Ukunxiba ijean enye kanye kwenza umonakalo omkhulu njengokuqhuba iikhilomitha ezi-6 kwisithuthi esinepetroli
Ngokutsho kwezazinzulu, ukugqoka i-jeans yefashini ekhawulezayo kanye nje kudala i-2.5 kg ye-carbon dioxide, elingana nokuqhuba i-6.4 km kwimoto engeyiyo i-petroli, ibhala "i-Daily Mail".
Ifashoni ekhawulezayo ligama elisetyenziselwa ukuchaza inkqubo yokudala ngokukhawuleza kunye nokuthengisa iimpahla ezixabiso liphantsi, ezisefashonini ukwanelisa imfuno.
Izazinzulu ezivela kwiYunivesithi yaseGuangdong yeTekhnoloji yaseTshayina zahlalutya umjikelo wobomi bepere yejini kaLevi, ukusuka ekulinyweni komqhaphu ukuya kuthi ga ekugqityweni kwawo ngokutshiswa.
Bafumanisa ukuba ezinye izibini zazinxitywa izihlandlo ezisixhenxe kuphela. Oku kubenza bafaneleke njenge "fashoni ekhawulezayo". Zikhupha ikharbon diokside ngokuphindwe kali-11 kunejean edla ngokunxitywa.
“Njengesiseko sewodrophu yemihla ngemihla, ibhulukhwe yejean inefuthe elibalulekileyo kwi indawo,” utshilo uGqr Ya Zhou, umbhali ophambili wolu phando.
Abaphandi bafumanisa ukuba i-carbon footprint ye-fashion jeans ekhawulezayo i-95-99% inkulu kune-jeans yendabuko, enxiba umyinge wamaxesha angama-120. Umahluko omkhulu phakathi kwezi ndlela zimbini zokusetyenziswa kukuba iimpahla ezithengiswa ngefashoni ngokukhawuleza zithuthwa ngokukhawuleza kwaye zinxitywe kancinci ngaphambi kokuba zilahlwe.
“Ukutshintsha kwefashoni kubangela ukuba abantu bathenge iimpahla rhoqo kwaye bazinxibe okwethutyana ukuze bahambisane nefashoni yamva nje,” wongeze watsho uGqr Zhou.
"Ukusetyenziswa ngokugqithiseleyo okunjalo kukhokelela ekunyuseni okukhulu kokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo kunye namandla kwishishini leengubo ngokukhawulezisa yonke ikhonkco lokubonelela ngempahla, kuquka imveliso, ukuhanjiswa, ukusetyenziswa kunye neenkqubo zokulahla, ngaloo ndlela ikhulise impembelelo yoshishino lwempahla ekutshintsheni imozulu" .
Iingcali zenzululwazi ziqikelela ukuba iperi yejini eveliswe kwimarike yefashoni yemveli ivelisa i-0.22 kg yecarbon dioxide. Okwangoku, abaphandi baqikelela ukuba iijini ezithengiswa kwiivenkile zefashoni ezikhawulezayo zikhupha imisi ekhutshwa ngokuphindwe kali-11.
Ngokungafaniyo nefashoni yemveli, uninzi lwezinto ezikhutshwayo kwifashoni ekhawulezayo zivela kwimveliso yeejean kunye neefibers, ezibalelwa kwi-70% yokukhutshwa okupheleleyo.
Ukukhutshwa okuseleyo kubangelwa ikakhulu ukuthuthwa kwee jeans ukusuka kwiifektri ukuya kubathengi, okubalelwa kwi-21% yokukhutshwa okupheleleyo.
Ngenxa yokuba imodeli yefashoni ekhawulezayo yothutho ubukhulu becala iqhutywa ngomoya, ngokumangalisayo kangangezihlandlo ezingama-59 kukhutshwa ikharbon diokside.
Ngokutsho kwabaphandi, iimveliso zefashoni ezikhawulezayo zisungula ingqokelela entsha yamaxesha angama-25 ngokukhawuleza kuneempawu zefashoni zemveli, ezikhokelela kumjikelo omfutshane wefashoni kunye nosetyenziso oluphezulu. Oku kudala izixa ezikhulu zenkunkuma kunye namanqanaba amakhulu ongcoliseko.
Kuqikelelwa ukuba umzi-mveliso wefashoni uvelisa i-10% yazo zonke izinto ezikhutshwa yi-greenhouse yehlabathi kunye neetoni ezimalunga nezigidi ezingama-92 zenkunkuma nyaka ngamnye.
Ininzi yale nkunkuma ithuthelwa kumazwe afana neGuatemala, iChile kunye neGhana, apho iindawo ezinkulu zokulahla inkunkuma sele zibangela "ingxaki yendalo kunye nentlalontle".
Ngethamsanqa, abaphandi bathi kukho iindlela ezininzi zokunciphisa kakhulu i-carbon footprint yeshishini.
Ukuthenga iimpahla kwiivenkile zeempahla ezisetyenzisiweyo ezingasebenziyo kunciphisa i-carbon footprint ye-jeans nge-90%. Kwaye iijini ezidlula kwiivenkile ezithengisa izinto ezithengiswayo zinxitywe amaxesha angama-127 ebomini babo.
Abaphandi baphinda bacebise ukuba ukuphinda kusetyenziswe i-jeans okanye ukusebenzisa inkonzo yokurenta impahla kunokunciphisa i-carbon footprint yengubo enye nge-85 kunye ne-89%, ngokulandelanayo.
