Puas yog Sustainability Kev nqis peev tiag tiag cuam tshuam rau huab cua hom phiaj?

Lub lim tiam no, Inditex tau ua raws ntau lub npe ntawm lwm lub npe hauv kev sib tw kom muaj cov khoom siv fiber ntau ncig. Nyob rau lub Tsib Hlis xyoo no, lawv tau txais daim ntawv cog lus € 100M tawm nrog cov cellulose fiber ntau rov ua dua tshiab Infinited Fiber Tuam Txhab (IFC), nqus ib ncig 30% ntawm lub recycler tag nrho cov voj voog fiber ntau muaj peev xwm. Muaj kev sib tw loj heev kom tau txais cov tswv cuab ntawm cov ntaub ntawv ncig no vim cov khoom lag luam sib zog ua kom muaj cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua tshiab hauv lawv cov khoom. Lwm qhov kev sib tw 'yeej' yog kev txhawb nqa ntawm cov ntawv pov thawj kev ruaj ntseg ntawm lawv cov ntaub ntawv, yog tias tsis yog cov khoom lag luam (ntxiv rau qhov ntawd thaum kuv npog Higg MSI hauv lub lis piam tom ntej).

Inditex qhov kev mob siab kawg nkaus kom tau txais kev sib tw kom zoo dua hauv kev lag luam fiber ntau yog los ntawm kev nqis peev hauv Series B $ 30M nce los ntawm kev pib. Circ. Circ's thev naus laus zis tshuaj siv rov ua dua cov khaub ncaws pov tseg, cais tawm polyester thiab cellulose: kev hloov pauv tshiab zoo ib yam li nws cov phooj ywg rov ua dua, Hnav dua. Cov khaub ncaws feem ntau yog tsim los ntawm kev sib xyaw ntawm cov paj rwb thiab polyester, thiab Circ's thev naus laus zis rho tawm lub hauv paus tsev blocks hu ua monomers, thiab muab cov khoom siv raw rau fiber ntau thiab textile producers, hloov cov nkauj xwb. Cov monomers no yog synthesized rau hauv cov polymers siv nyob rau hauv niaj hnub textiles: polyester thiab cellulose, nrog zoo tib yam li cov nkauj xwb.

Tab sis dab tsi yog fiber ntau muaj los ntawm Circ thiab Inditex yuav nkag tau ntau npaum li cas? Thaum lub sijhawm sib tham video nrog Circ CEO Peter Majeranowski, nws tau piav qhia tias Inditex cov peev txheej tsis muaj kev nyab xeeb rau kev nkag mus rau fibers, tab sis qhov kev pom zoo tawm ntawm qhov zoo ib yam li Inditex muaj nrog IFC yog ib kauj ruam tom ntej. Inditex aims hloov tag nrho nws cov polyester rau sustainable los yog siv dua los ntawm 2025, ua qhov kev nqis peev hauv Circ no tseem ceeb (tshwj tsis yog lawv hloov mus rau PET rov siv dua los ntawm cov khoom siv tsis yog textile, uas tseem muaj teeb meem). Majeranowski tau qhia tias Circ cov khoom tsim tawm los ntawm nws thawj qhov chaw tsim khoom lag luam loj, pib hauv 2024-2025, yuav nyob ib puag ncig 65,000 tonnes ntawm cov khoom siv raw hauv ib xyoos. Piv txwv tias cov khoom pov tseg yog 50% paj rwb thiab 50% polyester, nyob ib ncig ntawm 32,500 tonnes ntawm txhua cov khoom siv raw monomer yuav tsim txhua xyoo. Qhov no yog qhov poob hauv dej hiav txwv piv rau qhov ntim ntawm cov khoom siv los ntawm Inditex, Kuv xav tias nrov nrov, thiab Majeranowski pom zoo.

Kuv tau tshaj tawm rau xyoo dhau los ntawm Forbes txog kev nqis peev ntawm cov khoom lag luam hauv cov khoom siv hluav taws xob thiab tsis tshua muaj kev cuam tshuam, thiab kuv qhov kev tshawb pom, suav nrog cov saum toj no, tsa cov lus nug tseem ceeb: Puas yog qhov kev nqis peev no hauv cov kev daws teeb meem yog ua ke nrog kev hloov pauv hauv kev lag luam zam, lossis Puas yog lawv cais cov thawj coj, muab kev tshaj tawm xov xwm zoo thiab cov txiaj ntsig halo thaum txhawb nqa cov kev coj ua tsis zoo uas twb muaj lawm (uas cov thev naus laus zis no tsis muaj kev cia siab hais txog nyob rau hauv lub sijhawm teem rau net-zero ambitions)?

