Tkafukufuku waposachedwa kuchokera kuBungwe Loteteza Zachilengedwe (NRDC)Mfundo yaikulu ndi yakuti: tinthu tating'onoting'ono ta pulasitiki tadutsa chotchinga chilichonse pakati pa chilengedwe ndi matupi a anthu, kulowa pafupifupi mbali iliyonse ya moyo watsiku ndi tsiku. Tinthu tating'onoting'onoti—tomwe tili tochepa kuposa mamilimita 5—timapezeka m'ziwalo zamkati mwa anthu monga magazi ndi ubongo, komanso m'nthaka, m'nyanja, ndi mumlengalenga womwe timapuma. Zambiri zimachokera ku kuwonongeka kapena kutayika kwa ma phukusi ogwiritsidwa ntchito kamodzi, nsalu, ndi zinthu zogwiritsidwa ntchito tsiku ndi tsiku, zomwe zimawononga chilengedwe chapadziko lonse lapansi ndikubisa zoopsa zazikulu paumoyo wa anthu zomwe tikuyamba kuzimvetsa.

Kusintha kwa Padziko Lonse:

Kufunika kwa Mapaketi Osawononga Chilengedwe Kuwonjezeka

AKusintha kwa kachitidwe ka ogula kukuchititsa kuti pakhale kufunikira kwakukulu kwa ma CD okhazikika. Kafukufuku wapadziko lonse wa Nielsen wa 2025 adapeza kuti 73% ya ogula ali okonzeka kulipira 15-20% ya zinthu zomwe zakulungidwa ndi zinthu zosawononga chilengedwe—ndipo misika ya ku Europe ndi North America ndi yomwe ikutsogolera izi. Makolo, okonda zaumoyo, a Millennials, ndi Gen Z tsopano akuika patsogolo "zopanda pulasitiki, zobwezerezedwanso, kapena zophikidwa" ngati zinthu zopangidwira kapena zosweka posankha mitundu. Kufunika kwake kumakhala kwakukulu makamaka pa chakudya ndi zakumwa, chisamaliro chaumwini, ndi zinthu za ana, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti pakhale malo abwino oti zinthu zipite patsogolo.

Kulimbitsa malamulo apadziko lonse kwasintha ma CD osungira zachilengedwe kuchoka pa "zabwino kukhala nazo" kukhala chinthu chofunikira kwambiri. Lamulo la EU la Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) likufuna kuti ma CD onse omwe akulowa m'misika ya ku Europe azitha kugwiritsidwanso ntchito kapena kubwezeretsedwanso pofika chaka cha 2030, pomwe akuletsa mapulasitiki ogwiritsidwa ntchito kamodzi kokha monga udzu ndi mipeni. Ku California, USA, malamulo a Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) amakakamiza makampani kuti aziyang'anira zinyalala zosungiramo zinthu m'moyo wawo wonse, zomwe zikukakamiza ogulitsa kuti afulumizitse kusintha kwa njira zina zobiriwira.

Kodi Mungatani Kuti Muthane ndi Microplastics?

Mayankho Atatu Okhazikika Okhudza Kupaka Mapaketi

ANgakhale kuti msika ukukwera komanso malamulo akuchulukirachulukira, gawo la ma CD likufunika njira zothandiza komanso zokhazikika zothanirana ndi kuipitsa kwa microplastic mwachindunji ndikupereka phindu lofunika:

1. Zipangizo Zobwezerezedwanso ndi Zobwezerezedwanso: Dulani Ma Microplastics Pachitsime

Kugwiritsa ntchito mapulasitiki obwezerezedwanso (PCR) omwe amagulitsidwa pambuyo pa ogula, ulusi wochokera ku zomera (monga nzimbe, nsungwi, ndi chimanga), ndi mapepala oteteza chilengedwe kumachepetsa kwambiri kudalira pulasitiki yopanda kanthu—imodzi mwa magwero apamwamba a mapulasitiki ang'onoang'ono ochokera ku kupanga ndi kuwonongeka. Kafukufuku wa 2024 wa Sustainable Packaging Coalition akuwonetsa kuti mabotolo apulasitiki a PCR achepetsa kutayikira kwa mapulasitiki ang'onoang'ono ndi 40% poyerekeza ndi mabotolo apulasitiki achikhalidwe opanda kanthu. Makampani monga Patagonia ndi Unilever atsogola kale posintha mizere ina yazinthu kukhala ma CD a 100%, kukhazikitsa muyezo wamakampani ndikuwonjezera kufunikira kosalekeza kwa zinthu zobwezerezedwanso.

