I-European Union ithathe isinyathelo esibalulekile ekulweni nodoti wepulasitiki ngokugunyaza ukuthi zonke izigqoko zamabhodlela epulasitiki zihlale zinamathele emabhodleleni, kusukela ngoJulayi 2024. Njengengxenye yoMyalelo obanzi we-Single-Use Plastics Directive, lo mthetho omusha udala ukusabela okuhlukahlukene. kuyo yonke imboni yeziphuzo, kukho kokubili ukudumisa nokugxeka. Umbuzo usamile ukuthi ingabe izivalo zamabhodlela eziboshiwe zizoqhubekisela phambili ngempela inqubekelaphambili yezemvelo noma zizobonakala ziyinkinga kakhulu kunokuzuzisa.
Yiziphi izinhlinzeko ezibalulekile zomthetho mayelana namakepisi aboshiwe?
Umthetho omusha we-EU udinga ukuthi zonke izigqoko zamabhodlela epulasitiki zihlale zinamathele emabhodleleni ngemva kokuvulwa. Lolu shintsho olubonakala luncane lunamandla okuba nemithelela ebalulekile. Inhloso yalo myalelo ukunciphisa udoti nokuqinisekisa ukuthi izigqoko zepulasitiki ziyaqoqwa futhi zigaywe kabusha kanye namabhodlela azo. Ngokudinga ukuthi amakepisi ahlale enamathele emabhodleleni, i-EU ihlose ukuwavimbela ekubeni abe yizicucu ezihlukene zemfucumfucu, okungase kube yingozi kakhulu ekuphileni kwasolwandle.
Lo mthetho uyingxenye ye-EU's Wine-Use Plastics Directive ebanzi, eyethulwe ngo-2019 ngenhloso yokubhekana nenkinga yokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki. Izinyathelo ezengeziwe ezifakwe kulo myalelo ukuvinjelwa kwezinto zokusika zepulasitiki, amapuleti, notshani, kanye nezidingo zamabhodlela epulasitiki ukuthi aqukathe okungenani u-25% wokuqukethwe osekusetshenziswe kabusha ngo-2025 kanye no-30% ngo-2030.
Izinkampani ezinkulu, ezifana ne-Coca-Cola, seziqalile ukulungisa izimo ezidingekayo ukuze zihambisane nemithetho emisha. Onyakeni odlule, i-Coca-Cola ikhiphe ama-caps ahlanganisiwe kulo lonke elaseYurophu, iwakhuthaza njengesixazululo esisha sokuqinisekisa ukuthi "akukho umkhawulo osalayo" kanye nokukhuthaza imikhuba engcono yokuvuselela kabusha phakathi kwabathengi.
Impendulo Nezinselelo Zomkhakha Weziphuzo
Umthethonqubo omusha awuzange ube ngaphandle kwengxabano. Ngenkathi i-EU iqala ukumemezela lo myalelo ngo-2018, imboni yeziphuzo yazwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngezindleko ezingaba khona nezinselele ezihlobene nokuthobela imithetho. Ukudizayina kabusha imigqa yokukhiqiza ukuze ifake amakepisi aboshiwe kumelela umthwalo omkhulu wezezimali, ikakhulukazi kubakhiqizi abancane.
Ezinye izinkampani zizwakalise ukukhathazeka ngokuthi ukwethulwa kwamakepisi aboshiwe kungaholela ekwenyukeni okuphelele kokusetshenziswa kwepulasitiki, uma kubhekwa izinto ezengeziwe ezidingekayo ukuze kugcinwe i-cap. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunokucatshangelwa kokuphathekayo, njengokubuyekeza okokusebenza kwamabhodlela kanye nezinqubo ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nemiklamo ye-cap entsha.
