Ukupakishwa kokutya okungenasimahla kwe-PFAS: Imephu yakho yokuthobela imithetho ka-2026

NKudala, i-PFAS yayiyindlela engabonakaliyo yokupakisha ukutya. Iimpawu zazixhomekeke kwezi zixhobo zekhemikhali ezifihlakeleyo ukuze zongeze ukumelana negrisi, imiqobo engangeni manzi, kunye nokuqina kwesakhiwo kwizikhongozeli zokuthatha ukutya, ii-burger wrappers, kunye neebhokisi zepizza ngaphandle kokucinga kabini.Ngowama-2026, loo mgangatho awusekho.Ngaphambi kokuba isuswe njengengxaki yexesha elide yokusingqongileyo, i-PFAS - eyaziwa ngokubanzi ngokuba "ziikhemikhali ezingapheliyo" - ngoku ivaliwe ngokukhutheleyo, ilawulwa ngokungqongqo, kwaye inyanzeliswa ngamandla kwiimarike zehlabathi. Oku akuseyonto yokuzinza ngokuzithandela. Yimfuneko yokuthobela umthethoyonke imveliso yokutya ethengisa igrisi, ioyile, okanye iimveliso ezipakishwe ngendlela echukumisa umswakama.

Umthetho obalulekileyo we-EU wokuPakisha nokuPakisha iNkunkuma (i-PPWR) ufika nge-12 ka-Agasti 2026. Imiqathango emininzi yokuvalwa kwempahla e-US yaqala ukusebenza nge-1 kaJanuwari 2026. Imiqathango emitsha yokupakisha ye-PFAS yaseKhanada yaqaliswa nge-30 kaJuni 2026. Imiqathango yokuvalwa kwempahla e-US iyaqhubeka ngokukhawuleza, kunye ne-UK, i-Australia, ne-China ziqalisa imithetho efanayo ekupheleni konyaka.Iindaba ezilungileyo kwiimveliso zokutya? Ukuthobela imithetho akudingi uhlengahlengiso olubizayo okanye utshintsho olunobungozi ngomzuzu wokugqibela. Ukuba sele usebenzisaukupakishwa kwefayibha esekwe kwizityalo— kuquka i-bagasse, ingca yengqolowa, kunye ne-bamboo — ngokuqinisekileyo uyavumelana nemigangatho yokupakisha engenazo i-PFAS ka-2026. Ezi zixhobo zendalo zibonelela ngokumelana nokufuma okuthembekileyo ngaphandle kokufakwa kwekhemikhali enye ene-fluorine.Kule sikhokelo sipheleleyo sokuthobela imithetho sika-2026, siza kuchaza kakuhle ukuba yintoni kanye kanye le yanamhlanjeImigaqo ye-PFASkuthetha iimveliso zokutya neziselo, gxininisa imihla yokugqibela yehlabathi engenakuphikiswana ngayo, kwaye wabelane ngamanyathelo asebenzayo okuvala ukuthobela ngokupheleleyo ngaphandle kwePFAS namhlanje.

Zithini i-PFAS, kwaye kutheni zikhona kwiPakethe yokutya?

I-PFAS (izinto ze-per- kunye ne-polyfluoroalkyl) zintsapho enkulu yeekhemikhali zokwenziwa ezichazwa ziibhondi zemolekyuli ze-carbon-fluorine ezinamandla kakhulu. Olu lwakhiwo lukhethekileyo luzenza zihlale ixesha elide kakhulu - ziqine kangangokuba ziyakwazi ukumelana nokuqhekeka kwendalo okanye emzimbeni womntu, nto leyo ezenzela igama lesiteketiso elithi "ikhemikhali engunaphakade".Kangangamashumi eminyaka, ishishini lokupakisha ukutya belixhomekeke kwiPFAS ngesizathu esinye esiphambili:ukumelana negrisi.Iphepha nebhodi yephepha engagqunywanga eqhelekileyo inemingxuma.Ngaphandle konyango lweekhemikhali, ioyile eshushu, igrisi, kunye nokufuma zingena ngokukhawuleza kwiingubo zokusonga, iibhokisi zepizza, kunye nezikhongozeli zefayibha ezibunjiweyo, zonakalisa ukupakisha kwaye zidale amava abathengi angcolileyo. Iingubo zePFAS zasombulula le ngxaki ngokugqibeleleyo - de iindleko zempilo kunye nokusingqongileyo zexesha elide zaba nzima ukuzityeshela.Iikhemikhali zePFAS rhoqozisuka ekupakishweni ziye ekutyeni ngexesha lokugcina, ukuthuthwa, kunye nokufudunyezwa. Ukuvezwa rhoqo kunxulunyaniswa neengozi ezinkulu zempilo, kubandakanya ukuphazamiseka kwamahomoni, ukusebenza okubuthathaka komzimba, kunye nemingcipheko ephezulu yomhlaza. Ezi khemikhali ziqokelelana ngokusisigxina emhlabeni namanzi angaphantsi komhlaba, zibangela ungcoliseko lokusingqongileyo oluvela kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana.Ingcaciso ebalulekileyo kwiimpawu zanamhlanje?Iingubo zePFAS azisafuneki. Ukupakisha iifayibha zezityalo eziphambili kufikelela kwinqanaba lorhwebo lokumelana negrisi kunye nokufuma ngokusebenzisa ubunjineli bendalo bolwakhiwo, akukho mfuneko yeekhemikhali ezenziwe nge-fluorine.

Ixesha lokugqibela lokuPakisha iPFAS lika-2026 Kufuneka lilandelwe yiLonke uphawu lokutya

Unyaka ka-2026 ngunyaka apho imithetho ye-PFAS yehlabathi itshintsha ukusuka “ecetywayo” ukuya “ekusetyenzisweni ngokupheleleyo.” Akukho maxesha okukhululwa, akukho mathuba okuphelelwa yimpahla, kwaye akukho mahluko kwiingcoliseko zomkhondo ezinganyanzelekanga. Apha ngezantsi kukho imihla yokugqibela enzima elawula ukuthotyelwa kokupakishwa kokutya kwihlabathi liphela kulo nyaka.
