Ilizwe liceba ukuvala ukusetyenziswa kweeplastikhi zodwa-iibhegi zokuphuma, iindiza, izinti, imisesane yeepakethe ezintandathu, izixhobo zokusika kunye ne-foodware eyenziwe ngeplastikhi ekunzima ukuyisebenzisa kwakhona-kwilizwe liphela ukuphela kuka-2021.

Ukuhamba kuyinxalenye yomzamo omkhulu wesizwe wokufezekisa inkunkuma yeplastiki enguziro ngo-2030.

“Ungcoliseko lweplastiki lusongela indalo yethu. Igcwalisa imilambo okanye amachibi ethu, kwaye ikakhulu iilwandlekazi zethu, ziminxa izilwanyana zasendle ezihlala apho, ”utshilo uMphathiswa Wezendalo wase Canada uJonathan Wilkinson inkomfa yeendaba. "Abantu baseKhanada bayalibona igalelo longcoliseko olusuka elunxwemeni lusiya kunxweme."

Esi sicwangciso sikwabandakanya ukuphuculwa ukugcina "iplastiki kuqoqosho lwethu nangaphandle kwendalo yethu," utshilo.

Ukusetyenziswa kweeplastiki kusetyenziswa uninzi lwenkunkuma yeplastiki efumaneka kwindawo ezinamanzi acocekileyo eCanada, ngokwe urhulumente.

Inkulumbuso u-Justin Trudeau uvakalise okokuqala isicwangciso selizwe sokuvala ezi ntlobo zeplastikhi kulo nyaka uphelileyo, esithi "yingxaki esingenakukwazi ukuyityeshela," ngokuka ukukhululwa kweendaba.

Ukongeza, iiplastikhi zokusebenzisa into enye zineempawu ezintathu eziphambili ezenza ukuba kujolise ekuvinjelweni, ngokukaWilkinson.

"Ziyingozi kwindalo esingqongileyo, zinzima okanye zibiza imali eninzi ukuze zisetyenziswe kwakhona kwaye zikhona ezinye iindlela ezinokufumaneka ngokulula," utshilo.

Ngokwaseburhulumenteni, abantu baseKhanada balahla ngaphezulu kune 3 yezigidi zeetoni yenkunkuma yeplastiki minyaka le - kwaye yi-9% kuphela yeplastiki erisayikilishekiswayo.

"Okuseleyo kuya kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma okanye kwindawo esihlala kuyo," utshilo uWilkinson.

Nangona le migaqo mitsha ingasebenzi de kube ngu-2021, urhulumente waseCanada ukhupha iphepha lengxoxo echaza isibhengezo seplastikhi esicetywayo kunye nokucela ingxelo yoluntu.