Ngaphandle kwalezi zinselelo, izinkampani eziningi zilwamukela ngokuqhubekayo lolu shintsho. I-Coca-Cola, isibonelo, itshale imali kubuchwepheshe obusha futhi yahlela kabusha izinqubo zayo zokufaka amabhodlela ukuze ihambisane nomthetho omusha. Ezinye izinkampani zihlola izinto zokwakha nemiklamo ehlukene ukuze zihlonze izixazululo ezisimeme kakhulu nezingabizi kakhulu.
Ukuhlola Umthelela Wendawo Ezungezile Nomphakathi
Izinzuzo zemvelo zamakepisi aboshiwe zibonakala embonweni. Ngokugcina amakepisi enamathiselwe emabhodleleni, i-EU ihlose ukunciphisa udoti wepulasitiki futhi iqinisekise ukuthi amakepisi asetshenziswa kabusha kanye namabhodlela awo. Noma kunjalo, umthelela ongokoqobo walolu shintsho usazonqunywa.
Impendulo yabathengi kuze kube manje ixubile. Nakuba abanye abagqugquzeli bezemvelo bezwakalise ukuweseka umklamo omusha, abanye bazwakalise ukukhathazeka ngokuthi ungase udale ukuphazamiseka. Abathengi bazwakalise ukukhathazeka ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ngobunzima bokuthela iziphuzo nekepisi elizishaya ebusweni ngesikhathi bephuza. Abanye baze baphakamise ukuthi umklamo omusha uyisixazululo ekufuneni inkinga, bephawula ukuthi ama-caps ayengavamile ukuba ingxenye ebalulekile yemfucumfucu kwasekuqaleni.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kusenokungaqiniseki ngokuthi izinzuzo zemvelo zizoba nkulu ngokwanele yini ukuze kuthethelelwe ushintsho. Abanye ochwepheshe bemboni bakholelwa ukuthi ukugcizelela kokepisi ababoshiwe kungase kuphazamise izenzo ezinomthelela omkhulu, njengokuthuthukisa ingqalasizinda yokugaya kabusha nokwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezigaywe kabusha ekupakishweni.
Umbono wesikhathi esizayo wezinhlelo ze-EU zokuvuselela kabusha
Umthetho we-cap eboshiwe umele ingxenye eyodwa yesu elibanzi le-EU lokubhekana nodoti wepulasitiki. I-EU izibekele imigomo yokugaywa kabusha kanye nokunciphisa imfucuza esikhathini esizayo. Ngo-2025, inhloso wukuba kube nohlelo olukhona lokugaywa kabusha kwawo wonke amabhodlela epulasitiki.
Lezi zinyathelo zenzelwe ukusiza ukuguqukela emnothweni oyindilinga, lapho imikhiqizo, izinto zokwakha, nezisetshenziswa ziphinde zisetshenziswe, zilungiswe, futhi zigaywe kabusha lapho kungenzeka khona. Umthetho we-cap eboshiwe umele isinyathelo sokuqala kule ndlela, esinamandla okuvula indlela yezinhlelo ezifanayo kwezinye izifunda emhlabeni jikelele.
Isinqumo se-EU sokugunyaza izivalo zamabhodlela eziboshiwe zimele umnyakazo wesibindi ekulweni nodoti wepulasitiki. Nakuba lo mthetho usuvele ubangele izinguquko eziphawulekayo embonini yeziphuzo, umthelela wawo wesikhathi eside usalokhu ungaqiniseki. Ngokombono wemvelo, imele isinyathelo esisha sokwehlisa udoti wepulasitiki kanye nokukhuthaza ukugaywa kabusha. Ngokombono ongokoqobo, umthethonqubo omusha uletha izinselele kubakhiqizi nakubathengi ngokufanayo.
Impumelelo yomthetho omusha izoncika ekutholeni ukulingana okufanele phakathi kwezinhloso zemvelo kanye namaqiniso okuziphatha kwabathengi namandla ezimboni. Akukacaci ukuthi lo mthetho uzothathwa njengesinyathelo sokuguqula noma ugxekwe njengesinyathelo esilula ngokweqile.
