Ngo-Okthoba 2025, inkampani enkulu yokuthengisa i-Walmart yangena ekubambisaneni okujulile nenkampani yomhlaba wonke yesayensi yezinto zokwakha i-Avery Dennison, bethula ngokubambisana ikhambi lobuchwepheshe be-RFID elenzelwe ngqo ukudla okusha. Lokhu kusungula izinto ezintsha kwagqabula izithiyo ezindala ekusetshenzisweni kobuchwepheshe be-RFID emkhakheni wokudla okusha, kwanikeza ugqozi oluqinile lokuguqulwa kwedijithali kanye nentuthuko esimeme embonini yokuthengisa ukudla.

Isikhathi eside, indawo yokugcina enomswakama ophezulu kanye nokushisa okuphansi (njengamakhabethe okubonisa inyama aqandisiwe) ibilokhu iyisithiyo esikhulu ekusetshenzisweni kobuchwepheshe be-RFID ekulandeleni ukudla okusha. Kodwa-ke, ikhambi elethulwe ngokubambisana yizinhlangothi zombili linqobe ngempumelelo le nselele yobuchwepheshe, okwenza ukulandelela okuphelele kwedijithali kwezigaba zokudla okusha njengenyama, izimpahla ezibhakiwe, nokudla okuphekiwe kube ngokoqobo. Amathegi afakwe lobu buchwepheshe avumela abasebenzi be-Walmart ukuphatha isitokwe ngesivinini esingakaze sibonwe kanye nokunemba, ukuqapha ukusha komkhiqizo ngesikhathi sangempela, ukuqinisekisa ukutholakala okwanele kwemikhiqizo lapho amakhasimende eyidinga, futhi bakhe amasu okunciphisa amanani anengqondo ngokusekelwe kulwazi losuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi lwedijithali, ngaleyo ndlela kuncishiswe isitokwe esiningi.

Ngokombono wokubaluleka kwemboni, ukusetshenziswa kwalobu buchwepheshe kunemiphumela ebalulekile. Ku-Walmart, kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile ekufezeni imigomo yayo yentuthuko esimeme - i-Walmart izibophezele ekunciphiseni izinga lokulahlwa kokudla emisebenzini yayo yomhlaba wonke ngo-50% ngo-2030. Ngokuhlonza okuzenzakalelayo ezingeni lomkhiqizo, ukusebenza kahle kokulawula ukulahleka kokudla okusha kuthuthuke kakhulu, izindleko zokuphathwa kwempahla zincishisiwe kakhulu, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo, amakhasimende angathola imikhiqizo emisha kalula, okwenza ngcono ulwazi lokuthenga. UChristine Kief, iPhini likaMongameli woMnyango Wokuguqulwa Kwangaphambili we-Walmart US, uthe: “Ubuchwepheshe kufanele benze izimpilo zabasebenzi namakhasimende zibe lula kakhulu. Ngemva kokunciphisa ukusebenza ngezandla, abasebenzi banganikela isikhathi esiningi emsebenzini oyinhloko wokukhonza amakhasimende.”

I-Ellidon ibonise amakhono ayo amakhulu okusungula izinto ezintsha kwezobuchwepheshe kulokhu kubambisana. Ayigcinanga nje ngokuhlinzeka ngokubonakala okugcwele kanye nokucaca kweketanga lokuphakelwa kokudla kusukela emthonjeni kuya esitolo ngephothifoliyo yayo yomkhiqizo wesisombululo se-Optica, kodwa muva nje iqalise nethegi yokuqala ye-RFID ethole "iSitifiketi Sokuklama Ukuphinda Kusetshenziswe" esivela kwi-Plastic Recycling Association (APR). Le thegi isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokubopha be-CleanFlake obuthuthukiswe ngokuzimela futhi ihlanganisa imisebenzi ye-RFID ethuthukisiwe. Ingahlukaniswa kalula ngesikhathi sokuphinda kusetshenziswe ngomshini kwepulasitiki ye-PET, ixazulule inkinga yokungcola kokuphinda kusetshenziswe kwe-PET eNyakatho Melika futhi inikeze ukwesekwa okubalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kokupakisha okujikelezayo.

UJulie Vargas, iPhini likaMongameli kanye noMphathi Jikelele we-Adlens Identity Recognition Solutions Company, ugcizelele ukuthi ukubambisana phakathi kwamaqembu amabili kuwukubonakaliswa komthwalo wemfanelo ohlanganyelwe phakathi kwesintu noMhlaba - ukunikeza ubunikazi bedijithali obuhlukile kumkhiqizo ngamunye omusha, okungagcini nje ngokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokuphathwa kwempahla kodwa futhi kunciphisa imfucuza yokudla emthonjeni wayo. UPascal Watelle, iPhini likaMongameli we-Global Research and Sustainability of the Company's Materials Group, uphinde waveza ukuthi ukutholwa kwesitifiketi se-APR kuphawula isinyathelo esibalulekile sebhizinisi ekukhuthazeni ukuguqulwa kwezinto eziqhubekayo. Esikhathini esizayo, i-Adlens izoqhubeka nokusekela amakhasimende ekufezeni imigomo yawo yokuvuselela kabusha ngokusebenzisa izinto ezintsha.

Njengomholi womhlaba wonke embonini, ibhizinisi lika-Avery Dennison lihlanganisa imikhakha eminingi efana nokuthengisa, ezokuthutha, kanye nemithi. Ngo-2024, ukuthengiswa kwalo kwafinyelela ku-8.8 billion US dollars, futhi laqasha abantu ababalelwa ku-35,000 emazweni angaphezu kuka-50. I-Walmart, ngokusebenzisa izitolo ezingu-10,750 kanye namapulatifomu e-e-commerce emazweni angu-19, ikhonza amakhasimende angaba yizigidi ezingu-270 njalo ngeviki. Imodeli yokubambisana phakathi kwamaqembu amabili ayigcini nje ngokubeka imodeli yokuhlanganisa ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe kanye nentuthuko esimeme embonini yokuthengisa ukudla, kodwa futhi ikhombisa ukuthi ngokunciphisa izindleko kanye nokuguquguquka okuthuthukisiwe kobuchwepheshe be-RFID, ukusetshenziswa kwalo embonini yokudla kuzosheshisa futhi kukhuthaze yonke imboni ukuthi iguqukele esiqondisweni esihlakaniphile, esisebenzayo, nesinobungani nemvelo.
