Uhlela ukurisayikilishwa kwakho, uyeke ukuba kuqokelelwe - kwaye emva koko yintoni?Ukusuka kumabhunga atshisa iqashiso ukuya kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma zangaphandle eziphuphuma yinkunkuma yaseBritane, uOliver Franklin-Wallis unika ingxelo malunga nengxaki yenkunkuma yehlabathi.
I-alam iyakhala, ukuvaleka kucinyiwe, kwaye umgca weGreen Recycling eMaldon, Essex, ubuyela ebomini.Kuqengqeleka umlambo omkhulu wenkunkuma: iibhokisi zekhadibhodi, ibhodi egqagqeneyo, iibhotile zeplastiki, iipakethi ezicolekileyo, iiDVD, iikhatriji zokuprinta, inyambalala yamaphephandaba, kuquka neli.Amasuntswana enkunkuma abamba iliso, adibanisa iivignettes ezincinci: iglavu enye elahliweyo.Isikhongozeli seTupperware esityumziweyo, isidlo ngaphakathi singatyiwanga.Ifoto yomntwana ononcumo emagxeni omntu omdala.Kodwa bahambile ngomzuzwana.Umgca weGreen Recycling uphatha ukuya kutsho kwiitoni ezili-12 zenkunkuma ngeyure.
“Sivelisa iitoni ezingama-200 ukuya kuma-300 ngosuku,” utshilo uJamie Smith, umphathi jikelele weGreen Recycling, ngentla kwedin.Sime imigangatho emithathu phezulu kwindlela eluhlaza yezempilo kunye nokhuseleko, sijonge ezantsi emgceni.Kumgangatho othe kratya, umembi ubamba inzipho zenkunkuma kwiimfumba aze azifumbe kwigubu elijikelezayo, elithe lisasazeke ngokulinganayo kwisihambisi sokuhambisa.Ecaleni kwebhanti, abasebenzi bakhetha baze batshayele izinto ezixabisekileyo (iibhotile, iikhadibhodi, iinkonkxa zealuminiyam) ukuze zilungelelanise ii-chutes.
USmith, oneminyaka engama-40 ubudala uthi: “Ezona mveliso zethu ziphambili liphepha, amakhadibhodi, iibhotile zeplastiki, iiplastiki ezixutyiweyo namaplanga.” Sibona iibhokisi zinyuka ngendlela emangalisayo ngenxa yeAmazon.Ekupheleni komgca, umlambo uye waba ngumsinga.Inkunkuma ipakishwe kakuhle kwiibhali, ilungele ukulayishwa kwiilori.Ukusuka apho, kuya kuhamba-ke, kuxa kuba nzima.
Usela i-Coca-Cola, uphose ibhotile kwindawo yokuphinda usetyenziswe, ubeke imigqomo ngomhla wokuqokelela kwaye ulibale ngayo.Kodwa ayipheli.Yonke into onayo ngenye imini iya kuba yipropathi yoku, ishishini lenkunkuma, ishishini lehlabathi le-£250bn elizimisele ukukhupha yonke ipeni yokugqibela yexabiso kwinto eseleyo.Iqala ngezinto zokubuyisela izinto (MRFs) ezifana nale, ezihlela inkunkuma kwiindawo zayo.Ukusuka apho, izixhobo zingena kwinethiwekhi ye-labyrinthine yabarhwebi kunye nabarhwebi.Okunye oko kwenzeka e-UK, kodwa uninzi lwayo - malunga nesiqingatha salo lonke iphepha kunye nekhadibhodi, kunye nesibini kwisithathu seeplastiki - ziya kulayishwa kwiinqanawa zeenqanawa eziza kuthunyelwa eYurophu okanye e-Asia ukuze zihlaziywe.Iphepha kunye nekhadibhodi iya kwiindawo zokusila;iglasi iyahlanjwa kwaye iphinde isetyenziswe okanye iqhekezwe kwaye inyibilike, njengentsimbi kunye neplastiki.Ukutya, nayo nayiphi na enye into, iyatshiswa okanye ithunyelwe kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma.