Qhov kev sib txawv ntawm ib puag ncig tuaj yeem ua rau cov kev nqis peev no ua tau tiag tiag thaum peb tseem tsis tau paub txog qhov kev sib piv ntawm kev txo qis ntawm cov voj voog fibers piv rau cov kab tawm. Kuv hais qhov no vim tias cov ntaub ntawv raw khoom yuav ua rau muaj kev cuam tshuam rau lub sijhawm rho tawm, tab sis txawm tias cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab yuav tsum tau siv lub zog los ua cov ntaub ntawv tshiab uas yog dyed thiab tiav. Qhov kev pheej hmoo yog tias cov kev nqis peev uas muaj txiaj ntsig zoo los ntawm Inditex hauv Circ coj nrog nws qhov kev xav tias cov khoom siv raw cov ntaub ntawv tshem tawm tag nrho cov nkauj xwb, thiab txawm muab cov npe tso cai los ua kom cov khoom ntim ntau ntxiv, uas tseem yuav muaj kev puas tsuaj ib puag ncig thiab kev sib raug zoo tam sim no. infrastructure.

Kuv mam li hloov me ntsis ntawm no, hais tias kev lag luam zam yog cov lag luam lag luam feem ntau - feem coob tsis muaj cov txheej txheem tsim khoom lossis ua cov khoom hauv tsev - lawv qhov chaw, tom qab ntawd ua lag luam, thiab muag lawv. Yog li ntawd, theem ntawm kev zam khib nyiab uas ua rau cov khoom lag luam raug mob ntau tshaj plaws yog qhov kawg ntawm lub neej, qhov twg cov neeg siv khoom pov khaub ncaws hauv cov thawv, ua rau cov khoom pov tseg, lossis hauv cov khw muag khoom thib ob xws li Kantamanto hauv Ghana (qhov twg 15 lab daim ntawm pov tseg. khaub ncaws xaus txhua lub lim tiam).

Hom kev pov tseg ntawm pej xeem no yog dab tuag thiab muaj kev pheej hmoo rau cov khoom lag luam; uas tej zaum yog vim li cas lawv thiaj li nqis peev ntau rau hauv cov ntaub ntawv ncig los ntawm cov khaub ncaws siv dua tshiab, tsis yog lub zog tauj dua tshiab nrog lawv cov neeg muag khoom. Qhov no yog qhov teeb meem txawm hais tias lub zog tauj dua tshiab muab kev cuam tshuam ntau dua qhov txo qis, thiab yog li muaj kev cia siab ntau dua ntawm kev ua tiav lub hom phiaj net-zero.

Yuav kom tsim nyog tau txais qhov kev txiav tawm no, qhov cuam tshuam uas xam tau los ntawm Circ fibers tsis yog pej xeem, piv rau qhov cuam tshuam loj heev ntawm cov khoom siv hluav taws xob decarbonizing zog rau cov saw hlau. Tab sis txawm hais tias Circ qhov kev txo qis uas muaj peev xwm ua tau ntiag tug, Majeranowski tau piav qhia tias kev sib piv Lub Neej Kev Ntsuas Kev Ntsuas (LCA's) tau ua tiav los ntsuas lawv cov monomers voj voog piv rau kev rho tawm cov nkauj xwb, thiab cov txiaj ntsig "zoo heev" rau Circ. Cov ntaub ntawv LCA no tau muaj rau cov tub ua lag luam hauv qhov no Series B nce, yog li nws yog qhov xav tau tias Inditex tuaj yeem kuaj xyuas qhov kev txiav txim siab txo qis hauv ib chav tsev ntawm Circ cov ntaub ntawv rov siv dua piv rau cov nkauj xwb uas lawv cov neeg siv khoom siv. Tej zaum qhov no yog qhov kev ntsuam xyuas uas lawv yuav ua yog tias lawv tau ua raws li kev pom zoo nrog Circ, txhawm rau txheeb xyuas seb cov ntaub ntawv Circ yuav cuam tshuam li cas ntawm lawv cov hom phiaj uas tau hais los saum no.

Nws zoo nkaus li, ntawm kev xav, uas rau cov hom lag luam, kev nqis peev hauv cov khoom siv fiber ntau tam sim no muab cov lus piav qhia muaj txiaj ntsig zoo tshaj plaws rau cov neeg siv khoom (yog li kev sib tw nyiam thiab kev khav theeb), piv rau kev nqis peev hauv lub zog tauj dua tshiab hauv cov khoom siv; Tab sis qhov no txhais tau li cas thaum kawg yog cov hom tsis muaj kev txhawb siab los nqis peev los daws lawv qhov loj tshaj plaws ntawm kev cuam tshuam ib puag ncig thiab kev sib raug zoo, uas tshwm sim hauv cov saw hlau thaum tsim lawv cov khoom.

