Iingcebiso ezili-12 ezisebenzayo zePlastic Free July: Easy Swaps & Actionable Guide

Jnceda ujonge kumlo wehlabathi nxamnye nongcoliseko lweplastiki! Fumanisa indlela yokuzibandakanya kwiPlastic Free July. Ukususela kutshintsho olulula lwemihla ngemihla ukuya kumanyathelo amakhulu oluntu, la macebiso asebenzayo aya kunceda nabani na ukuba akhe indlela yokuphila ezinzileyo, engenaplastiki kwaye anegalelo kwiplanethi ecocekileyo.

Okwangoku, malunga ne-40% yomphezulu wolwandle igqunywe yinkunkuma yeplastiki. Ukuba iindlela zokusetyenziswa ngoku ziyaqhubeka, kuya kubakho iplastiki eninzi kuneentlanzi elwandle ngo-2025. Uninzi lweemveliso zeplastiki ezisetyenziswa kanye zithatha ukuya kuthi ga kwiminyaka engama-500 ukubola, nto leyo eshiya umonakalo ongalungisekiyo kwindalo emhlabeni nakwiindawo ezingqongileyo zaselwandle.

Yintoni iJulayi engenaplastiki?

PI-Lastiki yasimahla kaJulayi liphulo lehlabathi lokusingqongileyo elasekwa eNtshona Ostreliya ngo-2011 nguRebecca Prince-Ruiz.

Emva kokutyelela iziko lasekuhlaleni lokusebenzisa iplastiki, uRebecca wabona imida yokusetyenziswa kweplastiki: inkunkuma eninzi ephinda isetyenziswe ithunyelwa phesheya, ingcwatywe kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma, okanye ilahlwe kwindalo. Kwiimeko ezininzi, ukuphinda isetyenziswe akusombululi unobangela wongcoliseko lweplastiki.

Eqonda ukuba utshintsho olukhulu alunakwenzeka ngephanyazo, waqala kancinci. Waqokelela iqela labasebenzi bakarhulumente basekhaya abangama-40 ukuze bagqibezele umngeni wokunciphisa iplastiki wenyanga enye, ejolise ekunciphiseni ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki esetyenziswa kanye kubomi bemihla ngemihla.

Oko kwaqala njengeprojekthi encinci yoluntu kuye kwakhula kwaba yintshukumo yehlabathi lonke enezigidi zabathathi-nxaxheba minyaka le. Ngowama-2023 kuphela, iPlastic Free July incede ekunciphiseniIikhilogram ezingama-250 zenkunkuma yeplastiki yehlabathiNamhlanje, eli phulo lidlulela ngaphaya komngeni wenyanga enye, liqhuba utshintsho oluzinzileyo lwemigaqo-nkqubo kunye nokusebenza kubantu ngabanye, amashishini kunye noorhulumente kwihlabathi liphela.

Indlela Yokuzibandakanya Kwi-Julayi Engenaplastiki

TZiphe ixesha lokujonga indawo yakho, kwaye uza kufumana iimveliso zeplastiki kuyo yonke indawo. Ukususela ekupakisheni ukutya ukuya kwizinto zokucoca zemihla ngemihla, iplastiki elahlwayo iye yaba yinxalenye engenakuphepheka yobomi banamhlanje.

Imveliso yeplastiki yehlabathi ifikelele kwi-380 yezigidi zeetoni ngo-2021. Ukuze siqonde eli nani limangalisayo, itoni enye ilingana nobunzima be-moose endala, ingwenya yasemanzini anetyuwa, i-great white shark, okanye i-Volkswagen Beetle yakudala ka-1979. Uninzi lwale plastiki lwenzelwe ukupakisha okwethutyana, olujika lube yinkunkuma engapheliyo ngokukhawuleza.