Okanye, ubuncinci, yindlela ebikade isebenza ngayo.Ke, ngomhla wokuqala wowama-2018, iTshayina, eyona marike inkulu yehlabathi yenkunkuma esetyenzisiweyo, yavala iingcango zayo.Phantsi komgaqo-nkqubo we-Sword weSizwe, i-China yalela iindidi ezingama-24 zenkunkuma ukuba zingangeni kweli lizwe, isithi oko kwakungena kwakungcoliseke kakhulu.Ukutshintsha komgaqo-nkqubo ngokuyinxenye kubangelwe kwimpembelelo yembali, iPlastiki yaseChina, eyahamba intsholongwane phambi kokuba abahloli bayicime kwi-intanethi yaseTshayina.Lo mboniso bhanyabhanya ulandela usapho olusebenza kumzi mveliso welizwe wokurisayikilisha, apho abantu bachola kwiindunduma ezinkulu zenkunkuma yasentshona, ukudilizwa kunye nokunyibilika kweplastiki enokunyibilika kwiipellets ezinokuthengiselwa abavelisi.Ngumsebenzi omdaka, ongcolisayo – kwaye ohlawulwa kakubi.Intsalela isoloko itshiswa kwindawo evulekileyo.Usapho luhlala ecaleni komatshini wokuhlela, intombi yabo eneminyaka eli-11 ubudala idlala noBarbie ephuma enkunkumeni.
Ibhunga lase-Westminster lithumele i-82% yayo yonke inkunkuma yasekhaya - kubandakanywa naleyo ifakwe kwimigqomo yokurisayikilisha - ukuze itshiswe ngo-2017/18.
Kwabahlaziyo abanjengoSmith, iNational Sword yaba sisibetho esikhulu.“Ixabiso lekhadibhodi mhlawumbi lehle ngesiqingatha kwiinyanga ezili-12 ezidlulileyo,” utshilo.“Ixabiso leeplastiki lehlile kangangokuba akusafanelanga ukuba zisetyenziswe ngokutsha.Ukuba iTshayina ayithathi iplastiki, asinakuyithengisa.”Sekunjalo, loo nkunkuma kufuneka iye kwindawo ethile.I-UK, njengezizwe ezininzi eziphuhlileyo, ivelisa inkunkuma eninzi kunaleyo inokuyiqhuba ekhaya: iitoni ezingama-230m ngonyaka – malunga ne-1.1kg ngomntu ngamnye ngosuku.(I-US, elona lizwe liyinkcitho yehlabathi, ivelisa i-2kg ngomntu ngamnye ngosuku.) Ngokukhawuleza, imarike yaqala ukukhukula kulo naliphi na ilizwe eliza kulahla inkunkuma: iThailand, i-Indonesia, iVietnam, amazwe anezinga eliphezulu lehlabathi abaphandi bathi “ukuphatha kakubi inkunkuma” – inkunkuma eshiywe okanye etshiswe kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma evulekileyo, kwiindawo ezingekho mthethweni okanye amaziko anengxelo enganelanga, nto leyo eyenza ukuba isiphelo sayo sibe nzima ukusilandela.
Indawo yokulahla yangoku yiMalaysia.Ngo-Okthobha kulo nyaka uphelileyo, uphando olufunyenwe yiGreenpeace lufumene iintaba zenkunkuma yaseBritani neyaseYurophu kwiindawo zokulahla izinto ezingekho mthethweni apho: iipakethi zeTesco crisp, iibhabhu zeFlora kunye neengxowa zokuphinda zisetyenziswe ezivela kumabhunga amathathu aseLondon.NjengaseTshayina, inkunkuma idla ngokutshiswa okanye iyekwe, ekugqibeleni ifumane indlela eya emilanjeni naselwandle.NgoMeyi, urhulumente waseMalaysia waqala ukubuyisela umva iinqanawa, ekhankanya iinkxalabo zempilo yoluntu.I-Thailand kunye ne-Indiya zibhengeze ukuvalwa kokungeniswa kwenkunkuma yeplastiki yangaphandle.Kodwa inkunkuma isaqhubeka.
