Lo esencial. Una guía de diseño para la vida

Hilvana con acierto el repaso de una vida burguesa en una de las familias más notables de la sociedad catalana y las lecciones de una vida dedicada a depurar su visión del diseño: útil, ingeniosa, discreta. El libro, escrito en primera persona, toma la forma de una autobiografía, aunque parece que la labor de edición de Anatxu Zabalbeascoa ha sido fundamental estructurando los pensamientos y recuerdos de Miguel Milá y convirtiéndolos en un libro que, además de bonito y fácil de leer, aporta grandes dosis de sabiduría, vivencias y humanismo.

Water and biodegradable, compostable, recyclable packaging...

New 100% biodegradable Cabreiroá water bottle.

What are the advantages of aluminum, paper or biobased polymer packaging? What are your problems still?

The Cabreiroá brand[1] —of the Spanish company Hijos de Rivera[2]— has just presented, at the Bilbao Food 4 Future fair[3], a 100% biodegradable compostable bottle[4]. It is a container produced with PLA[5], a bio-based polymer in sugar cane that does not generate waste, degrades after less than 90 days of industrial composting, unlike the centuries it takes for a plastic bottle to disappear in the ocean. Cabreiroá's packaging also takes care of the labels, pigments and inks, otherwise it would be an absurd product.

This company's commitment to reuse, recycle, regenerate and minimize dates back to other initiatives —such as the one they signed two years ago launching eco-returnable glass containers[6]  or the attempt to sell water in bricks from the recycling of other bottles. The company, whose water and healthy drinks business is run by Álvaro García de Quevedo, focuses its ecological transition on three legs: eco-packaging, the reduction of CO2 emissions at its own spring and the environmental activism of its participation in social projects.

All in all, García de Quevedo himself recognised in the presentation of the new bottle that its entry into the market is going to be progressive, that is, slow. Why?

There are several beverage brands that have tried to stop using plastic bottles. In 2019, the Cove Water bottle appeared, 100% compostable. In the United Kingdom, One Less Bottle[7] and in the United States Just Water[8] are made with materials that come largely (82%) from vegetables[9] and reduce carbon emissions by 72%.

CanO Water can, recyclable aluminum alternative.

There are also aluminum cans, such as the British CanO Water[10], because this material can be recycled for centuries.

However, the world of packaging, with refill options in stores[11], is a place of continuous change and transformation that is as incipient as it is necessary. But only nascent. That is why companies do a lot of research and make little progress.

There are many factors to take into account. There is, of course, the price of the bottles, the machinery they need, the water consumption they make for their own recycling, the vegetable matter they dedicate to the production of the containers or the need to industrially compost that number of bottles. All these criteria generate doubts that slow down an urgent change that, possibly, points towards an unexpected direction or towards several at the same time: change in the consumption habit, to the use of the bottles that we carry with us, to the economic penalty for not recycling or, even, to the civic world that would mean a return to the sources.

[4] Until not long ago, plastic bottles could not be squeezed so that they took up less space in the garbage can. The companies solved it by decreasing its thickness and drawing some bending guides in their design. With this little innovation, bottles fold up easily today. In this way, more used units fit in the same bin, the use of garbage bags is reduced and the trips of the collection trucks are optimized. But there is still a lot of room to refine a package and reduce its environmental impact. And it is that for Coca-Cola the containers represent 40% of its carbon footprint of the value chain. As its goal is to be emissions neutral by 2040 in Europe, Coca-Cola is working on improving the sustainability of its packaging and moving forward to achieve the bottle of the future. https://elpais.com/branded_content/2021-12-10/el-camino-hacia-el-envase-del-futuro.html

[5] Polylactic acid, also known as poly(lactic acid) poly, lactic, acid or polylactide (PLA), is a thermoplastic polyester with backbone formula (C3H4O2)n or [–C(CH3)HC(=O)O–]n, formally obtained by condensation of lactic acid C(CH3)(OH)HCOOH with loss of water (hence its name). It can also be prepared by ring-opening polymerization of lactide [–C(CH3)HC(=O)O–]2, the cyclic dimer of the basic repeating unit.

