北歐一公司推出環保洗手液大綱

When you buy a supply of Forgo's new liquid hand wash, you won't get a single-use plastic bottle, just a smAll envelope.

在你購買Forgo新款洗手液的時候，你拿到的只是一個（裝了東西的）小信封，而不是一次性塑料瓶裝洗手液。

But if you tear open the paper sachet, pour the powder inside into a reusable bottle, add tap water, and shake, you'll have foaming hand wash in less than a minute.

但如果你撕開這個紙袋，把裏面的粉末倒入可重複使用的瓶子裏，加入自來水，然後搖一搖，不到一分鐘你就會得到一瓶泡沫洗手液。

Forgo is an in-house project from the Stockholm-based design studio Form Us With Love, and the soap is just the first in a line of products that the company wants to redesign to shrink packaging waste.

Forgo洗手液是一家斯德哥爾摩設計工作室Form Us With Love（愛與我們在一起）推出的一個內部項目。該公司想重新設計產品以減少包裝垃圾，而這種肥皂只是這一系列的第一款產品。

"Our methodology is applicable to everything from deodorant to toothpaste to shampoos and face wash and conditioner and so on," says Allon Libermann, who is leading the project at the design firm. "We are looking to accelerate the process of transforming all of those products into this kind of thinking."

“我們的方法適用於除臭劑、牙膏、洗髮水、洗面奶、護髮素等各種產品，”該設計公司這一項目的負責人阿隆·利伯曼說道。“我們希望把這種思維應用於所有的這些產品上，並加快這一過程。”

It's one of multiple ways that companies are now rethinking disposable packaging, recognizing that less than 5% of plastic is recycled, and a growing amount of plastic waste is ending up in the ocean (and our food chain).

如今衆多公司已意識到可回收的塑料不足5%，而且越來越多的塑料垃圾最終流入大海（並進入我們的食物鏈），因此他們也在重新考慮一次性包裝改造的方式，而這是其中的一種。