2. Kupaka Manyowa: Njira Yabwino Kwambiri Yothetsera Mavuto Ovuta Kubwezeretsanso

Zinthu zotha kupangidwa ndi manyowa monga polylactic acid(PLA)), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), izima CD apulasitiki obwezerezedwansoZimasweka bwino m'malo achilengedwe kapena mafakitale popanga manyowa popanda kutulutsa mapulasitiki ang'onoang'ono. Ndi abwino kwambiri pogwiritsira ntchito zinthu zovuta kubwezeretsanso monga zidebe za chakudya, zilembo zotumizira zipatso zatsopano, ndi mbale zodyera zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kamodzi kokha. Ku Europe, ogulitsa akuluakulu monga Carrefour ndi Tesco akhazikitsa malamulo okhwima: ogulitsa ayenera kugwiritsa ntchito ma CD opangidwa ndi manyowa pazinthu zatsopano. Gawo la ndondomekoyi limatsegula njira yowonekera bwino yofufuzira, kupanga, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito zinthu zopangidwa ndi manyowa.

3. Machitidwe Ogwiritsira Ntchito Ma Packaging: Pangani Chizunguliro Chachuma Chozungulira

Ma model ozungulira opangidwa ndi "kusonkhanitsa ndi kuyeretsa" amachotsa zinyalala zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kamodzi kokha, zomwe zimapereka njira yothetsera kuipitsa kwa pulasitiki.MVI EcopackAmagwirizana ndi ogulitsa padziko lonse lapansi kuti apereke ma phukusi ogwiritsidwanso ntchito pa chakudya ndi zofunikira za tsiku ndi tsiku, komanso kupanga njira zothetsera mavuto zomwe zimagwirizana ndi zosowa zinazake. Njira imeneyi sikuti imangochepetsa kuwononga ndalama komanso ikugwirizana ndi kukakamiza kwapadziko lonse lapansi kuti pakhale chuma chozungulira.

Kupitilira Kupaka:

Yendetsani pa Eco-Wave kuti Mupite Patsogolo Mosatha

TKusintha kwa chilengedwe padziko lonse lapansi komwe kwayambitsidwa ndi kuipitsidwa kwa pulasitiki kakang'ono kukukonzanso makampani opanga ma CD. Pokhapokha poika patsogolo kukhazikika, kutsatira malamulo, komanso kuyang'ana kwambiri zosowa zamsika - komanso kukulitsa ndalama mu mayankho okhazikika - ndipamene tingagwiritse ntchito mwayi pakusinthaku ndikusintha vuto la chilengedwe padziko lonse kukhala chothandizira kukula kwabwino mu gawo la ma CD.

Njira 10 Zochepetsera Kuwonekera kwa Microplastic

(Kuchokera mu Chidule cha “Microplastic Tsunami” cha NRDC)

Based paNRDCmwachidule chaposachedwa, “Tsunami ya Microplastic,Nazi njira zothandiza zomwe ogula angachite kuti achepetse kufalikira kwa microplastic kwa iwo ndi mabanja awo:

Sankhani madzi a pampopi m'malo mwa madzi a m'botolo.
Musatenthetse chakudya m'zidebe zapulasitiki mu microwave.
Onaninso bwino ziwiya zapulasitiki za kukhitchini zomwe zili m'nyumba mwanu.
Sankhani ulusi wachilengedwe wa makapeti, mipando, ndi zovala.
Kodi mumakonda tiyi? Pewani matumba a tiyi apulasitiki nthawi iliyonse yomwe zingatheke.
Bweretsani chikho chanu chomwe chingagwiritsidwenso ntchito (siyani njira zopangira zinthu zopangidwa ndi bioplastic).
Pewani mabotolo apulasitiki a ana.
Unikaninso zophikira zanu zosamamatira (zambiri zimakhala ndi mapulasitiki obisika).
Samalani ndi mapulasitiki obisika omwe amapezeka mu zinthu zotsukira msambo monga ma pad ndi ma tampons.
Pewani zinthu zosamalira thupi zomwe zili ndi pulasitiki yaying'ono mwadala.

Kusintha pang'ono kumawonjezera. Mwa kusintha zizolowezi za tsiku ndi tsiku ndikuthandizira ma phukusi okhazikika, tonse titha kutenga nawo mbali pochepetsa vuto la microplastic.
