Ixabiso eliphantsi, ukusetyenziswa kakuhle, ukusetyenzwa lula kunye nokuveliswa, ukukhanya, kunye neempawu ezizinzileyo zomzimba kunye neekhemikhali, iiplastiki zazibhekwa njengenye yezona zinto "ziphumelele kakhulu" ezenziwe ngumntu kwimbali. Nangona kunjalo, ngokuhambelana nesixa esikhulu sokusetyenziswa, isixa senkunkuma yeplastiki eveliswayo sikwakubunzima.
Kuyaziwa ukuba ixesha eliqhelekileyo lokusetyenziswa kwesikhwama seplastiki yimizuzu engama-25. Umzekelo, akhupha ibhegi yokupakisha, ukusuka ekusetyenzisweni ukupakisha ukuya kulahlwa, kukho imizuzu elishumi kuphela emfutshane. Emva kokuba umsebenzi uphelile, ezi plastiki zithunyelwa kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma okanye kwiindawo zokulahla okanye zilahlwe ngqo elwandle.
Kodwa sisenokungazi, kukuba kuthatha iminyaka engaphezulu kwama-400 ukuthoba isidima sengxowa nganye yeplastiki, eyimizuzu eyi-262.8 yezigidi…
Hingaba iplastiki inobungozi?
Iiplastiki ziye zaxelwa njengengxaki kwimo engqongileyo yaselwandle ukususela ngeminyaka yoo-1970. Kwaye kwiminyaka yakutshanje, inkxalabo evela kuluntu lonke iye yanda kakhulu.
Uninzi lwenkunkuma engcolisa iBay yiplastiki, ehlala ihleli kwindawo kangangamakhulu eminyaka. I-90% yenkunkuma kwiindlela zethu zamanzi ayiwohloki.
Othenga isilwanyana
Uphononongo olwenziwa yi-San Francisco Estuary Institute lubonise ukuba iindawo zokucocwa kwamanzi amdaka ze-Bay Area zikhuphe i-7,000,000 iincinci zeplastiki eziqikelelwayo ngosuku ukuya eSan Francisco Bay, njengoko izikrini zabo zincinci ngokwaneleyo ukuba zibabambe. Iiplastiki ezincinci zifunxa ungcoliseko zize zisongele izilwanyana zasendle ezizityileyo.
IiPCB yenye into eyityhefu engcolisa intlenga yeBay. Ii-PCB zifumaneka kwizinto zokwakha ezindala kwaye zingena eBhayi ngokubaleka kwamanzi asezidolophini.
Intabalala yezondlo eBay—efana nenitrogen—kunokubangela iintyatyambo zealgal eziyingozi ezisongela iintlanzi nezinye izilwanyana zasendle. Ezinye i-algal blooms nazo ziyingozi ebantwini, ezibangela i-rashes kunye nesifo sokuphefumla.
Imigaqo-nkqubo yokuvalwa kweplastiki
Ungcoliseko lweplastiki yaselwandle lube yinkxalabo ebalulekileyo yokusingqongileyo koorhulumente, izazinzulu, imibutho engekho phantsi kukarhulumente, kunye namalungu oluntu kwihlabathi liphela. Ngelixa imigaqo-nkqubo yokunciphisa i-microbeads yaqala ngo-2014, ukungenelela kwiingxowa zeplastiki kwaqala kakhulu ngo-1991.
-Aquariums band kunye "AKUKHO TRAW NOVEMBA", Novemba 1, 2018
- Iplastiki yavalwa e-United States ngo-1979, nakwi-front international kwi-2001.
-ICanada ijolise ekuthinteleni ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki enye ngo-2021
-IPeru ithintela ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki enye nge-17 kaJanuwari 2019
-I-SAN DIEGO ivala izikhongozeli zokutya neziselo ze-Styrofoam ngo-Jan 2019
-Washington, DC, ukuvalwa kwengca yeplastiki kuqala ngoJulayi ka-2019
- "Ukuvalwa kwePlastiki" ngoku kuphunyezwe ngokusemthethweni e-China ukusukela nge-1 kaJanuwari ka-2021
Iphepha linokuba lilo elitshintshayo kule meko.
Kufuneka ibe yintoni isicwangciso sam sokupakisha ukuba ufuna ukuya ngaphandle kweplastiki? Isenokuba ngumbuzo kwiingqondo zeenkampani ezininzi. Kwiindawo ezibalaseleyo zongcoliseko lweplastiki kunye neendawo ezivelayo ezifana ne-e-commerce, ukuhanjiswa okucacileyo, kunye nokuhanjiswa kokutya, urhwebo lwe-e-commerce, ukuhanjiswa okucacileyo, kunye namashishini athathayo akhula ngokukhawuleza. Xa kungekho ngxowa yeplastiki ekuthengeni ukutya kunye nokuthatha, kungekho straw yeplastiki xa usela isiselo, ngokungathandabuzekiyo kuya kuchaphazela ubomi bemihla ngemihla yabantu abaninzi. Yintoni enokusetyenziswa endaweni yeemveliso zeplastiki?
Eco-friendly Izinto zasekhaya kunye neemveliso zococeko akufuneki zithunyelwe kuwe ngempahla eyonakalisa umhlaba wethu. Kule meko, i-biodegradable material yinto ephambili ekufuneka iqwalaselwe, oko kukuthi iphepha. Enye yezona zinto zinkulu ehlabathini zokusila i-APP iye yachaza iinjongo zayo zika-2020 kwaye yamkele ngokusebenzayo izenzo ezizinzileyo zokuphumeza iinjongo zayo ezichazwe kwi-Sustainability Roadmap ka-2020. Iphepha lethu le-kraft kunye nebhodi ye-liner zinokonakala nge-100%, kunye ne-bio lamination yethu i-biodegradable. Ukhetho oluzinzileyo ngakumbi kwindlela engenazo iplastiki.
