Kwi-2018, zizonke iitoni ezizigidi ezingama-61,8 zeplastiki zazisetyenziswa eYurophu. Oko kuphuma kwenye Ingxelo ye-EEA ye-Arhente yokusiNgqongileyo ukuvela. Ngo-2020 eli nani liza kuphakama kakhulu.
Lo bhubhane ubangele ukunyuka ngequbuliso kwiimfuno zehlabathi zezixhobo zokuzikhusela ezifana neemaski, iiglavu, iilokhwe kunye nempahla yokuthambisa izandla. (…) UMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi uqikelela ukuba zizigidi iimaski zonyango ezingama-89 ezazifuneka kwihlabathi liphela ngenyanga, kunye nezigidi ezingama-76
Iiglavu zoviwo kunye neeseti eziyi-1,6 yezigidi zeebhokhwe ezikhuselayo ”, ababhali bengxelo bashwankathela amanani e-WHO. Uluhlu olwandisiweyo lokususa iivenkile zokutyela, uninzi lwazo lunikwa i-tableware enokulahlwa, kunye nokonyuka kwee-odolo ezikwi-Intanethi, zombini ezithi zibangelwe kukutshixeka, ziya kuthi kwakhona zinobunzima kwi-plastiki eseleyo ngo-2020.
Ngokwengxelo ye-EEA, umndilili wokusetyenziswa kweplastiki ngama-45 kg ngomntu ngonyaka. Abantu baseNtshona Yurophu basebenzise phantse amaxesha amathathu - malunga ne-136 kg ngomntu ngamnye, ngokwengxelo, icaphula umthombo wePlastics Insight, 2016.
Ngokwengxelo, iindlela ezintathu zokuphuma ehlathini zeplastikhi kufuneka zikhokele kwikamva: ukusetyenziswa ngobulumko kweeplastikhi, ukukhuthaza uqoqosho lwesetyhula kunye nokusetyenziswa kwezinto zokwenza izinto ezihlaziyekayo.
