Ngakhale makampani okongola kwambiri adzipereka kuthana ndi zinyalala zonyamula katundu, kupita patsogolo sikukuyenda pang'onopang'ono ndi kukongola kwa zidutswa za 151bn zomwe zimapangidwa chaka chilichonse. Ichi ndi chifukwa chake nkhaniyi ndi yovuta kwambiri kuposa momwe mungaganizire, ndi momwe tingathetsere vutoli.

Kodi mumapaka zingati mu kabati yanu ya bafa? Mwina mochuluka kwambiri, poganizira zodzaza zidutswa za 151bn - zambiri zomwe ndi pulasitiki - zimapangidwa ndi makampani okongola chaka chilichonse, malinga ndi katswiri wofufuza za msika Euromonitor. Tsoka ilo, zambiri mwazopakazo zimakhala zovuta kuzikonzanso, kapena sizingakonzedwenso palimodzi.

"Kukongola kochuluka sikunapangidwe kuti kupitirire kukonzanso," Sara Wingstrand, woyang'anira mapulogalamu a Ellen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy initiative, akuuza Vogue. "Kupaka kwina kumapangidwa kuchokera kuzinthu zomwe zilibe mtsinje wobwezeretsanso, ndiye kuti zimangopita kumalo otayirako."

Mitundu yayikulu yokongola tsopano yadzipereka kuthana ndi vuto la mapulasitiki am'makampani.

L'Oréal yalonjeza kuti ipanga 100 peresenti ya paketi yake kuti igwiritsidwenso ntchito pofika chaka cha 2030. Unilever, Coty ndi Beiersdorf alonjeza kuonetsetsa kuti mapulasitiki apulasitiki ndi opangidwanso, ogwiritsidwanso ntchito, opangidwanso, kapena opangidwanso ndi 2025. Pakali pano, Estée has adadzipereka kuwonetsetsa kuti pafupifupi 75 peresenti ya zotengera zake ndi zobwezerezedwanso, zowonjezeredwa, zitha kugwiritsidwanso ntchito, zobwezeretsedwanso kapena kubwezanso pakutha kwa 2025.

Komabe, kupita patsogolo kukuyendabe pang'onopang'ono, makamaka popeza matani 8.3bn a pulasitiki opangidwa ndi petroleum apangidwa onse mpaka pano - 60 peresenti yomwe imathera kutayira kapena chilengedwe. "Ngati titakwezadi chikhumbo chofuna kuthetsa, kugwiritsanso ntchito ndi kubwezeretsanso [zazovala zokongoletsa], titha kupita patsogolo ndikuwongolera tsogolo lomwe tikupita," akutero Wingstrand.

Zovuta zobwezeretsanso
Pakali pano, 14 peresenti yokha ya mapulasitiki onse amasonkhanitsidwa kuti abwezeretsedwenso padziko lonse lapansi - ndipo 5 peresenti yokha ya zinthuzo ndi zomwe zimagwiritsidwanso ntchito, chifukwa cha kutayika panthawi yokonza ndi kubwezeretsanso. Kupaka kukongola nthawi zambiri kumabwera ndi zovuta zina. "Kupaka zambiri ndi kusakaniza kwa mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zinthu zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zikhale zovuta kukonzanso," Wingstrand akufotokoza, ndi mapampu - omwe nthawi zambiri amapangidwa ndi mapulasitiki osakaniza ndi kasupe wa aluminiyumu - kukhala chitsanzo chabwino. "Zopaka zina ndizochepa kwambiri kuti zinthuzo zichotsedwe pokonzanso."

Mkulu wa bungwe la REN Clean Skincare Arnaud Meysselle akuti palibe njira yosavuta yothetsera makampani okongola, makamaka popeza malo obwezeretsanso amasiyana padziko lonse lapansi. "Tsoka ilo, ngakhale mutakhala kuti mutha kubwezeretsedwanso, chabwino muli ndi mwayi wokwana 50% kuti mugwiritsenso ntchito," akutero kudzera mu foni ya Zoom ku London. Ichi ndichifukwa chake mtunduwo wasiya kutsindika pakubwezeretsanso kugwiritsa ntchito pulasitiki yobwezerezedwanso pakuyika kwake, "chifukwa simukupanga pulasitiki watsopano."

