Washington, DC - Ingxelo ekhutshwe namhlanje yiGreenpeace USA ibonisa indlela iinkampani ezithengisa izinto zabathengi ezifana neCoca-Cola, PepsiCo kunye neNestlé eziqhuba ukwanda kwemveliso yeplastiki, isongela zombini imozulu yehlabathi kunye noluntu kwihlabathi jikelele. Ingxelo, Unxunguphalo lwemozulu alupakishwanga: Iinkampani zempahla yabathengi zilufaka njani amafutha eplastiki yeOyile enkulu, ibhentsisa amaqhina oshishino phakathi kwamashishini amakhulu ehlabathi kunye neenkampani zamafutha efosili kunye nokusilela ngokubanzi kokungafihli izinto ezikhutshwayo kwipakethe yeplastiki.
"Ezi mpawu ziziwayo ziqhuba ingxaki yongcoliseko lweplastiki zinceda ekuqhubeni ingxaki yemozulu," utshilo uGraham Forbes, iNkokeli yeProjekthi yePlastiki yeGlobal eGreenpeace. "Ngaphandle kweenzame zazo zokubonakala zivumelana nemozulu, iinkampani ezifana neCoca-Cola, iPepsiCo kunye neNestlé zisebenzisana nomzi-mveliso wefosili ukuze zandise imveliso yeplastiki, nto leyo enokutyhalela ihlabathi kumanqanaba akhutshwa yintlekele kunye neplanethi enobushushu obunganyamezelekiyo."
Nangona isixokelelwano sobonelelo ngeeplastiki ubukhulu becala bungabonakali, ingxelo ichonge ubudlelwane phakathi kweenkampani ezilithoba eziphambili zeempahla zabathengi ezivavanyiweyo kunye nobuncinci bepetroli enye enkulu kunye/okanye inkampani yepetrochemical. Ngokwengxelo, iCoca-Cola, iPepsiCo, iNestlé, iMondelēz, iDanone, i-Unilever, iColgate Palmolive, iProcter & Gamble kunye neMars zithenga ukupakishwa kubavelisi ababonelelwa ngentlaka yeplastiki okanye i-petrochemicals kwiinkampani ezaziwayo ezifana ne-ExxonMobil, iShell, iChevron Phillips. , Ineos kunye neDow. Ngaphandle kokungafihli kobu budlelwane, iinkampani zempahla yabathengi zinokuluphepha ubukhulu becala uxanduva lokunyhashwa kwemekobume okanye amalungelo oluntu okwenziwa ziinkampani ezibonelela ngeplastiki yokupakishwa kwazo.
Ingxelo ithi iinkampani zempahla yabathengi ziye zasebenzisana neenkampani zamafutha efosili amashumi eminyaka ukuya khuthaza ukwenziwa kwakhona kweplastiki nangona kukho iziphene. Icacisa ukuba la mashishini asebenze kunye ukuchasana nemithetho enokuthi ithintele ukupakishwa kwendlela enye kwaye ixhase oko kubizwa ngokuba ziiprojekthi "zekhemikhali okanye zokurisayikilisha eziphucukileyo". Ingxelo iphinda iphawule ukuba i-fossil fuel kunye namashishini emveliso yabathengi bahlala besebenza kunye namaqela angaphambili axhasa ezi zisombululo zobuxoki, kuquka i-Alliance to End Plastic Waste, i-Recycling Partnership kunye ne-American Chemistry Council.
"Kucacile ukuba iinkampani ezininzi zeempahla zabathengi zifuna ukufihla ubudlelwane babo obupholileyo kunye neenkampani zamafutha kunye ne-petrochemical, kodwa le ngxelo ibonisa indlela abasebenza ngayo kwiinjongo ekwabelwana ngazo ezingcolisa iplanethi kwaye zenzakalise uluntu kwihlabathi jikelele," utshilo uForbes. "Ukuba ezi nkampani ziyikhathalele ngenene indalo esingqongileyo, beziya kuphelisa olu manyano kwaye zimke kwiiplastiki ezisetyenziswa kanye kwangoko."
Ngaphandle kwenyathelo elingxamisekileyo, imveliso yeplastiki inokuphinda kathathu ngo-2050, ngokutsho koqikelelo lweshishini. Ngokufanelekileyo Uqikelelo oluvela kwiZiko loMthetho wokuSingqongileyo waMazwe ngaMazwe (CIEL), oku kukhula kuqikelelwayo kuya konyusa ukukhutshwa komjikelo wezinto zeplastiki kwihlabathi ngaphezulu kwe-2030% ngo-50 ukusuka kumanqanaba owama-2019, okulingana phantse namaziko ombane angama-300 okubaselwa ngamalahle. Eli lixesha elifanayo apho i Iphaneli yoRhulumente kuTshintsho lweMozulu ilumkisile Izinto ezikhutshwayo ezibangwa ngabantu kufuneka zehle phantse ngama-50% ukucutha ubushushu bube yi-1,5. IGreenpeace ihlaba ikhwelo kwiinkampani zempahla yabathengi ukuba zitshintshe ngokukhawuleza ziphinde zisebenzise iinkqubo kunye neemveliso ezingapakishwanga. Iinkampani kufuneka zikhuphe zonke iiplastiki ezisetyenziselwa enye kwaye zicace ngakumbi malunga neplastiki yazo, kubandakanya nemozulu yokupakishwa kwazo. Iinkampani ziyacelwa ukuba zixhase isivumelwano esinamabhongo seplastiki yehlabathi esijongana nawo wonke umjikelo wobomi beplastiki kwaye sigxininisa ukuncitshiswa.
ISIPHELO
Ngokuphawula:
In Ibali lakutshanje elisasazwa yiChannel 4 News e-UK, i-lobbyist ye-Exxon irekhodwa iphawula ukuba "yonke inkalo yeplastiki lishishini elikhulu" kwaye iphawula ukuba "iya kukhula." I-lobbyist ikwabiza iiplastiki "ikamva" ngexesha apho uluntu kwihlabathi liphela lusilwa nongcoliseko lweplastiki olusetyenziswa kanye kwaye lufuna ukuncitshiswa kosetyenziso lwazo. Uqhube wathi iqhinga lelokuba “awukwazi ukuvala iplastiki kuba nantsi isizathu” kwaye uthelekisa oku namaqhinga asetyenziswa ukujongela phantsi amanyathelo okutshintsha kwemozulu.
