UFrancesca Benson ngumhleli kunye nombhali wabasebenzi onesidanga se-master in biochemistry kwiYunivesithi yaseBirmingham.
INgilani imiselwe ukuthintela ukusetyenziswa kweplasitiki yokusika enye kunye nezikhongozeli zokutya ezine-polystyrene enye emva kweentshukumo ezifanayo zaseScotland naseWales ngo-2022, okwenze ukuba kube lulwaphulo-mthetho ukubonelela ngezinto ezinjalo.Kuqikelelwa ukuba i-2.5 yeebhiliyoni zeekomityi zekofu ezisetyenziswa kanye ezisetyenziswayo ngoku e-UK minyaka le, kwaye kwi-4.25 yebhiliyoni ye-4.25 yeebhiliyoni ezisetyenziselwa enye kunye ne-1.1 yeebhiliyoni zeepleyiti ezisetyenziswa kanye ngonyaka, iNgilani iphinda isetyenziswe i-10%.
Amanyathelo aya kusebenza kumashishini anjengendawo yokuthatha kunye neendawo zokutyela, kodwa hayi kwiivenkile ezinkulu kunye neevenkile.Oku kulandela udliwano-ndlebe noluntu oluqhutywe liSebe lezokusiNgqongileyo, uKutya kunye neMicimbi yaseMaphandleni (DEFRA) ukusuka ngoNovemba ka-2021 ukuya kuFebruwari 2022. I-DEFRA kuxelwe ukuba iyakuqinisekisa inyathelo nge-14 kaJanuwari.
I-polystyrene eyandisiweyo kunye ne-extruded (EPS) i-akhawunti malunga ne-80% ye-UK yokutya kunye ne-market container yesiselo kwiphepha elikhutshwe ngokubambisana no-Novemba ka-2021 ukubonisana.Olu xwebhu lubonisa ukuba ezo bhokisi “aziboli okanye zinokonakala, ngoko zinokuqokelelana kwindawo engqongileyo.Izinto ze-Styrofoam zibuthathaka ngakumbi kwindalo yazo, oko kuthetha ukuba xa izinto zithe saa, zidla ngokuqhekeka zibe ngamaqhekeza amancinci.zisasazeka kwimeko-bume. ”
“Izinto zokunqunqa zeplastiki ezilahlwayo ngokuqhelekileyo zenziwe ngepolymer ebizwa ngokuba yipolypropylene;iipleyiti zeplastiki ezilahlwayo zenziwe nge-polypropylene okanye i-polystyrene, "olunye uxwebhu olunxulumene nokubonisana luyachaza.“Ezinye izinto ezizezinye ziwohloka ngokukhawuleza – ukugawula iinkuni kuqikelelwa ukuba kwehla kwiminyaka emi-2, ngelixa ixesha lokubola kwephepha lihluka ukusuka kwiiveki ezi-6 ukuya kwezingama-60.Iimveliso ezenziwe ngezinto ezizezinye nazo zingaphantsi kwekhabhoni enzima ukuvelisa.Phantsi (233 kgCO2e) [kg CO2 elingana] ngetoni nganye yomthi kunye nephepha kunye ne-354 kg CO2e ngetoni nganye yezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo kwinkqubo yokwenziwa, xa kuthelekiswa ne-1,875 kg CO2e kunye ne-2,306 "yokutshiswa kweplastiki".
Izinto ezilahlwayo “zidla ngokulahlwa njengenkunkuma eqhelekileyo endaweni yokuba ziphinde zisetyenziswe ngenxa yemfuneko yokuhlelwa nokucoca.amathuba amancinci okurisayikilishwa.
"Uvavanyo lwempembelelo luqwalasele iinketho ezimbini: ukhetho "lokungenzi nto" kunye nokukhetha ukuvala iipleyiti zeplastiki ezisetyenziselwa enye kunye ne-cutlery ngo-Epreli ka-2023," utsho uxwebhu.Nangona kunjalo, la manyathelo aya kuqaliswa ngo-Oktobha.
Umphathiswa wezendalo uTeresa Coffey uthe: "Sithathe amanyathelo abalulekileyo kule minyaka idlulileyo, kodwa siyazi ukuba kusekuninzi ekufuneka kwenziwe kwaye siphinda simamele uluntu," utshilo uMphathiswa wezeNdalo uTeresa Coffey, ngokutsho kweBBC.iplastiki kunye nokunceda ukugcina okusingqongileyo kwizizukulwana ezizayo.“