Sifuna inkunkuma yethu ifihlwe.I-Green Recycling ikhutshelwe kude ekupheleni kwendawo yoshishino, ijikelezwe ziibhodi zentsimbi ezijikisa isandi.Ngaphandle, umatshini obizwa ngokuba yi-Air Spectrum uvala ivumba le-acrid ngevumba le-cotton bedsheets.Kodwa, ngequbuliso, ishishini liphantsi koqwalaselo oluqatha.E-UK, amaxabiso okuhlaziya amile kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ngelixa i-Sword yeSizwe kunye nokuncitshiswa kwenkxaso-mali kukhokelele ekubeni inkunkuma eninzi itshiswe kwizitshisi kunye nezityalo ezisuka kwinkunkuma.(Ukutshisa, ngelixa kudla ngokugxekwa ngokungcolisa kunye nomthombo ongasebenziyo wamandla, namhlanje kukhethwa kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma, ekhupha i-methane kwaye inokukhupha iikhemikhali eziyityhefu.) Ibhunga lase-Westminster lithumele i-82% yayo yonke inkunkuma yasekhaya - kubandakanywa naleyo ifakwe kwimigqomo yokurisayikilisha ukutshiswa ngo-2017/18.Amanye amabhunga axoxe ngokuyeka ukurisayikilishwa ngokupheleleyo.Kwaye nangona kunjalo i-UK lilizwe eliyimpumelelo lokurisayikilishwa: i-45.7% yayo yonke inkunkuma yasekhaya ihlelwa njengesetyenzisiweyo (nangona elo nani libonisa kuphela ukuba ithunyelwe ukurisayikilishwa, hayi apho iphelela khona.) E-US, elo nani yi-25.8%.
Enye yeenkampani ezinkulu zenkunkuma yase-UK, yazama ukuthumela amanapukeni asele esetyenzisiwe kumazwe aphesheya kwimithwalo ephawulwe njengephepha lenkunkuma.
Ukuba ujonga iiplastiki, umfanekiso umnyama ngakumbi.Kwi-8.3bn yeetoni zeplastiki enyulu eziveliswe kwihlabathi jikelele, yi-9% kuphela esele isetyenzisiwe, ngokutsho kwephepha le-Science Advances ka-2017 elinesihloko esithi Production, Use And Fate Of All Plastics Ever Made.“Ndicinga ukuba olona qikelelo lungcono lwehlabathi mhlawumbi sikwi-20% [ngonyaka] kwihlabathi liphela ngoku,” utsho uRoland Geyer, umbhali wayo ophambili, unjingalwazi wenzululwazi yezendalo kwiYunivesithi yaseCalifornia, eSanta Barbara.Izifundiswa kunye neeNGOs ziyawathandabuza loo manani, ngenxa yesiphelo esingaqinisekanga sokuthunyelwa kwenkunkuma kumazwe angaphandle.NgoJuni, enye yeenkampani ezinkulu zenkunkuma yase-UK, i-Biffa, yafunyanwa inetyala lokuzama ukuthumela amanapkeni asele esebenzile, iitawuli zococeko kunye nempahla phesheya kwimithwalo ephawulwe njengenkunkuma.“Ndicinga ukuba kuninzi ucwangciso-mali oluqhubekayo ukunyusa amanani,” utshilo uGeyer.
“Ngokwenene yintsomi epheleleyo xa abantu besithi sihlaziya iiplastiki zethu,” utsho uJim Puckett, umlawuli olawulayo weSeattle-based Basel Action Network, ekhankasela ngokuchasene norhwebo olungekho mthethweni lwenkunkuma.“Yonke ibivakala ilungile.'Iza kuphinda isetyenziswe eTshayina!'Ndikuthiyile ukuyiqhekeza kuye wonke umntu, kodwa ezi ndawo zihlala zilahla izixa ezikhulu [zezo] zeplastiki kwaye ziyitshisa kwimililo evulekileyo. "
Ukurisayikilishwa kudala njenge-thrift.AmaJapan ayehlaziya iphepha ngenkulungwane ye-11;iingcibi zentsimbi zamaxesha aphakathi zazisenza isikrweqe ngesinyithi esilahliweyo.Ebudeni bemfazwe yehlabathi yesibini, iintsimbi ezilahliweyo zenziwa amatanki zaza iinayiloni zamabhinqa zaba ngamaparashuti.UGeyer uthi: “Ingxaki yaqala xa, ekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-70s, saqala ukuzama ukuphinda sisebenzise inkunkuma yasekhaya.Oku kwakungcoliswe zizo zonke iintlobo ezingathandekiyo: izinto ezingenakuphinda zisetyenziswe, inkunkuma yokutya, i-oyile kunye nolwelo olubolayo kwaye lonakalise iibhali.
