Even in Korea, where huge amounts of plastic are used every year, we can realize the change. Since last summer, coffee shops have been serving coffee in mugs instead of disposable containers. You can also see paper straws that replace plastic straws or multi-use stainless steel straws. Starbucks Korea offers eco-friendly paper straws at all stores nationwide from the 26th. Not long ago, there was news that McDonald's in China was stopping providing plastic straws. Also, voices calling for changing all food wrappers to eco-friendly ones are gaining strength. Foods that fill the shelves of large marts are usually made of materials that harm the environment, such as plastic, vinyl film, and paper. It rarely breaks down even when buried in the ground, and it makes the Earth sick. The "2019 Food Trend" recently released by Hall Food, the largest eco-friendly food distributor in the U.S., also said, "The packaging of eco-friendly materials will become a trend." Many c...

Thinking about the packaging and the environment.

The "ethical consumption" trend is also spreading in the food industry. It's not just eating and drinking. Consumers are also choosing more eco-friendly products for food packaging. Inova Market Insight and Mintel, global food and beverage market research firms, cited eco-friendly packages as one of the 2019 food and beverage trends. More sustainably, the use of environmentally-produced packaging containers minimizes environmental pollution, restores soil health, and emphasizes ecological circulation. "In the past, carbon dioxide emissions have been emphasized in packaging, but biodegradability and soil decomposition have been emphasized in the past two to three years," said Choi Jeong-Kwan, CEO of Inobamaket Insight Korea office. The global food industry is already in the midst of a zero-plastic movement. In October last year, the EU passed a bill banning the use of several disposable plastics from 2021 to cotton swabs, plastic straws, and forks. With European ...

Why We Should Do Trash Garbage Separated? (ECOYA)

Image
At a price of self-price, countless kinds of garbage pour out during quarantine. The way to throw away the garbage is different from country to city, thinking about the environment a little more. So what I'm going to say today is why we have to recycle 1. Separated garbage can be recycled again, saving resources. 2. I only throw away the garbage that I can't recycle, so there's less trash. 3. For example, recycling cans by separating them costs less than making new cans, which saves money. 4. Non-corrosive garbage such as plastic bottles and glass bottles can be separated and collected, thus making the environment clean. 5. Resource utilization increases by distinguishing between recycled items and non-recycling and incineration materials. : Iron, aluminum, glass bottles, pet bottles, paper, etc. 6. It is economical because it can reduce the cost of incineration or landfill. Reduced power costs and improved incineration efficiency by reducing the amount of time spent on inc...

Definition and basic knowledge of Climate Change and Global warming (ECOYA)

Image
What is climate change?    Global warming means rising temperatures in the seas and  near-surface air around the world that began in the late 19th century.  From the beginning of the 21st century to 2018, the average temperature  of the earth's surface rose by 0.93 ± 0.07 °C, more than two-thirds of  that of 1980. It is still unclear as to the exact cause of climate warming,  but scientists study that it was caused by human activities such as an  increase in greenhouse gas concentrations of more than 90 percent and  the use of fossil fuels. Why climate change is a problem?    One of the most widely known consequences of global warming is  rising sea levels. Because ice in Greenland and Antarctica is on land,  melting this glacier will make it "new pouring water into the sea,"  increasing the volume of the ocean. Arctic polar ice in the sea does not  affect the sea level just because it floats...
