He mea nui te mahi a te kirihou i roto i te hapori o ēnei rā nā ōna āhuatanga ahurei, engari ko te whakaputanga, te kai, me te whakakorenga o ngā kirihou kua hua ake he pānga kino nui ki te hapori, ki te taiao, me te ōhanga. Ko te raruraru parahanga o te ao e tohuhia ana e ngā kirihou kua waiho hei tetahi o ngā raruraru nui e pā ana ki te tangata, me te huringa āhuarangi o te ao me te ngaronga o te kanorau koiora. Tata ki te 400 miriona tana o ngā para kirihou e puta ana i te ao i ia tau, ā, e matapaetia ana ka eke te hanga kirihou tuatahi ki te 1.1 piriona tana i te tau 2050. Ko te kaha hanga kirihou o te ao he nui ake i te kaha ki te whakakore me te hangarua, ka hua ake he utu nui ki te taiao me te pāpori.
Hei whakautu i tēnei raruraru, kei te whawhai tētahi rōpū ki ngā para kirihou, e whakaatu ana i te hiahia nui kia arohia te take. Ko te pānga o te parahanga kirihou ki ngā kararehe mohoao me ngā rauropi te mea nui i muri i te kaupapa ki te whakaiti i te whakamahinga kirihou me te kimi i ētahi atu huarahi tauwhiro. Nā te hiahia nui ki te whawhai ki te parahanga kirihou kua hua ake ai te whanaketanga o ngā otinga auaha, tae atu ki te whakatairanga i ngā takai kore-kirihou me te whakamahinga o ngā rōra takai pepa.
Ko tētahi kamupene kei mua i tēnei kaupapa ko Estee Paper, kua awhi i te ariā o te whakaiti kirihou, ā, kua whakapau kaha ki te whakatinana i tēnei. Kua tū te kamupene ki te whakahē i te nui rawa o ngā takai, ā, kua neke atu ki te whakamahi i ngā rauemi taiao hei takai i ngā putea kawe me ētahi atu hua. E ai ki tēnei whakapau kaha, kua whakawhanakehia e Estee Paper he whānuitanga o ngā otinga takai pepa, tae atu ki ngā rōra takai pepa, te pepa kīhini, me te pepa tauera, e whakarato ana i ngā kaihoko ki ngā huarahi pai mō te taiao hei whakakapi i ngā takai kirihou tuku iho.
Ko te nekehanga ki ngā rōra takai pepa me ētahi atu huarahi tauwhiro he taahiraa nui ki te whakaiti i te pānga taiao o te parahanga kirihou. Mā te whiriwhiri i ngā hua taiao hei whakakapi i ngā taonga kirihou, ka taea e ngā kaihoko te whai wāhi kaha ki te whakaiti i ngā para kirihou me te tiaki i te taiao. Hei tāpiri, ko te tautoko i ngā pakihi kua whakapau kaha, kua mahi rānei i ngā mahi hei whakaiti i ngā kirihou ka taea te akiaki i ngā huringa pai me te whakatenatena i te tango i ngā mahi tauwhiro puta noa i ngā ahumahi.
Ko te whakawhiti ki ngā otinga takai kore-kirihou ehara i te mea e aro noa ana ki te hiahia tere ki te whakaiti i te parahanga kirihou engari e hangai ana hoki ki te whāinga whānui o te whakatairanga i te oranga tonutanga o te taiao. Mā te tīmata mai i te pūtake me te kore e whakamahi i ngā hua kirihou, ka taea e ngā tāngata takitahi me ngā pakihi te whai wāhi nui ki te whakaiti i te pānga o te parahanga kirihou ki te ao.
Hei whakamutunga, ko te whawhai ki te parahanga kirihou me whai mahi tahi ki te awhi i ngā huarahi tauwhiro me te whakaiti i te whakawhirinaki ki ngā hua kirihou. Ko te whanaketanga o ngā rōra takai pepa me ētahi atu otinga hoa-taiao he taahiraa nui ki te whakatutuki i tēnei whāinga. Mā te tautoko i ngā kamupene pēnei i a Estee Paper e whakapau kaha ana ki te whakaiti i te kirihou me te tuku kōwhiringa takai tauwhiro, ka taea e ngā kaihoko te whai wāhi atu ki te mahi ā-ao ki te whawhai ki te parahanga kirihou me te tiaki i te taiao mō ngā whakatipuranga o muri mai. He mea nui kia mau tonu tā tātou kaupapa matua ki te tango i ngā otinga takai kore-kirihou, me te mahi ki tētahi heke mai tauwhiro me te kore-kirihou.
