Makampani opangira matumba apulasitiki pa Jan. 30 adavumbulutsa kudzipereka mwakufuna kwawo kulimbikitsa zinthu zobwezerezedwanso m'matumba ogulira malonda mpaka 20 peresenti pofika 2025 monga gawo la ntchito yokhazikika.

Pansi pa pulaniyi, gulu lalikulu lazamalonda ku US likudzipanganso kukhala American Recyclable Plastic Bag Alliance ndipo likulimbikitsa maphunziro a ogula ndikukhazikitsa chandamale choti 95 peresenti ya matumba ogula apulasitiki agwiritsidwenso ntchito kapena kusinthidwa pofika 2025.

Kampeniyi ikubwera pomwe opanga matumba apulasitiki akumana ndi zovuta zandale - kuchuluka kwa mayiko omwe ali ndi ziletso kapena zoletsa matumba omwe adayikidwa chaka chatha kuchokera pawiri mu Januware mpaka eyiti chaka chatha.

Akuluakulu azachuma ati pulogalamu yawo sikuyankha mwachindunji kuletsa boma, koma amavomereza mafunso a anthu omwe akuwalimbikitsa kuti achite zambiri.

"Izi zakhala zokambirana kudzera mumakampani kwanthawi yayitali kuti tikhazikitse zolinga zomwe zidasinthidwanso," adatero Matt Seaholm, wamkulu wa ARPBA, yemwe kale ankadziwika kuti American Progressive Bag Alliance, adatero."Izi ndi zomwe tikuyika patsogolo.Mukudziwa, nthawi zambiri anthu amafunsa kuti, 'Chabwino, kodi anyamata mukuchita chiyani ngati bizinesi?'

Kudzipereka kochokera ku ARPBA ku Washington kumaphatikizapo kuwonjezeka kwapang'onopang'ono kuyambira pa 10 peresenti yokonzedwanso mu 2021 ndikukwera mpaka 15 peresenti mu 2023. Seaholm akuganiza kuti makampaniwa adutsa zolingazo.

"Ndikuganiza kuti ndi bwino kuganiza, makamaka ndi khama mosalekeza kwa ogulitsa kupempha okhutira zobwezerezedwanso kukhala mbali ya matumba, ine ndikuganiza ife mwina kumenya manambala," Seaholm anati."Takhala ndi zokambirana kale ndi ogulitsa omwe ali ngati chonchi, omwe amakonda kwambiri lingaliro lolimbikitsa zomwe zidasinthidwanso m'matumba awo ngati gawo lodzipereka pakukhazikika."

Zomwe zidasinthidwanso ndizofanana ndendende ndi zomwe zidayitanidwa chilimwe chatha ndi gulu la Recycle More Bags, mgwirizano wa maboma, makampani ndi magulu azachilengedwe.

Gululi, komabe, linkafuna magawo omwe maboma adalamula, ponena kuti kudzipereka mwaufulu ndi "chomwe sichingachitike pakusintha kwenikweni."

 

Seaholm adati opanga matumba apulasitiki amatsutsana ndi zomwe zidalembedwa m'malamulo, koma adawonetsa kusinthasintha ngati boma likufuna kukonzanso zinthu.

"Ngati boma likuganiza kuti akufuna 10 peresenti zobwezerezedwanso zili kapena 20 peresenti zobwezerezedwanso okhutira, izo sizikhala chinachake ife kumenyana," Seaholm anati, "koma sichikhala chinachake ife mwachangu kulimbikitsa kaya.

"Ngati dziko likufuna kutero, ndife okondwa kukambirana ... chifukwa limachita zomwezo zomwe tikunena pano, ndipo zimalimbikitsa kugwiritsa ntchito kumapeto kwa zomwe zasinthidwanso.Ndipo ndicho gawo lalikulu la kudzipereka kwathu, kukweza misika yomaliza, "adatero.

20 peresenti yobwezeretsanso zomwe zili m'matumba apulasitiki ndizomwe zimalimbikitsidwanso pakuletsa thumba lachitsanzo kapena malamulo a chindapusa ndi gulu lazachilengedwe la Surfrider Foundation muzolemba zomwe zidapangidwira omenyera ufulu, atero a Jennie Romer, wothandizana nawo zamalamulo pamaziko a Plastic Pollution Initiative.

Surfrider, komabe, ikufuna kulamula utomoni wa ogula m'matumba, monga California idachitira mulamulo lake la pulasitiki la 2016 lomwe limakhazikitsa 20 peresenti yazinthu zobwezerezedwanso m'matumba apulasitiki ololedwa pansi pa malamulo ake, Romer adatero.Izi zidakwera mpaka 40 peresenti zomwe zidasinthidwanso chaka chino ku California.

Seaholm adati dongosolo la ARPBA silimatchulira kugwiritsa ntchito pulasitiki ya ogula, ponena kuti pulasitiki yamafakitale ndi yabwino.Ndipo si kwenikweni mwachindunji thumba-to-thumba yobwezeretsanso pulogalamu - zobwezerezedwanso utomoni akhoza kubwera kuchokera filimu ina ngati mphasa Tambasula Manga, iye anati.

