Kwilinge lokuzama ukusika inkunkuma yeplastiki, uninzi lokusela kunye neendawo zokutya ezikhawulezayo sele ziqale ukusebenzisa imisele yephepha. Kodwa izazinzulu ziye zalumkisa ukuba ezi ezinye iindlela zephepha zihlala zineekhemikhali ezingenatyhefu kwaye zisenokungabi ngcono kakhulu kwindalo esingqongileyo kuneplastiki.
Imigudu yePhephazijongwa kakhulu kuluntu lwanamhlanje apho ulwazi lokuqonda imeko luyanda. Ikhuthazekile njengenye yendlela enobuhlobo, ezizinzileyo neye-biodegrades, ibango yokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki yeplastiki kwaye ibe nefuthe elincinci kwindalo esingqongileyo. Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka siqonde ukuba imizi yephepha ikwanazo neempembelelo ezimbi kwaye isenokungabi kukhetho olungcono lomntu wonke kunye nokusingqongileyo.
Okokuqala, amaphepha ephepha afune izixhobo ezininzi zokwenza. Nangona iphepha lizixhobo ezizinzileyo kuneeplastiki, ukuveliswa kwayo kuseyifuna inani elikhulu lamanzi namandla. Ibango lokuveliswa kokuveliswa kwamaphepha amaphepha kunokukhokelela ekugangeni ukuhlaselwa kwamahlathi, ukuqhubela phambili ukucaphuka komthombo wehlathi kunye nomonakalo wendalo. Kwangelo xesha, ukwenziwa kwamaphepha amaphepha kuya kukhupha isixa esithile segesi eluhlaza yegesi eluhlaza njengekharbon diokside, eya kuba negalelo kuphuculo lwemozulu yehlabathi.
Okwesibini, nangona amaphepha amaphepha ebanga ukubai-biodegraded, oku akunakuba njalo. Kwindawo yokwenyani yehlabathi, amaphepha emitya yephepha kunzima ukuyicekisa kuba bahlala benxibelelana nokutya okanye ulwelo, kubangela ukuba amaqhinga abe ngumqhekeza. Le ndawo uphosakeleyo inciphisa ukubola kwamaphepha amaphepha kwaye ibenze banciphise amandla okuqhekeza ngokwemvelo. Ukongeza, imisele yephepha inokuthathwa njengenkunkuma ye-organic kwaye ilahlwe ngempazamo kwinkunkuma enokuphinda isebenze, ibangela ukudideka kwinkqubo yokuphinda isebenze. Kwangelo xesha, amava okusebenzisa amaphepha amaphepha ayilunganga njengemiphala yeplastiki. Imingxunya yephepha inokuthambile okanye iphazamiseke, ngakumbi xa isetyenziswa ngeziselo ezibandayo. Oku akuchaphazeli ukuphumelela okusebenzayo kokusetyenziswa kwenkunkuma, kodwa kunokubangela ukungasebenzi kwabanye abantu abafuna uncedo olukhethekileyo (njengabantwana, abantu abakhubazekileyo okanye abakhubazekileyo). Oku kunokubangela ukuba amabhanti ephepha afuna ukutshintshwa rhoqo, ukhulisa inkunkuma kunye nokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo.
Ukongeza, amaphepha ephepha ngokubanzi axabisa ngaphezulu kweeplanga zeplastiki. Kwabanye abathengi abazixabisileyo, amaphepha ephepha abanokuba ngumthwalo owutofotofo okanye umthwalo ongezelelweyo. Oku kunokukhokelela abathengi ukuba bakhethe iipreyip zeplastiki kwaye ungazihoyi izibonelelo ezinobume bephepha lendalo. Nangona kunjalo, amaphepha ephepha awakho ngokupheleleyo ngaphandle kwezibonelelo. Umzekelo, kwiisetingi zokusebenzisa enye, ezinje ngeendawo zokutya ezingxamisekileyo okanye iziganeko, amaphepha ephepha anokubonelela ngendlela ekhuselekileyo necocekileyo, ukunciphisa umngcipheko wezempilo onokubangelwa ngabaninzi beplastiki.
Ukongeza, xa kuthelekiswa nemitya yeplasti yemveli, imigudu yephepha kunokusinciphisa isizukulwana seplastiki kwaye sinempembelelo entle ekuphuculeni imeko yaselwandle kunye nezinye iindawo ezijamelene nemiceli mngeni yaselwandle. Xa usenza izigqibo, kufuneka silinganise ngokupheleleyo intembelo kwaye sisebenzise iingxaki sephepha. Ukujonga ukuba amaphepha ephepha aneziphumo ezimbi, kufuneka sifumane izisombululo ezipheleleyo. Umzekelo, imingxunya enokuphinda isebenze okanye imingxunya eyenziwe ngezinye izinto ezidanisiweyo zinokusetyenziswa, zombini zinobuhlobo ne-ECO-ERD kunye nezinzileyo kwaye zihlangabezane neenjongo zokhuseleko lwendalo.
Ngesishwankathelo, amaphepha emibuzo anikezelai-eco-friend, azinzileyokunye nenye indlela enokusetyenzwa kwe-biodegraday yokuphaza kweplastiki. Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka sazi ukuba amaphepha ephepha asebenzise izixhobo ezininzi ngexesha lenkqubo yokwenziwa, kwaye azikhathazi ngokukhawuleza. Ke ngoko, xa ukhetha ukusebenzisa iinto zephepha, kufuneka siqwalasele ngokupheleleyo izibonelelo zaso kunye nezinto ezingalunganga kwaye sijongane ezinye iindlela zokuphucula imeko engqongileyo.
