Ukuvalwa ekusebenziseni iiplastiki kulibazisekile kude kube nge-1 kaJuni

Kwakuqala ukucwangciselwa uJanuwari 1. Yabekelwa elinye ixesha ukuya ku-Matshi 28. Okokugqibela, izakuba nge-1 kaJulayi xa umthetho usiyalela iiplastiki Usetyenziso olunye.

Kuthathwe isigqibo ngaphakathi kwesakhelo somthetho kwi inguqu amandla Yaziswa ngo-Agasti, ukuthintela ukusetyenziswa kweebhegi zeplastiki eziye zacazululwa yiKhomishini yaseYurophu kunye neBhunga likaRhulumente, ukucacisa uhlobo lweengxowa ezichaphazelekayo ngokunxulumene nemigaqo yaseYurophu.

Ekugqibeleni kuya kuba njalo iiplastiki ngobukhulu obungaphantsi kwama-50 micrometer, nokuba ithini na, kwaye isimahla okanye ihlawulwe, eya kuthi ithintelwe kwiibhokisi zevenkile ukusukela nge-1 kaJulayi 2016. Ukusukela nge-1 kaJanuwari 2017, nazo ziyakwaliwa kwaye zingavunyelwa zonke iiplastiki ezisebenzisa into enye kunye nokupakisha, kubandakanya nezo zinikezelwe ukupakisha iziqhamo kunye nemifuno, okanye itshizi. Inkqubo ye- abathengi Kuya kufuneka basebenzise iibhegi ezinokuphinda zisebenze, ngaphezulu kwe-50 micrometer, okanye iingxowa zephepha.

Ngaphandle kokungena kokusebenza kwe umthetho wokunyanzeliswa, iivenkile ezininzi ezinkulu seziyekile ukusebenzisa iiplastiki zokusebenzisa into enye. Ngokwe-Federation of Commerce and Distribution Companies, inani leebhegi ezisasazwa ziimpawu ziya kunyuka ukusuka kwi-10,5 yezigidigidi ukuya kwi-700 yezigidi ngonyaka ukusayina melwano ivolontiya Ngo-2003. Amashishini amaninzi afuna ukuba abathengi bahlawule iisenti ezingama-3-5 ukuze babarhwebeshe ukuba beze neebhegi zabo ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe.

Ngo-2010, inani le iiplastiki ishiywe endle ngonyaka kwinqanaba laseYurophu yayizigidi ezingama-8000. Ngokwesiqhelo ingaphantsi kwemizuzu engama-20 iyasetyenziswa, phakathi kokusasazwa kwivenkile kunye nokukhupha izinto ozithengileyo ekhaya. Nangona kunjalo, ibhegi ithatha phakathi kweminyaka eli-100 ukuya kwengama-400 ukwehla.

Obu bomi besibini bunobungozi ngakumbi kwi inyama olwandle. Ufudo, izilwanyana ezanyisayo, kunye neentaka zingaziginya zize zitshone. Ngokophando olwapapashwa ngo-2015, izilwanyana ezingama-700 zaselwandle ngeza kuwela indlela yenkunkuma yeplastiki emanzini, kwaye i-10% yabo bantu ngewayebeyingenisile.