Kwangaxeshanye, ishishini lokupakisha lazalisa amakhaya ethu ngeplastiki exabiso likhulu: iibhabhu, iifilim, iibhotile, imifuno esongiweyo yodwa.IPlastiki kulapho ukurisayikilishwa kwakhona kuba nempikiswano enkulu.Ukurisayikilishwa kwealuminiyam, masithi, kuqondile, kunenzuzo kwaye kuvakala ngokusingqongileyo: ukwenza inkonkxa kwi-aluminiyam esetyenzisiweyo kunciphisa i-carbon footprint yayo ukuya kuma-95%.Kodwa ngeplastiki, akukho lula kangako.Ngelixa phantse zonke iiplastiki zinokuphinda zisetyenziswe, ezininzi azikho ngenxa yokuba inkqubo ibiza imali eninzi, intsonkothile kwaye imveliso ephumayo ikumgangatho ophantsi kunoko uyifakayo. Iinzuzo zokunciphisa ikhabhoni nazo azicacanga kangako.“Uyithumela ngokujikeleza, emva koko kufuneka uyihlambe, emva koko kufuneka uyinqumle, emva koko kufuneka uphinde uyinyibilikise, ukuze uqokelelo kunye nokurisayikilishwa kwakhona kunempembelelo yayo kokusingqongileyo,” utshilo uGeyer.
Ukurisayikilishwa kwekhaya kufuna ukuhlenga-hlengiswa ngokomlinganiselo omkhulu.Yiyo loo nto amazwe amaninzi aphuhlileyo enemigqomo enemibala: ukugcina imveliso yokugqibela icocekile kangangoko.E-UK, i-Recycle Now idwelisa iilebhile eziyi-28 ezahlukeneyo zokurisayikilishwa ezinokuvela epakhejini.Kukho i-mobius loop (iintolo ezijijene ezintathu), nto leyo ebonisa ukuba imveliso inokuhlaziywa ngokobuchule;maxa wambi olo simboli luqulathe inani eliphakathi kwesinye nesixhenxe, libonisa intlaka yeplastiki eyenziwa ngayo loo nto.Kukho ichaphaza eliluhlaza (iintolo ezimbini eziluhlaza ziyawola), nto leyo ebonisa ukuba umvelisi ube negalelo kwisikimu saseYurophu sokurisayikilisha.Kukho iilebhile ezithi “I-Widely Recycled” (eyamkelwe yi-75% yamabhunga asekuhlaleni) kunye ne-“Jonga i-Local Recycling” (phakathi kwe-20% kunye ne-75% yamabhunga).
Ukusukela oko i-Sword yeSizwe, ukuhlenga-hlengisa kuye kubaluleke ngakumbi, njengoko iimarike zaphesheya zifuna imathiriyeli ekumgangatho ophezulu.“Abafuni ukuba yindawo yokulahla inkunkuma yehlabathi, ngokufanelekileyo,” utshilo uSmith, njengoko sihamba kumgca weGreen Recycling.Malunga nesiqingatha, abafazi abane abanxibe i-hi-vis kunye neekepusi bakhupha amaqhekeza amakhulu ekhadibhodi kunye neefilim zeplastiki, abasokola ngoomatshini.Kukho isandi esiphantsi emoyeni kunye nothuli olungqindilili kwi-gangway.I-Green Recycling yi-MRF yorhwebo: ithatha inkunkuma kwizikolo, iikholeji kunye namashishini asekuhlaleni.Oko kuthetha ukuba umthamo ophantsi, kodwa imida engcono, njengoko inkampani inokuhlawulisa abathengi ngokuthe ngqo kwaye igcine ulawulo kwinto eyiqokelelayo.“Ishishini limalunga nokujika iindiza zibe yigolide,” utshilo uSmith, ebhekisa kuRumpelstiltskin."Kodwa kunzima-kwaye kuye kwaba nzima kakhulu."
