Tam sim no qhov kev pab cuam nthuav dav, InHome, tab tom sim seb lub teb chaws cov khw muag khoom loj tshaj plaws thiab nws cov neeg yuav khoom puas tuaj yeem tshem tawm kev cia siab rau ib leeg-siv hnab yas thiab lwm yam ntim khoom pov tseg uas cua tuaj hauv cov neeg yuav khoom hauv tsev - thiab thaum kawg, qhov pov tseg.

Qhov kev sim ua haujlwm, uas tau txwv rau ib lub khw muag khoom ze ntawm New York metro cheeb tsam, yog ib feem ntawm Walmart txoj kev siv zog ntau dua los xa cov lus cog tseg kom txav mus rau cov khoom ntim rov qab siv tau, rov ua dua lossis kev lag luam compostable rau nws cov npe ntiag tug thiab ncav cuag xoom pov tseg hauv nws tus kheej. Kev ua haujlwm hauv Asmeskas thiab Canada los ntawm 2025. Nyob rau hauv thawj ib nrab ntawm lub xyoo no, Walmart npaj yuav sim lwm txoj kev rau ib leeg-siv yas rau curbside pickup thiab xa mus tsev, said Jane Ewing, Walmart tus lwm thawj coj ntawm sustainability. Cov kev pabcuam no yog qhov loj hlob sai ntawm Walmart lub khw muag khoom noj, tom qab cov neeg yuav khoom tau siv los ua kom yooj yim thaum muaj kev sib kis.

Ntau lub xeev, cov nroog loj hauv Asmeskas thiab cov tebchaws tau txwv lossis them nqi rau cov khoom siv ib zaug. Cov neeg siv khoom, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog xyoo txhiab thiab Gen Z, tau them nyiaj ntau dua rau cov tuam txhab kev cuam tshuam ib puag ncig. Thiab cov tub ua lag luam tab tom txiav txim siab txog ib puag ncig, kev sib raug zoo thiab kev tswj hwm txoj cai yog qhov tseem ceeb thaum txiav txim siab thaum twg los yuav lossis muag ib lub tuam txhab cov khoom lag luam.

Judith Enck, tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm nonprofit Beyond Plastics, hais tias cov tuam txhab "nyeem cov ntawv sau rau ntawm phab ntsa," ntau npaum li lawv tau ua thaum lub xeev thiab cov nroog tau pib dhau txoj cai lij choj uas tau nce qib hauv cov nyiaj hli tsawg dua.

Txawm li cas los xij nws tau hais tias nws tau mob siab rau pom cov khw muag khoom thiab cov neeg siv khoom ntim cov tuam txhab lag luam cog lus uas tuaj nrog lub sijhawm ntev xyoo thiab cov kauj ruam ntxiv.

Nws hais tias Walmart tshwj xeeb yog tsom rau kev nrhiav txoj hauv kev kom cov txiv hmab txiv ntoo thiab zaub tshiab nrog ntim tsawg dua. Nws ua hauj lwm nrog pib-up Apeel los muab ib qho kev pom tsis pom, edible cog-raws li txheej ntawm dib es tsis txhob shrink-wrapping nws nyob rau hauv yas.

Txawm li cas los xij, txawm tias qee tus neeg muag khoom qhov kev nce qib tau nthuav tawm qhov kev nqa hnyav ua ntej: Piv txwv li, Walmart tsis ntev los no tau tshem lub qhov rais yas los ntawm lub thawv uas tuav cov yas cutlery muag los ntawm nws daim ntawv ntiag tug, Ewing tau hais. Qhov kev hloov me me no yuav raug muab faib ua cov khoom muag thoob plaws hauv nws ntau dua 4,700 lub khw muag khoom hauv Asmeskas.

Cov lag luam ntiag tug tsuas yog tsav ib feem ntawm Walmart qhov muag tag nrho, ib yam nkaus. Qhov ntawd txhais tau tias thaum kawg nws yuav tsum coax cov neeg muab khoom hloov pauv ntim kom hloov qhov sib npaug ntawm cov yas siv ib zaug ntawm Walmart cov khw muag khoom. Kev tshem tawm lossis txiav rov qab los ntawm kev ntim khoom yog ib qho tseem ceeb ntawm Project Gigaton, kev siv zog uas Walmart tau tsim tsib xyoos dhau los uas lub hom phiaj txo qis 1 gigaton ntawm cov pa roj carbon monoxide emissions los ntawm lub tuam txhab cov saw hlau los ntawm 2030.

Yog hais tias nws nyuaj heev, nyuaj heev, lawv yuav tsis ua. Yog li peb yuav tsum txiav txim siab seb peb tuaj yeem tsim qhov no li cas rau hauv kev ntws ntawm lawv cov kev yuav khoom ib txwm muaj thiab tshem tawm cov ntsiab lus mob rau lawv. "
