Hoʻopili hae he ʻano hōʻailona i paʻi ʻia me ka inoa o kahi hui a hanana paha. He kumu ʻike kiʻekiʻe kona a he ala maikaʻi loa ia e hoʻolaha ai i kāu hōʻailona. Ua ʻike paha ʻoe i kēia mau hae i ke kaʻa ʻana ma nā alaloa a i ʻole nā alanui. He ʻāpana ia o nā hana hoʻolaha ma nā hale kūʻai a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe. Hiki mai kēia mau hōʻailona ma nā ʻano nui a me nā ʻano like ʻole. ʻO ka hapa nui, hana ʻia lākou mai kahi mea PVC i uhi ʻia me kahi hui pūhui organik.
ʻO ka puka ʻana o ka ʻenehana hou me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka paʻi ʻana ma nā kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa a me ke ola kiʻekiʻe e kākoʻo i ka ulu ʻana o ka mākeke o nā hae flex. He ala kūpono lākou no ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka hele ʻana ma nā tradeshows a me nā hōʻike. He lōʻihi kēia mau hōʻailona a kūpono hoʻi no ka hoʻohana ʻana i waho, ma muli o ko lākou mau waiwai kūʻokoʻa a me ka wai. Eia kekahi, hiki ke maʻalahi nā hae flex a hāʻawi i ka maʻalahi i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka hōʻailona vinyl.
ʻO ka hopena, kūpono lākou no nā hoʻolaha hoʻolaha nui a me nā hanana. Hiki ke hoʻopilikino ʻia nā hae flex e like me nā koi o ka mea kūʻai aku, a loaʻa iā lākou i nā kala like ʻole a me nā hoʻopau e kūpono i nā kumuhana like ʻole a me nā ʻāina. He mea maikaʻi loa lākou i ka huki ʻana i ka manaʻo o nā mea kūʻai aku a hiki ke kōkua iā lākou e koho i nā huahana a lawelawe paha.
Manaʻo ka mākeke paʻi paʻi honua e ulu i kahi CAGR koʻikoʻi i ka wā wānana ma muli o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka noi no nā paʻi kiʻekiʻe a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻenehana paʻi. Hiki ke paʻi ʻia kēia mau hōʻailona me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi paʻi roll-to-roll e hānai mālie i ka ʻōwili hae a kau i kahi poʻo paʻi inkjet ma luna o ia laina hoʻokahi i ka manawa e loaʻa ai ka hoʻolālā i makemake ʻia. Ma hope o ka paʻi ʻana, ʻōwili ʻia ka ʻōwili a hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā eyelets no ka maʻalahi o ka mālama ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana. Eia kekahi, hoʻoikaika ʻia nā edgings me nā nickel grommet metala no ka hoʻopau maikaʻi loa.
ʻO PVC (polyvinyl chloride) kahi polymer synthetic amorphous i loaʻa nā ʻātoma chlorine polar. He plastic non-biodegradable ʻaʻole e hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai a i ʻole ka lepo. ʻO ka puhi ʻana o kēia polymer e hoʻopuka i nā mea haumia ʻino e like me nā sulphates a me nā nitrates i ʻoi aku ke kaumaha ma mua o ka ea a hana i kahi pākeke mānoanoa e hōʻemi ana i ka hāʻawi ʻana o ka oxygen ma kahi a puni. Eia kekahi, lele mālie kēia mau kemika i loko o ka lepo a hoʻohaumia iā ia. No laila, he mea nui ia e hoʻohana i nā hoʻolālā noʻonoʻo a me nā hoʻolālā e hoʻoikaika i ka hoʻohana hou ʻana i nā hae flex i mea e hōʻemi ai i ko lākou hopena kaiapuni (Hema Krishna and Swamy 2016).
Hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia nā hae polyvinyl chloride flex post-consumer, a hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia e like me nā tarpaulins, uhi uhi, uhi ʻai meaʻai, ʻeke, moena noho, etc. Eia kekahi, hiki ke hana hou ʻia no ka hana ʻana i nā kāmaʻa, geotextiles, canal linings, a me nā kaula. Ma muli o ko lākou paʻakikī a me ka pale ʻana i ka wā, ʻo nā hae flex ke koho maikaʻi loa o nā hoʻolaha waho. He waiwai hoʻi lākou a hāʻawi i ka lōʻihi o ke ola no ke kumu o ka hoʻohana lōʻihi, akā ʻaʻole kūpono lākou no ka hoʻohana ʻana i loko. Hiki iā lākou ke pōʻino inā ʻike ʻia lākou i ka lā no ka manawa lōʻihi, a hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia e ka haʻahaʻa a i ʻole ka wai ua.
