Izinkomishi zeplastiki seziye zaba yinto evamile empilweni yansuku zonke, zisetshenziswa kakhulu ezindaweni zokudlela, emakhafini, nasezinhlelweni ngenxa yokuba lula nokubiza kancane. Kusukela ezinkomishini ezingu-14oz kuya ezincane ezingu-30ml, zisebenza ngezinhloso ezahlukene, zifaka izidingo ezahlukene zokuphuza. Ubukhulu bazo obulula nokuhlala isikhathi eside kubenza babe yinketho eheha amabhizinisi nabathengi. Nokho, le mikhuba evamile ibangele ukukhathazeka okukhulu ngemvelo. Uhlobo lokusebenzisa izinkomishi zeplastiki eziningi, ezilahlwayo, luholela kakhulu ekungcolisweni nasekuchithweni kwemfucumfucu, kuveza izingxoxo zomhlaba wonke mayelana nokuphila okuqhubekayo. Njengoba ukuqwashisa ngempembelelo yemvelo kukhula, imikhakha nezithengi zifuna ezinye izinketho ezigcina lula ngaphandle kokwephula impilo yemvelo.

Ukukhula kokuthandwa kwamakhompyutha epulasitiki, kuhlanganisa nezinhlelo ezintsha ezifana ne-lid entsha ye-Starbucks, kugcizelela isidingo somthengi sokuba nezinkomishi zokuphuza ezisebenzayo kodwa ezilahlwayo. Naphezu kwezinzuzo zazo, umthelela wemvelo wale mikhiqizo awukwazi ukuhoxiswa. Inselelo ikwi-bhalansi phakathi kwezinzuzo zamakhompyutha epulasitiki kanye nesidingo esiphuthumayo sokunciphisa udoti lwepulasitiki kanye nemiphumela yalo emibi ezinhlelweni zokuphila emhlabeni jikelele. Le ndatshana ihlola ukusetshenziswa kwamanje kwamakhompyutha epulasitiki, imiphumela yawo emvelweni, izinketho ezisimeme, nokuthi izinkampani ezifana ne-Guangdong Teguan Industrial Co., Ltd. zikhangisa kanjani izixazululo ezihambisana nemvelo.

Ukusetshenziswa kwezinkomishi yepulasitiki ezilahlwayo kuyaqhubeka nokukhula emhlabeni wonke. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi izigidi zezinkomishi yepulasitiki, kusukela ezinkomishini ezivamile ezingu-14oz kuya osayizi abancane njengezinkomishi ezingu-30ml, zisetshenziswa minyaka yonke. E-United States yodwa, izinkomishi yepulasitiki ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-100 ziyalahlwa minyaka yonke, okufaka isandla kakhulu kudoti lepulasitiki. Emhlabeni wonke, isidingo samapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye alahlwayo, okubandakanya izinkomishi, siye sanda ngenxa yokwanda kwabantu kanye nokwanda komkhakha wokudla neziphuzo.

Ukukhiqizwa kwepulasitiki emhlabeni jikelele kufinyelele cishe emathoneni angama-400 million ezinsukwini zakamuva, kanti iphesenti elikhulu linikezelwe ezinsizakusebenza zokupakisha. Amakhefu okuphuzwayo akha ingxenye ebalulekile kuleli qembu lokupakisha. Ukuxhumana phakathi kokwanda kokusetshenziswa kwamakhefu okuphuzwayo nokukhula kokukhiqizwa kwepulasitiki kubeka ingozi enkulu ekugcineni kwemvelo. Lezi zibaluli zikhombisa isidingo esiphuthumayo sokuthi umkhakha wezokudla nezokuphuza uthathe izindlela nezinsizakusebenza ezinzile ukuze unciphise umthelela wemvelo wezinsalela zeplastiki.

Izinkomishi sepulasitiki, nakuba zilula ukuzisebenzisa, ziyimbangela enkulu yokungcola kwemvelo. Izinkomishi eziningi sepulasitiki zenziwa ngezinto ezivela emafutheni ezimbiwa njenge-polystyrene noma i-polypropylene, ezithatha amakhulu eminyaka ukubola emvelweni. Uma zilahlwa kabi, lezi zinkomishi zivame ukugcina emifuleni, olwandle, nasemadumeni, zibeka ingozi ezilwaneni nasemvelweni. Izilwane zasolwandle zivame ukudla izinto sepulasitiki, okubangela ukulimala noma ukufa futhi kuphazamise izinto zokudla.