Ngasekupheleni komgca ngumatshini uSmith anethemba lokuba uya kuyitshintsha loo nto.Kunyaka ophelileyo, iGreen Recycling yaba yi-MRF yokuqala e-UK ukutyala imali kuMax, owenziwe e-US, umatshini wokuhlela okrelekrele.Ngaphakathi kwebhokisi enkulu ecacileyo phezu komhambisi, ingalo yokufunxa i-robotic ephawulwe ukuba i-FlexPicker TM iyaziphulela ngapha nangapha phezu kwebhanti, ikhetha ngokungakhathali.“Ukhangela iibhotile zeplastiki kuqala,” utshilo uSmith.“Yena 60 ukhetha ngomzuzu.Abantu baya kukhetha phakathi kwe-20 kunye ne-40, ngosuku oluhle. "Inkqubo yekhamera ichonga inkunkuma eqengqelekayo, ebonisa ucazululo oluneenkcukacha kwiscreen esikufutshane.Umatshini awujongelwanga ukuthatha indawo yabantu, kodwa ukukhulisa.“Uchola iitoni ezintathu zenkunkuma ngosuku ekungenjalo abafana bethu abangabantu bekuya kufuneka bahambe,” utshilo uSmith.Ngapha koko, irobhothi yenze umsebenzi omtsha womntu ukuwugcina: oku kwenziwa nguDanielle, lowo abasebenzi bambiza ngokuba “umama kaMax”.Izibonelelo ze-automation, uSmith uthi, zimbini: izinto ezininzi zokuthengisa kunye nenkunkuma encinci ekufuneka inkampani ihlawule ukuba itshise emva koko.Imida ibhityile kwaye irhafu yokulahla inkunkuma yi-£91 ngetoni.
USmith akayedwa ekubekeni ukholo lwakhe kwitekhnoloji.Xa abathengi kunye norhulumente becatshukiswa yingxaki yeplastiki, ishishini lenkunkuma liyazama ukusombulula le ngxaki.Ithemba elinye elikhulu kukurisayikilisha kweekhemikhali: ukuguqula iiplastiki eziyingxaki zibe yioyile okanye igesi ngeenkqubo zemizi-mveliso.UAdrian Griffiths, umseki weSwindon-based Recycling Technologies uthi: “Ihlaziya uhlobo lweeplastiki ezingenakujongwa kwakhona ngoomatshini: iingxowa, iingxowa, iiplastiki ezimnyama.Umbono wafumana indlela eya kuGriffiths, owayengumcebisi wolawulo, ngengozi, emva kwempazamo kwiYunivesithi yaseWarwick.“Bathe bayakwazi ukuguqula nayiphi na iplastiki endala ibe yimonomer.Ngelo xesha, babengakwazi,” utsho uGriffiths.Enomdla, uGriffiths wanxibelelana naye.Wagqiba ukusebenzisana nabaphandi ukusungula inkampani enokwenza oku.
Kwiziko elilingayo le-Recycling Technologies 'e-Swindon, iplastiki (uGriffiths uthi inokusebenza naluphi na uhlobo) yondliwa kwigumbi eliphakamileyo lokuqhekeka intsimbi, apho yahlulwe ngamaqondo obushushu aphezulu kakhulu ukuba ibe yirhasi kunye ne-oyile, iplaxx, enokusetyenziswa njengendawo yokucoca. amafutha okanye isitokhwe seplastiki entsha.Ngelixa umoya wehlabathi ujike ngokuchasene neplastiki, uGriffiths ungumkhuseli onqabileyo wayo."Ukupakishwa kwePlastiki kwenze inkonzo emangalisayo kwihlabathi, kuba kunciphise inani leglasi, isinyithi kunye nephepha ebesilisebenzisa," utshilo.“Eyona nto indikhathazayo ngaphezu kwengxaki yeplastiki kukufudumala kwehlabathi.Ukuba usebenzisa iglasi eninzi, isinyithi esingaphezulu, ezo zixhobo zinendawo ephezulu yekhabhoni. ”Inkampani isandula ukuqalisa iskimu sovavanyo kunye neTesco kwaye sele isebenza kwiziko lesibini, eScotland.Ekugqibeleni, uGriffiths unethemba lokuthengisa oomatshini kwiindawo zokurisayikilisha kwihlabathi jikelele.“Kufuneka siyeke ukuthumela ngenqanawa ukurisayikilisha phesheya,” utshilo.“Alukho uluntu oluphucukileyo olufanele ukulahla inkunkuma kwilizwe elisaphuhlayo.”
