Izinkomishi zamanzi epulasitikibekulokhu kuyizinto ezilahlwayo ezijwayelekile ezimpilweni zabantu.Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yomthelela omubi wokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki endaweni nempilo, i-European Union ithathe uchungechunge lwezinyathelo zokukhawulela ukuthengiswa kwezinkomishi zamanzi zepulasitiki.Lezi zinyathelo zihlose ukunciphisa ukukhiqizwa kwemfucuza yepulasitiki esetshenziswa kanye, ukuvikela imvelo kanye nokukhuthaza intuthuko esimeme.
Okokuqala, i-European Union yaphasisa I-Single-Use Plastics Directive ngo-2019. Ngokomyalelo, i-EU izovimbela ukuthengiswa kwezinto ezivamile emikhiqizweni yepulasitiki esetshenziswa kanye, okuhlanganisa izinkomishi zepulasitiki, utshani, i-tableware nama-cotton buds.Lokhu kusho ukuthi abathengisi ngeke besakwazi ukuhlinzeka noma ukuthengisa lezi zinto ezinqatshelwe, futhi umbuso udinga ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuqinisekisa ukuthi umyalelo uyasetshenziswa.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-EU iphinde ikhuthaze amazwe angamalungu ukuthi athathe ezinye izinyathelo ezivimbelayo, njengokukhokhiswa intela yezikhwama zepulasitiki kanye nokusungulwa kwezinhlelo zokugaywa kabusha kwamabhodlela epulasitiki.Lezi zinhlelo zihlose ukuqwashisa ngemfucuza yepulasitiki futhi zibenze baqaphele kakhulu imvelo.Ngokwandisa izindleko zemikhiqizo yepulasitiki nokuhlinzeka ngezinye izindlela ezisebenzayo, i-EU inethemba lokuthi abathengi bazoshintshela ezinkethweni ezisimeme, njengokusebenzisa izibuko zokuphuza ezingasetshenziswa kabusha noma izinkomishi zephepha.
Le mikhawulo yokuthengisa inomthelela omkhulu endaweni ezungezile.Imikhiqizo yepulasitiki esetshenziswa kanye ivamise ukusetshenziswa ngendlela ekhiqizwa ngobuningi futhi ilahlwe ngokushesha, okuholela ekutheni inqwaba yemfucumfucu yepulasitiki ingene endaweni yemvelo futhi ibangele ukulimala kwezilwane zasendle kanye nemvelo.Ngokukhawulela ukuthengiswa kwezinto ezifana nezinkomishi zamanzi zepulasitiki, i-EU inethemba lokunciphisa ukukhiqizwa kwemfucuza yepulasitiki futhi ikhuthaze ukusetshenziswa kwezinsiza okusimeme kanye nomnotho oyindilinga.
Nokho, lezi zinyathelo ziphinde zibhekane nezinselele nezimpikiswano.Okokuqala, abanye abathengisi nabakhiqizi bangase bangeneme ngokuthengisa okukhawulelwe ngenxa yomthelela okungenzeka kube nawo ebhizinisini labo.Okwesibili, imikhuba yabathengi nezinto abazithandayo nazo zidinga ukuzivumelanisa nalezi zinguquko.Abantu abaningi bajwayele ukusebenzisa amapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye, futhi ukuthatha ezinye izindlela ezisimeme kungathatha isikhathi nemfundo.
Noma kunjalo, kuyaphawuleka ukuthi isinyathelo se-EU sokukhawulela ukuthengiswa kwezinkomishi zamanzi zepulasitiki kungenxa yentuthuko esimeme yesikhathi eside nokuvikelwa kwemvelo.Ikhumbuza abantu ukuthi bacabange kabusha imikhuba yokusetshenziswa, kuyilapho ikhuthaza ukuqanjwa kabusha kanye nokuncintisana kwezimakethe ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuthuthukiswa kwemikhiqizo nezisombululo ezingayingeni imvelo.
Kafushane, i-EU ithathe izinyathelo zokukhawulela ukuthengiswa kwemikhiqizo yepulasitiki elahlwa njengezinkomishi zamanzi zepulasitiki ukunciphisa umthelela omubi wemfucuza yepulasitiki endaweni ezungezile.Nakuba lezi zinyathelo zingase zize nezinselele ezithile, zingasiza ekuqhubekiseleni phambili izinketho ezisimeme futhi zikhuthaze ukusungula izinto ezintsha kanye noshintsho lwemakethe olubheke ekusaseni eliluhlaza.
