Iimveliso zeBamboo: Ukuqala iNkqubo yeHlabathi yokuNcitshiswa kwePlastiki

Kwiphulo lokufumana ezinye iindlela ezizinzileyo nezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo endaweni yeemveliso zeplastiki zemveli, iimveliso zefayibha yebhambo ziye zavela njengesisombululo esithembisayo. Ivela kwindalo, ifayibha yebhambo yinto ebola ngokukhawuleza esetyenziswa kakhulu endaweni yeplastiki. Olu tshintsho alupheleli nje ekuhlangabezaneni nemfuno yoluntu yeemveliso ezikumgangatho ophezulu kodwa lukwahambelana nokukhuthaza ihlabathi ukuba kubekho iindlela ezisebenzisa ikhabhoni ephantsi kunye nezenzo ezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo.

Iimveliso zebhambu zithathwe kwi-pulp yebhambu evuselelekayo, nto leyo eyenza ukuba zibe yindawo efanelekileyo yokuthatha indawo yeplastiki. Ezi mveliso zibola ngokukhawuleza, zibuyele kwindalo kwaye zinciphisa kakhulu umthwalo wokulahla inkunkuma kwindalo. Oku kubola kwezinto eziphilayo kukhuthaza umjikelo olungileyo wokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo, onegalelo kwikamva elizinzileyo.

Amazwe kunye nemibutho kwihlabathi liphela iqaphele amandla eemveliso zebhambo kwaye ijoyine iphulo "lokunciphisa iplastiki", nganye inikela ngezisombululo zayo eziluhlaza.

1. iTshayina
I-China ithathe indima ephambili kule ntshukumo. Urhulumente waseTshayina, ngokubambisana ne-International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation, baqalise iphulo elithi “Bamboo endaweni yePlastic”. Eli phulo ligxile ekutshintsheni iimveliso zeplastiki ngeemveliso ze-bamboo kuphela kunye nezinto ezidityanisiweyo ezisekelwe kwi-bamboo. Iziphumo zibe nomtsalane: xa kuthelekiswa nowama-2022, ixabiso elipheleleyo leemveliso eziphambili phantsi kweli phulo linyuke ngaphezulu kwama-20%, kwaye izinga lokusetyenziswa ngokupheleleyo kwe-bamboo linyuke ngama-20 ekhulwini.

2. I-United States
I-United States ikwathathe amanyathelo abalulekileyo ekunciphiseni inkunkuma yeplastiki. Ngokutsho kwe-US Environmental Protection Agency, inkunkuma yeplastiki kweli lizwe inyuke ukusuka kwi-0.4% yenkunkuma yonke kamasipala ngo-1960 ukuya kwi-12.2% ngo-2018. Ukuphendula oku, iinkampani ezifana ne-Alaska Airlines kunye ne-American Airlines zithathe amanyathelo asebenzayo. I-Alaska Airlines yabhengeza ngoMeyi ka-2018 ukuba iza kuphelisa iingca zeplastiki kunye neefolokhwe zeziqhamo, ngelixa i-American Airlines itshintshe iimveliso zeplastiki ngeentonga zokuxuba zebamboo kuzo zonke iinqwelomoya eziqala ngoNovemba ka-2018. Olu tshintsho luqikelelwa ukuba lunciphisa inkunkuma yeplastiki ngaphezulu kweepawundi ezingama-71,000 (malunga neekhilogram ezingama-32,000) ngonyaka.

Ukuqukumbela, iimveliso ze-bamboo zidlala indima ebalulekileyo kwintshukumo yehlabathi "yokunciphisa iplastiki". Ukubola kwazo ngokukhawuleza kunye nokuvuselelwa kwazo kuzenza zibe yindlela efanelekileyo endaweni yeplastiki yendabuko, nto leyo enceda ekudaleni ihlabathi elizinzileyo nelinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo.