Kukho isizathu sokuba nethemba: ngoDisemba 2018, urhulumente wase-UK wapapasha isicwangciso esitsha senkunkuma esibanzi, ngokuyinxenye ekuphenduleni i-National Sword.Phakathi kweziphakamiso zayo: irhafu kwipakethe yeplastiki equlethe ngaphantsi kwe-30% yezinto ezihlaziyiweyo;inkqubo yokuleyibhela eyenziwe lula;kwaye kuthetha ukunyanzela iinkampani ukuba zithathe uxanduva lokupakishwa kweplastiki ezizivelisayo.Banethemba lokunyanzela ishishini ukuba lityale imali kwiziseko ezingundoqo zokurisayikilisha ekhaya.
Okwangoku, ishishini linyanzeliswa ukuba lilungelelanise: ngoMeyi, amazwe angama-186 adlulisa amanyathelo okulandelela kunye nokulawula ukuthunyelwa kwenkunkuma yeplastiki kumazwe asakhasayo, ngelixa iinkampani ezingaphezu kwe-350 zisayine ukuzibophelela kwehlabathi ekupheliseni ukusetyenziswa kweeplastiki ezisetyenziselwa enye into. 2025.
Ukanti leyo yinkunkuma yenkunkuma yoluntu kangangokuba ezi nzame zisenokunganeli.Amazinga okurisayikilisha entshona ayama kwaye ukusetyenziswa kokupakisha kusetelwe ukunyuka kumazwe asaphuhlayo, apho amazinga okurisayikilisha aphantsi.Ukuba i-National Sword isibonise nantoni na, kukuba ukurisayikilishwa kwakhona - ngelixa kuyimfuneko - akwanelanga ukusombulula ingxaki yethu yenkunkuma.
Mhlawumbi kukho enye indlela.Ukusukela ekubeni iBlue Planet II izise ingxaki yeplastiki kwingqwalasela yethu, urhwebo olufayo luqala kwakhona eBritane: umthengisi wobisi.Uninzi lwethu lukhetha ukuhanjiswa kweebhotile zobisi, ziqokelelwe kwaye ziphinde zisetyenziswe.Iimodeli ezifanayo ziyakhula: iivenkile zenkunkuma ezifuna ukuba uze nezikhongozeli zakho;i-boom kwiikomityi eziphinda zizaliseke kunye neebhotile.Kufana nokungathi sikhumbule ukuba isilogeni sakudala sendalo esingqongileyo esithi “Nciphisa, sebenzisa kwakhona, phinda usetyenziswe kwakhona” asikhange sibe nomtsalane nje kuphela, kodwa zidweliswe ngokolandelelwano olukhethwayo.
UTom Szaky ufuna ukusebenzisa imodeli yobisi phantse kuyo yonke into oyithengayo.I-Hungarian-Canadian eneendevu, eneenwele ezichetyiweyo ligqala kushishino lwenkunkuma: waseka isiqalo sakhe sokuqala sokuhlaziya kwakhona njengomfundi ePrinceton, ethengisa isichumiso esenziwe ziimpethu kwiibhotile eziphinde zasetyenziswa.Le nkampani, iTerraCycle, ngoku isisigebenga sokurisayikilisha, sisebenza kumazwe angama-21.Ngo-2017, i-TerraCycle yasebenza kunye neNtloko kunye namagxa kwibhotile ye-shampoo eyenziwe kwiiplastiki zolwandle ezihlaziyiweyo.Imveliso yasungulwa kwiForam yoQoqosho lweHlabathi eDavos kwaye yaba yinto ebetha kwangoko.I-Proctor & Gamble, eyenza iNtloko kunye namagxa, yayinomdla wokwazi ukuba yintoni elandelayo, ngoko uSzaky wamisa into ebaluleke kakhulu.
Isiphumo yiLoop, esungule iimvavanyo eFrance nase-US kule ntwasahlobo kwaye iza kufika eBritane kobu busika.Ibonelela ngeendidi ngeendidi zeemveliso zasekhaya - ezivela kubavelisi abaquka iP&G, i-Unilever, iNestlé kunye neCoca-Cola - kwipakethe ephinda isetyenziswe.Izinto zifumaneka kwi-intanethi okanye kubathengisi abakhethekileyo.Abathengi bahlawula idiphozithi encinci, kwaye izitya ezisetyenzisiweyo ekugqibeleni ziqokelelwa yi-courier okanye zilahliwe evenkileni (i-Walgreens e-US, i-Tesco e-UK), ihlanjwe, kwaye ibuyiselwe kumvelisi ukuba iphinde ifakwe.“I-Loop ayiyonkampani yemveliso;yinkampani elawula inkunkuma,” utshilo uSzaky."Sijonge inkunkuma ngaphambi kokuba iqale."