[6] A group of sustainability specialists have created a platform where they compile reports and studies so that companies that manufacture or market packaging can design them and reduce their carbon footprint;  https://elpais.com/sociedad/proyecto-origen/2021-05-19/el-cambio-medioambiental-empieza-en-un-manantial-gallego.html

La arquitectura de las relaciones | Miguel Ángel Díaz Camacho

La escuela Montessori de Herman Hertzberger supuso una profunda revisión del programa educativo de aulas y corredores1, proponiendo un sistema de relaciones capaz de estimular nuevas situaciones y entornos para el aprendizaje. La escala doméstica de la escuela propone en sí misma una cierta familiaridad, una empatía natural con el primer universo de los niños: la casa. La entrada, única, se presenta como una primera habitación exterior, un espacio de encuentro delicadamente establecido entre la diagonal de paso y sus rincones estanciales intramuros.

“Acho que Tolstoi se enganava quando dizia que as famílias infelizes tinham cada uma sua história enquanto as felizes contavam sempre a mesma. Há um milhão de maneiras de ser feliz. O problema é que a frase de Tolstoi é tão bonita que não nos damos conta de que não é correta. Ninguém se pergunta se é ou não. Tem autoridade, mas nem toda a beleza é verdade.”

“Estamos muito distraídos. Consultamos o celular uma média de 120 vezes por dia, e um romance requer tempo. Há uma tendência a pensar que se você está lendo um livro é porque não tem nada para fazer. Como leitor busco autoridade: se você lê a primeira página, quase de imediato pode saber se está em boas mãos. A inteligência é crucial. Não só a imaginação. Gosto de ler alguém preparado para dizer algo sobre o mundo.”

“Para minha geração [as drogas] eram um símbolo de liberação, mas hoje estão enredadas com a pobreza, vão de mãos dadas, como siameses. Para um rico, as drogas podem ser um luxo. Para os pobres são sempre um poço.”

“Sou contra qualquer religião. Não vão desaparecer, mas como instituições estão demonstrando que não fazem com que as pessoas se comportem melhor. Acho que elas têm muitas explicações a dar sobre seu apoio à repressão sexual, a falta de curiosidade sobre o mundo e o tratamento das crianças. Alguém que não pode tratar bem as crianças está em bancarrota ética.”

“Na infância nada dura. Tudo é transição. Mas acho que se tivermos filhos nossa morte importa um pouco menos.”

“Nem todos querem matar o pai. Acho que Freud estava errado. Em tudo.”

“É difícil imaginar a existência de seus pais antes de sua chegada. O contexto social decide. Se você cresceu nos anos cinquenta, seus pais não falavam com você, davam ordens. Amavam você, mas não se sentavam para falar de Deus ou biologia. Na década de sessenta, e esse é o benefício não analisado daquela década, as relações humanas entre adultos e crianças ficaram mais relaxadas. Não me lembro de nenhuma conversa transcendente com meus pais até ter 20 ou 30 anos, e fiz algumas perguntas. Saio de férias com meus filhos, mas quando tinha 17 anos tudo que queria era ir embora de casa.”

“A felicidade é um tema perigoso. As pessoas perguntam como você se atreve a ser feliz da forma como anda o mundo.”

“É importante sair e se colocar à prova, mas a Inglaterra é o meu tema. Se tivesse 22 anos eu iria para Berlim. Vou comer regularmente com Tim Garton Ash e na última vez ele me contou que se Le Pen ganhasse, muitos judeus franceses emigrariam. Quando perguntei aonde iriam, ele me pediu para adivinhar: para a Alemanha. Que guinada da história.”

- Alguns momentos da entrevista que o escritor Ian McEwan concedeu à jornalista e historiadora Anatxu Zabalbeascoa, para o El País.
