北欧一公司推出环保洗手液

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.

在你购买Forgo新款洗手液的时候，你拿到的只是一个（装了东西的）小信封，而不是一次性塑料瓶装洗手液。

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.

但如果你撕开这个纸袋，把里面的粉末倒入可重复使用的瓶子里，加入自来水，然后摇一摇，不到一分钟你就会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尔摩设计工作室Form Us With Love（爱与我们在一起）推出的一个内部项目。该公司想重新设计产品以减少包装垃圾，而这种肥皂只是这一系列的第一款产品。

"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."

“我们的方法适用于除臭剂、牙膏、洗发水、洗面奶、护发素等各种产品，”该设计公司这一项目的负责人阿隆·利伯曼说道。“我们希望把这种思维应用于所有的这些产品上，并加快这一过程。

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).

如今众多公司已意识到可回收的塑料不足5%，而且越来越多的塑料垃圾最终流入大海（并进入我们的食物链），因此他们也在重新考虑一次性包装改造的方式，而这是其中的一种。