Uninzi lwezoyilo zeLoop ziqhelekile: iibhotile zeglasi ezinokuzaliswa kwakhona zeCoca-Cola kunye neTropicana;iibhotile ze-aluminiyam zePantene.Kodwa ezinye ziqwalaselwa ngokupheleleyo.“Ngokusuka kwizinto ezilahlwayo uye kusetyenziso kwakhona, uvula amathuba oyilo oluyi-epic,” utshilo uSzaky.Umzekelo: I-Unilever isebenza kwiipilisi zentlama yamazinyo ezinyibilika zibe yintlama phantsi kwamanzi abalekayo;I-ice-cream yaseHäagen-Dazs ingena kwibhafu yentsimbi engatyiwayo ehlala ibanda ngokwaneleyo ukuze ikwazi ukwenza ipiknikhi.Nokuba ukuhanjiswa kuza kwingxowa eyenzelwe ngokukodwa i-insulated, ukusika kwikhadibhodi.
UTina Hill, umkhupheli osekwe eParis, watyikitya kwiLoop kamsinya nje emva kokusungulwa kwayo eFransi.“Kulula kakhulu,” utshilo.“Yidipozithi encinci, €3 [isikhongozeli ngasinye].Into endiyithandayo ngayo kukuba banezinto esele ndizisebenzisa: ioli yomnquma, iipoddi zokuhlamba.”U-Hill uzichaza “njengendawo entle eluhlaza: siphinda sisebenzise nantoni na enokuphinda isetyenziswe, sithenga izinto eziphilayo”.Ngokudibanisa iLoop kunye nokuthenga kwiivenkile zasekhaya zenkunkuma eyi-zero, u-Hills uncede usapho lwakhe ukuba lunciphise ukuthembela kwalo ekupakishweni okukodwa.“Ekuphela kwento embi kukuba amaxabiso anganyuka kancinci.Asikhathali ngokuchitha imali encinci ukuxhasa izinto okholelwa kuzo, kodwa kwezinye izinto, njengepasta, zithintelo. ”
Inzuzo enkulu kwimodeli yeshishini likaLoop, uSzaky uthi, inyanzelisa abaqulunqi bokupakisha ukuba babeke phambili ukuqina ngaphezu kokulahlwa.Kwixesha elizayo, uSzaky ulindele ukuba iLoop iya kukwazi ukuthumela i-imeyile izilumkiso zabasebenzisi bemihla yokuphelelwa kunye nezinye iingcebiso zokunciphisa inkunkuma yabo.Imodeli ye-milkman ingaphezulu nje kwebhotile: isenza ukuba sicinge ngento esiyidlayo kunye nento esiyilahlayo.“Inkunkuma yinto esiyifunayo ngaphandle kwamehlo nengqondo – imdaka, imbi, iyanuka,” utsho uSzaky.
Yiloo nto ekufuneka iguqulwe.Kuyahenda ukubona iplastiki ifunjwe kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma yaseMalaysia kwaye ucinga ukuba ukurisayikilishwa kwakhona yinkcitho yexesha, kodwa ayonyani leyo.E-UK, ukurisayikilishwa kwakhona libali lempumelelo, kwaye ezinye iindlela - ukutshisa inkunkuma yethu okanye ukuyingcwaba - zimbi.Endaweni yokuyeka ukurisayikilisha, uSzaky uthi, kufuneka sonke sisebenzise kancinane, siphinde sisebenzise oko sinako kwaye siphathe inkunkuma yethu njengoko imboniselo yenkunkuma iyibona: njengomthombo.Hayi ukuphela kwento, kodwa ukuqala kwenye into.
“Asiyibizi inkcitho;siyibiza ngokuba yimpahla,” utshilo uSmith kaGreen Recycling, emva eMaldon.Emazantsi eyadini, ilori yokuthuthwa ilayishwa ngeebhali ezingama-35 zekhadibhodi ehleliweyo.Ukusuka apha, uSmith uya kuyithumela kwindawo yokusila e-Kent ukuze ivulwe.Iya kuba ziibhokisi zekhadibhodi ezintsha phakathi kweeveki ezimbini – kunye nenkunkuma yomnye umntu kungekudala emva koko.