Isikhathi sokwehliswa kwamakhompyutha epulasitiki sikhathazekile, sivame ukudlula eminyakeni engama-400. Ngesikhathi eside, ipulasitiki ihlukaniswa yaba yimicroplastics, iphazamisa umhlabathi namanzi futhi ingena ethunjini lokudla. Ukuphinda usebenzise amakhompyutha epulasitiki kukhombisa enye inselelo. Izikhungo eziningi azamukeli amakhompyutha epolasitiki noma amakhompyutha ahlanganisiwe ngenxa yokungcoliswa noma ukungabi nenzuzo kwezomnotho. Lokhu kuholela ekutheni inqwaba enkulu yamakhompyutha epulasitiki ibhujiswe emathuneni noma igcotshwe, kokubili okukhombisa imiphumela emibi emvelweni, kuhlanganisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ye-greenhouse nemikhiqizo enobuthi.

Uphendula ezinkingeni zemvelo ezihambisana neziphoqwe sepulasitiki, izindlela ezizinzile ziyatholakala. Izinketho zihlanganisa iziphoqwe ezingonakali ezenziwe ngezinto ezifana nesitashi sommbila, imfucumfucu yomoba, kanye ne-PLA (polylactic acid). Lezi zinto zibola ngokushesha futhi zinciphisa umthelela omubi emvelweni esikhathini eside. Ngokwesibonelo, amabhizinisi amaningi ayayishintsha izinkomishi zepulasitiki ezinkulu zamamitha angu-32 ezinkomishi ezijwayelekile zibe izinkomishi ezingonakali ezihlangabezana nezindinganiso eziqinile zemvelo.

Ukudlulela ezinkampanini ezizinzile kudinga ukuhlela ngokucophelela. Amabhizinisi angaqala ngokuhlola ukusetshenziswa kwawo okwamanje bese ethula kancane imikhiqizo enobungane bemvelo, efundisa abasebenzi nabathengi ngezinsiza, futhi establishes izinhlelo ezifanele zokulahla noma zokubumba. Izinto ezintsha ezifana nezinkomishi ezisetshenziswayo kanye nokukhuthaza abathengi ukuba balele izinkomishi zabo nazo ziyizindlela ezisebenzayo. Ukuhlanganisa lezi zindlela kusiza ukunciphisa ukuncika ezinkomishini zeplastiki ezisetshenziswayo kuphela ngenkathi kugcinwa ukwaneliseka kwabathengi kanye nokusebenza kahle.

I-Guangdong Teguan Industrial Co., Ltd. ingumholi wezixazululo zokupakisha ezihambisana nemvelo, egxile ezindleleni ezizinzile zezinkomishi sepulasitiki. Le nkampani inikeza uhla olubanzi lwezinkomishi ezingonakali futhi ezingadliwa ezakhiwe ngezinto ezivuselelekayo ezihambisana nezitifiketi ze-FDA ne-ISO 9001. Imikhiqizo yabo ihlanganisa osayizi abahlukahlukene njengezinkomishi ezingu-14oz namanye amakhulu, eklanyelwe ukuhlangabezana namazinga emboni ngenkathi inciphisa umthelela emvelweni.

Ukuzibophezela kwe-Guangdong Teguan ekuzinzeni kubonakala ezindleleni zayo zokukhiqiza ezithuthukile eziqinisekisa ikhwalithi, ukuphepha, kanye nesibopho semvelo. Izinkomishi zazo sepulasitiki ezihambisana nemvelo ziklanyelwe ukubola ngempumelelo, kunciphisa ukuqoqwa kwemfucumfucu kanye nokungcola. Amabhizinisi afuna ukwamukela ezinye izindlela eziluhlaza angahlola uhlu olubanzi lwemikhiqizo yenkampani nezitifiketi zokuqinisekiswa kwekhwalithi nokuhambisana. Ngeminye imininingwane, vakashela i-Imikhiqizo ikhasi le Guangdong Teguan Industrial Co., Ltd.

Ukusetshenziswa kabanzi kwezinkomishi sepulasitiki kubeka izinselelo ezinkulu zemvelo, ikakhulukazi ezihlobene nokungcola nokuphathwa kukadoti. Ukulwa nalezi zinkinga, ukwamukela izindlela ezizinzile nezingalimazi imvelo kubalulekile. Amabhizinisi nabathengi bobabili badlala indima ebalulekile ekushintsheni ngokukhetha izinketho ezibola kalula futhi ezingadala umquba, ukusekela izinkampani ezifana ne-Guangdong Teguan Industrial Co., Ltd. eziphambili ekuzinzeni, nokukhuthaza ukulahlwa ngokuzwela.

Ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwepulasitiki akuvikeli kuphela izinhlelo zokuphila kodwa futhi kuhambisana nezinhloso zomhlaba jikelele zokugcina imvelo nokusebenza kahle kwezinsiza. Ngokwamukela izinto ezintsha, ukuthuthukisa izakhiwo zokuphinda zisetshenziswe, nokukhuthaza ukuqwashisa, imboni yokudla nezokuphuza ingahola indlela iye esikhathini esiluhlaza. Ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngokuqinisekiswa kweGuangdong Teguan nemikhiqizo yabo, vakashela ku-Mayelana Nathi ikhasi futhi uhlale unolwazi ngokusebenzisa i-Izindaba isigaba.