"Sitikuwona kusiyana kwakukulu kaya mukutenga pambuyo pa ogula kapena pambuyo pa mafakitale.Mulimonse mukusunga zinthu m'nthaka," adatero Seaholm."Ndicho chofunikira kwambiri."

Anati zomwe zidasinthidwanso m'matumba apulasitiki ndizochepera 10 peresenti.

Seaholm adati kuti akwaniritse zofunikira 20 peresenti zobwezerezedwanso, ndizotheka kuti chiwongola dzanja cha US chobwezeretsanso matumba apulasitiki chikwera.

Ziwerengero za US Environmental Protection Agency zikuti 12.7 peresenti ya matumba apulasitiki, matumba ndi zokutira zidasinthidwanso mu 2016, ziwerengero za chaka chatha zilipo.

"Kuti tifike pachiwerengero chomaliza, kuti tifike ku 20 peresenti yosinthidwanso m'dziko lonselo, inde, tifunika kuchita ntchito yabwinoko pamapulogalamu obwezeretsanso sitolo, ndipo pamapeto pake, ngati njira yotsekera ibwera pa intaneti," adatero."Mulimonsemo, [tiyenera] kusonkhanitsa filimu ya pulasitiki ya polyethylene kuti tiyibwezerenso."

Pali zovuta, komabe.Lipoti la Julayi lochokera ku American Chemistry Council, mwachitsanzo, lidawona kutsika kwakukulu kopitilira 20 peresenti pakubwezeretsanso filimu yapulasitiki mu 2017, pomwe China idakulitsa ziletso zochotsa zinyalala.

Seaholm adati makampani a thumba sakufuna kuti mtengo wobwezeretsanso ugwe, koma adavomereza kuti ndizovuta chifukwa kubwezeretsanso thumba kumadalira kwambiri ogula kutenga matumba kuti asunge malo osiya.Mapulogalamu ambiri obwezeretsanso m'mphepete mwa m'mphepete mwa nyanja salola matumba chifukwa amatchinjiriza makina pazosankha, ngakhale pali mapulogalamu oyesa kuthana ndi vutoli.

Pulogalamu ya ARPBA imaphatikizapo maphunziro a ogula, kuyesetsa kuonjezera mapulogalamu obweza m'masitolo ndi kudzipereka kugwira ntchito ndi ogulitsa kuti mukhale ndi chinenero chomveka bwino kwa ogula mozungulira momwe matumba ayenera kubwezeretsedwanso.

Seaholm adati akuda nkhawa kuti kuchuluka kwa zikwama zoletsedwa m'maboma ngati New York kungapweteke kukonzanso ngati masitolo asiya kupereka malo otsika, ndipo adatchula lamulo latsopano ku Vermont lomwe likuyamba chaka chino.

"Ku Vermont, mwachitsanzo, ndi zomwe malamulo awo amachita, sindikudziwa ngati masitolo apitilizabe kukhala ndi mapulogalamu obwezeretsa," adatero."Nthawi iliyonse mukaletsa chinthu, mumachotsa mtsinjewo kuti ubwezerenso."

Komabe, adawonetsa chidaliro kuti makampaniwo akwaniritsa zomwe adalonjeza.

“Tipanga kudzipereka;tipeza njira yochitira," adatero Seaholm."Tikuganizabe, poganiza kuti theka la dzikolo silinasankhe mwadzidzidzi kuletsa matumba apulasitiki monga Vermont adachitira, titha kugunda manambalawa."

Dongosolo la ARPBA limakhazikitsanso chandamale choti 95 peresenti ya matumba azigwiritsidwanso ntchito pofika chaka cha 2025. Akuti 90 peresenti ya matumba apulasitiki pakali pano amasinthidwa kapena kugwiritsidwanso ntchito.

Kuwerengera kumeneku kumatengera manambala awiri: EPA ya 12-13 peresenti yobwezeretsanso matumba, komanso kuyerekeza ndi akuluakulu aku Quebec kuti 77-78 peresenti ya matumba ogula apulasitiki amagwiritsidwanso ntchito, nthawi zambiri ngati zonyamulira zinyalala.

Kuchokera ku 90 peresenti ya matumba tsopano kufika pa 95 peresenti kungakhale kovuta, Seaholm adatero.

"Ichi ndi cholinga chomwe sichikhala chosavuta kufikira chifukwa chimatengera kugula kwa ogula," adatero.“Maphunziro adzakhala ofunika.Tikuyenera kupitiliza kukankha kuti anthu amvetsetse kubweza zikwama zawo m'sitolo. "

Akuluakulu amakampani amawona dongosolo lawo ngati kudzipereka kwakukulu.Wapampando wa ARPBA, Gary Alstott, yemwenso ndi wamkulu pakupanga matumba a Novolex, adati makampaniwa adayika ndalama zambiri pomanga maziko obwezeretsanso matumba apulasitiki.

"Mamembala athu tsopano amabwezeretsanso mazana mamiliyoni a mapaundi a matumba ndi mafilimu apulasitiki chaka chilichonse, ndipo aliyense wa ife akuyesetsa kulimbikitsa kugwiritsa ntchito thumba mokhazikika," adatero m'mawu ake.