I-Plastic Free Foundation izibophelele ekukhuliseni ulwazi malunga nokusingqongileyo ixesha elide, ikhuthaza uphuhliso oluzinzileyo kumashishini nakwiindawo. Ngethamsanqa, utshintsho olunentsingiselo alufuni uhlengahlengiso olugqithisileyo kwindlela yokuphila. Wonke umntu angaqala ngohlengahlengiso oluncinci noluhambelanayo.

Apha ngezantsi kukhoIingcebiso ezili-12 ezisebenzayo nezilungele abaqalayoukuqalisa uhambo lwakho lwePlastic Free July, ugubungela ukutshintshwa kwemizi yonke imihla kunye neenkqubo ezinzulu zoluntu.

Iindlela ezili-12 zokuTshintsha iiplastiki ngokukhawuleza ukuze uqalise iplastiki yakho yasimahla ngoJulayi

TEzi nguqu zilula zijolise kwinkunkuma yeplastiki eqhelekileyo yasekhaya, ezingafuni kulungiswa nzima ngelixa zibonelela ngeenzuzo ezibonakalayo kwindalo esingqongileyo:

1. Iingxowa zeplastiki ezilahlwayo →Iingxowa zokugcina i-mesh ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe(Ilula, iyahlanjwa kwaye ihlala ixesha elide xa uthenga ukutya okutsha kunye nokugcina ukutya okutsha)

2. Iingxowa zeplastiki ezincinci zokutya → Iingxowa ezinkulu zelaphu ezingasetyenziswa kwakhona ukuze zisetyenziswe imihla ngemihla ixesha elide

3. Ifilimu yeplastiki yokuncamathelisa kunye neebhegi zokutya ezilahlwayo →Ukupakisha iphepha le-kraft elinokugqunywa(Ayinaplastiki, iyaphefumla kwaye icocekile kwaye ayinangcoliseko lweplastiki)

4. Izikhongozeli zeplastiki ezisetyenziswa kanye kuphela → Iibhokisi zokutya ezibolayo nezingenako ukuvuza, ezingatshiyo

5. Iingca zeplastiki kunye nezixhobo zokusela ezilahlwayo → Iiseti zeetafile ze-bamboo kunye ne-stainless steel ezingasetyenziswa kwakhona

6. Iibhotile zamanzi zeplastiki ezilahlwayo → Iibhotile zeglasi okanye zentsimbi engatyiwayo ezihlala ixesha elide ezingasetyenziswa kwakhona

7. Iibhotile zokutshiza zokucoca ngeplastiki → Iibhotile zokugcina iglasi eziphinda zisetyenziswe kwakhona ezizaliswayo

8. Iteyiphu yokupakisha yeplastiki → Iteyiphu yephepha enokugqunywa ngokupheleleyo ukuze ipakishwe kwaye ihluzwe ekhaya

9. Iibhrashi zezitya zeplastiki → Iibhrashi zokucoca ifayibha yezityalo zendalo

10. Iiwipes zeplastiki zokuthambisa ezilahlwayo → Iirandi zekotoni eziphinda zisetyenziswe

11. Izinto zokuhlamba ezibhotileni zeplastiki → Iibhari zesepha eziqinileyo kunye neebhari zeshampu

12. Ukupakisha kwendlu ngeplastiki esasazekileyo →Iphakheji yokupakishwa engenaplastiki ekwimeko yonkeukunciphisa iplastiki yendlu yonke ngexesha elinye

At I-MVIEcoPackZonke izisombululo zethu zokupakisha ezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo zenzelwe indlela yokuphila yanamhlanje. Iingxowa zethu ze-mesh ezingasetyenziswa kwakhona, iingxowa zokutya ezinomgquba kunye neebhokisi zokutya ezinokubola zilungelelanisa ukusebenza kunye nozinzo, nto leyo eyenza ubomi obungenaplastiki bube lula kwaye buqhubekeke kusapho ngalunye.

