai kua tunua. Mā ngā tohu kua whakauruhia ki tēnei hangarau ka taea e ngā kaimahi Walmart te whakahaere i ngā taonga i te tere me te tika o mua, te aroturuki i te hou o ngā hua i te wā tūturu, te whakarite kia rawaka te tuku hua ina hiahiatia e ngā kiritaki, me te whakatakoto rautaki whakaheke utu whaitake ake i runga i ngā mōhiohio rā paunga mamati, ā, mā reira ka whakaitihia te nui rawa o ngā taonga.

Mai i te tirohanga uara ahumahi, he nui ngā pānga o te whakatinanatanga o tēnei hangarau. Ki a Walmart, he taahiraa nui tēnei ki te whakatutuki i ana whāinga whanaketanga tauwhiro – kua whakapau kaha a Walmart ki te whakaiti i te tere o te para kai i roto i ana mahi o te ao mā te 50% i te tau 2030. Mā te tautuhi aunoa i te taumata hua, kua tino pai ake te whai huatanga o te whakahaere i te ngaronga o ngā kai hou, kua tino heke ngā utu whakahaere rawa, ā, i te wa ano, ka taea e ngā kaihoko te tiki hua hou me te watea ake, me te whakapai ake i te wheako hokohoko. I kī a Christine Kief, te Tumuaki Tuarua o te Tari Whakawhitiwhiti o Mua o Walmart US: "Me whakangawari ake te oranga o ngā kaimahi me ngā kaihoko mā te hangarau. Whai muri i te whakaiti i ngā mahi ā-ringa, ka taea e ngā kaimahi te whakapau i te wā nui ki te mahi matua o te mahi ki ngā kaihoko."

Kua whakaatu a Ellidon i ōna pūkenga auaha hangarau kaha i roto i tēnei mahi tahi. Ehara i te mea kua whakaratohia e ia he tirohanga whānui me te māramatanga mō te mekameka tuku kai mai i te pūtake ki te toa mā roto i tana kohinga hua otinga Optica anake, engari i ngā wā tata nei kua whakarewahia e ia te tohu RFID tuatahi kua whiwhi i te "Tiwhikete Hoahoa Hangarua" mai i te Plastic Recycling Association (APR). Ka whakamahia e tēnei tohu te hangarau here CleanFlake i whakawhanakehia motuhaketia, ā, ka whakakotahi i ngā mahi RFID matatau. Ka taea te wehewehe ngāwari i te wā e hangarua ana te kirihou PET, e whakaoti ana i te raruraru parahanga o te hangarua PET i Amerika Te Raki, ā, e whakarato ana i te tautoko matua mō te whanaketanga o te takai porowhita.

I whakanui a Julie Vargas, te Tumuaki Tuarua me te Kaiwhakahaere Matua o Adlens Identity Recognition Solutions Company, ko te mahi tahi a ngā rōpū e rua he whakaaturanga o te kawenga tahi i waenganui i te tangata me te Ao – te tuku i tētahi tuakiri matihiko ahurei ki ia hua hou, e kore e whakarei ake i te pai o te whakahaere taonga engari ka whakaiti hoki i te para kai i tōna pūtake. I tohu anō a Pascal Watelle, te Tumuaki Tuarua o te Rangahau Ao me te Whakapūmautanga o te Rōpū Rauemi a te Kamupene, ko te whiwhinga o te tiwhikete APR he tohu i tētahi taahiraa nui mō te hinonga ki te whakatairanga i te huringa rauemi pumau. I te heke mai, ka tautoko tonu a Adlens i ngā kiritaki ki te whakatutuki i ā rātou whāinga hangarua mā te auahatanga.

Hei kaiārahi o te ao i roto i te umanga, e kapi ana te pakihi a Avery Dennison i ngā mara maha pēnei i te hokohoko, te whakahaere ratonga, me te rongoā. I te tau 2024, i eke āna hoko ki te 8.8 piriona tāra US, ā, tata ki te 35,000 tāngata i mahi i roto i te 50+ whenua. Ko Walmart, mā roto i te 10,750 toa me ngā papaaho hokohoko ipurangi i roto i te 19 whenua, e mahi ana ki te tata ki te 270 miriona kiritaki i ia wiki. Ko te tauira mahi tahi i waenga i ngā rōpū e rua ehara i te mea ko te tauira anake mō te whakakotahi i te tono hangarau me te whanaketanga pumau i roto i te umanga hokohoko kai, engari e tohu ana hoki mā te whakaiti i te utu me te whakarei ake i te maha o ngā whakamahinga o te hangarau RFID, ka tere ake te tono i roto i te umanga kai me te whakatairanga i te umanga katoa kia huri ki tētahi huarahi mohio ake, whai hua ake, me te pai ki te taiao.