Majeranowski muaj kev cia siab, txawm li cas los xij, los ntawm kev nqis peev nyiaj rau hauv cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab xws li Circ, cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab yuav raug tsim, ua pov thawj qhov kev vam meej ntawm cov cuab yeej siv hluav taws xob thiab ua kom muaj kev nthuav dav ntawm nws cov infrastructure rau lub Ntiaj Teb Sab Qab Teb: "Circ outputs [fed rau hauv. ] qhov pib ntawm cov saw hlau, thiab peb cov neeg siv khoom yog nyob rau hauv Ntiaj Teb Sab Qab Teb, tab sis dab tsi rub tawm [xov xwm xav tau] los ntawm yog cov khoom lag luam thiab lawv cov neeg siv khoom hauv ntiaj teb North. "

Tseeb, Ntiaj Teb Sab Qab Teb yog qhov chaw Majeranowski xav ua haujlwm thiab Circ qhov kev cog lus rau kev ua haujlwm hauv cov khoom lag luam yog kev daws teeb meem, tab sis kev nqis peev yuav tsis ntws mus txog thaum cov thev naus laus zis tau raug pov thawj hauv Ntiaj Teb North, uas pom Circ rau nws thawj incarnation raws li ib tug tus cawm seej rau kev zam lub dab tuag pawg ntawm cov khoom siv pov tseg tom qab siv. Cov khoom lag luam zam zoo li daws qhov kev ruaj ntseg los ntawm qhov pom ntawm kev txo cov neeg siv khoom tsis txaus siab lossis kev ua txhaum ntawm qhov pov tseg no. Qhov no muaj tseeb txawm hais tias tus nqi kawg ntawm qhov kev nqis peev rau pej xeem hauv kev ncig tsis pom qhov tseeb tias lawv tsis quav ntsej txog lawv cov kev cuam tshuam cov khoom siv, uas yuav ua rau muaj kev cuam tshuam ntawm txhua lub hom phiaj huab cua.

Tam sim no tsis muaj pov thawj rau pej xeem hais tias lub voj voog fiber ntau cov khoom lag luam tau nqis peev hauv yuav muaj kev cuam tshuam loj rau kev txo qis kev lag luam thoob plaws hauv lub sijhawm teem rau net-zero. Hloov pauv, kev tsom mus rau decarbonization hauv cov khoom lag luam muaj ntau qhov ntau thiab muaj txiaj ntsig txo qis tab sis tsis yog ze li kev lag luam.

Kuv yog, qhov tseeb, a tus kws lij choj muaj zog rau cov ntaub ntawv tsis tshua muaj kev cuam tshuam kev tsim kho tshiab thiab cov fibers ncig, raws li pom los ntawm kuv ntau ntau cov khoom thiab Sib tham ntawm lub ncauj lus no. Txawm li cas los xij, kuv tsis yog tus neeg tawm tswv yim rau cov hom lag luam siv kev nqis peev hauv kev tsim kho tshiab xws li lub tswv yim thiab kev lag luam los tiv thaiv lawv cov khoom lag luam thiab lub koob npe nrov thiab txo cov neeg yuav khoom txhaum.

Kuv xav tias yuav tsum tau nias lub ntsiab lus uas nws tsis paub tias qhov cuam tshuam txo qhov peev xwm ntawm cov voj voog fiber ntau yog tam sim no, thiab nws tsis tau ua qauv zoo los piav qhia txog lub peev xwm los txo cov emissions raws li kev lag luam thoob plaws lub hom phiaj. Conversely, qhov cuam tshuam txo qhov peev xwm ntawm kev siv lub zog tauj dua tshiab hauv cov khoom siv yog qhov tseeb thiab muaj nuj nqis nrog rau net-zero cov hom phiaj-Nws tsuas yog tsis haum rau cov hom lag luam kev lag luam tseem ceeb thiab cov hom phiaj muag.

Puas yog kev nqis peev hauv cov fibers ncig qhov tseem ceeb? Yog lawm. Nws puas yuav tsum yog thawj lub tswv yim sustainability ntawm kev lag luam? Tsis yog. Yog vim li cas nws thiaj yog thawj lub tswv yim? Vim tias cov khoom lag luam, kom zoo dua los yog phem dua, tam sim no coj ntau qhov chaw peev nyiaj mus, thiab lawv mus rau kev daws cov khoom lag luam thiab cov kev sib tw rau pej xeem, tsis yog cov kev lag luam uas nyob hauv cov khoom lag luam uas ua rau cov khoom lag luam muag.