Amanyathelo Amakhulu Empembelelo Ehlala Ihleli Kwindalo Esingqongileyo

Rukulungele ukwenza ngaphaya kokutshintshana komntu ngamnye imihla ngemihla? Ezi zenzo ziphezulu zinokudala utshintsho olude nolufikelela kude kuluntu nakumashishini:

Indawo yokusebenzela

Yenza kube lula ukuzinza kweofisi ngokususa iipakethe zeplastiki ezisetyenziswa kanye kwiindawo ezisetyenziswa ngabantu bonke. Misela izikhululo zokugcwalisa kwakhona izinto ezininzi kwaye ukhuthaze oogxa bakho ukuba basebenzise izitya zetafile ezinokusetyenziswa kwakhona kunye nezisombululo zokugcina izinto ukuze kuncitshiswe inkunkuma yeplastiki emsebenzini.

Uluntu

Lungiselela okanye uthathe inxaxheba ekucoceni ulwandle, iipaki kunye neendlela ezikufutshane nolwandle, kujoliswe ekupakisheni inkunkuma yeplastiki. Xhasa amashishini asekuhlaleni asebenzisa ukupakisha okunokubunjwa, okungenaplastiki kwaye wabelane ngolwazi olungenankunkuma kuluntu lwakho.

Ukuxhasa uluntu kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo

Landela amaphulo asemthethweni ePlastic Free Foundation. Khuthaza abathengisi basekuhlaleni kunye namashishini okuphekela ukuba bayeke ukupakishwa kweplastiki elahlwayo kwaye basebenzise ezinye iindlela ezizinzileyo ezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo.

Imizamo emincinci iqokelelana ibe lutshintsho olukhulu. Thatha amanyathelo angagqibelelanga kodwa azinzileyo, kwaye ukhetho ngalunye oluzinzileyo luya kukhusela iplanethi yethu ekugqibeleni.

"Ndizame iindlela ezininzi zokutshintsha i-eco kwiPlastic Free July ngaphambili, kodwa uninzi lwazo belungalungele ukusetyenziswa imihla ngemihla. Iimveliso zokupakisha zeMVIEcoPack ziqinile, azinabungozi, kwaye azinabo ubuncwane beplastiki. Zenza ubomi obuzinzileyo bube lula unyaka wonke."

FAQ

1. Ngaba ukupakishwa kweebhagasi kunokuphatha ukutya okushushu nokunamafutha?
Ewe. Izikhongozeli ze-bagasse ezenziwe kakuhle zimelana nobushushu obufikelela kwi-220°C kwaye zimelana neoyile kunye nokufuma — akukho mfuneko yokupakisha okwesibini.

2. Zeziphi iziqinisekiso zokuba ngumgquba ekufuneka ndizijonge?
I-BPI (imakethi yase-US), i-OK Compost INDUSTRIAL (eYurophu), kunye ne-ASTM D6400. Ziphephe izibango ezingasekelwanga kwi-"eco-friendly" — zithwala umngcipheko osemthethweni phantsi kwemithetho ye-FTC.

3. Ngaba i-bagasse ifuna ukugqunywa kwimizi-mveliso?
Kungcono ewe. Kodwa i-bagasse ikwabola emhlabeni kwisithuba seenyanga ezi-3-6 — ngokukhawuleza kakhulu kune-PLA, efuna amaqondo obushushu angama-58°C+ ahlala ixesha elide.

4. Ngowuphi umhla wokugqibela obalulekileyo wokuthobela imithetho eCalifornia?
Umthetho we-SB 54 opheleleyo uqala ngoJanuwari 2027. Umjikelo wakho wokuthenga ka-2026 lithuba lokutshintsha ababoneleli abathobela imithetho.

5. Ingaba i-bagasse ibiza ngaphezu kweplastiki?
Akunjalo ngokuyimfuneko. Ukuthenga ngqo ukusuka efektri kudla ngokubiza ngaphantsi ngama-30–40% kune-pulp ebunjiweyo yendawo — kwaye i-bagasse inciphisa ukukhutshwa kwe-Scope 3 yakho nge-~97%.