Komabe, REN Clean Skincare yakhala mtundu woyamba kukongola kugwiritsa ntchito ukadaulo watsopano wa Infinity Recycling kwa ngwazi yake, Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti zotengerazo zitha kubwezeretsedwanso mobwerezabwereza pogwiritsa ntchito kutentha ndi kukakamiza. "Ndi pulasitiki, yomwe 95 peresenti yagwiritsidwanso ntchito, yomwe ili ndi zizindikiro zofanana ndi pulasitiki yatsopano," akufotokoza Meysselle. "Ndipo pamwamba pa izo, zitha kubwezeretsedwanso kosatha." Pakadali pano, mapulasitiki ambiri amatha kubwezeretsedwanso kamodzi kapena kawiri.

Zachidziwikire, matekinoloje monga Infinity Recycling amadalirabe pakuyika kwake kuti apezeke pamalo oyenera kuti abwezeretsedwenso. Makampani monga a Kiehl atenga zotolera m'manja mwawo pogwiritsa ntchito njira zobwezeretsanso m'sitolo. "Tikuthokoza makasitomala athu, takonzanso zinthu zopitilira 11.2m padziko lonse lapansi kuyambira 2009, ndipo tadzipereka kukonzanso 11m pofika 2025," atero Purezidenti wapadziko lonse wa Kiehl Leonardo Chavez, kudzera pa imelo yochokera ku New York.

Kusintha kosavuta kwa moyo, monga kukhala ndi bin yobwezeretsanso m'bafa yanu, kungathandizenso. "Nthawi zambiri anthu amakhala ndi bin imodzi m'chipinda chosambira amaikamo chilichonse," akutero Meysselle. "Kuyesa [kupangitsa anthu] kukonzanso m'chipinda chosambira ndikofunikira kwa ife."

Poganizira zovuta zobwezeretsanso, ndikofunikira kuti zisawoneke ngati njira yokhayo yothetsera vuto la zinyalala lamakampani okongoletsa. Izi zimagwiranso ntchito pazinthu zina monga galasi ndi aluminiyamu, komanso pulasitiki. "Sitiyenera kumangodalira kukonzanso njira yathu yotulukamo," akutero Wingstrand.

Ngakhale mapulasitiki opangidwa ndi bio, opangidwa kuchokera ku zokonda za nzimbe ndi chimanga, sizosavuta kukonza, ngakhale nthawi zambiri amafotokozedwa kuti ndi biodegradable. “'Zowonongeka Zamoyo' zilibe tanthauzo lokhazikika; zimangotanthauza kuti pakapita nthawi, m'mikhalidwe ina, zotengera zanu [zidzawonongeka]," akutero Wingstrand. "'Compostable' imatchula momwe zinthu zilili, koma mapulasitiki opangidwa ndi kompositi sangawonongeke m'malo onse, kotero amatha kukhalapo kwa nthawi yayitali. Tiyenera kuganizira dongosolo lonse. "

Zonsezi zikutanthauza kuti kuthetsa kulongedza ngati kuli kotheka - zomwe zimachepetsa kufunika kobwezeretsanso ndi kupanga kompositi poyambirira - ndi gawo lofunikira kwambiri pazithunzi. “Kungochotsa pulasitiki yokulunga m’bokosi la zonunkhiritsa ndi chitsanzo chabwino; Ndivuto lomwe simupanga mukachotsa, "akufotokoza Wingstrand.

Kugwiritsanso ntchito kulongedzanso ndi njira ina, yokhala ndi zowonjezeredwa - komwe mumasunga zopangira zakunja, ndikugula zomwe zimalowa mkati mwake mukatha - zomwe zimatchulidwa kwambiri ngati tsogolo lazokongoletsa. "Konsekonse, tawona makampani athu akuyamba kuvomereza lingaliro la kuwonjezeredwa kwazinthu, zomwe zimaphatikizapo kulongedza pang'ono," adatero Chavez. "Ichi ndi chofunikira kwambiri kwa ife."

Vuto lake? Zowonjezeredwa zambiri pakali pano zimabwera m'matumba, omwe sangabwezeretsedwenso. "Muyenera kuwonetsetsa kuti popanga yankho lomwe lingathe kuwonjezeredwa, simupanganso kudzaza komwe sikungathenso kubwezeretsedwanso kuposa momwe zidayambira," akutero Wingstrand. "Ndiye za kupanga zonse mwanjira yonse."

Chodziwika bwino ndichakuti sipadzakhala chipolopolo chimodzi chasiliva chomwe chimathetsa nkhaniyi. Komabe, mwamwayi, ife monga ogula titha kuthandizira kusintha pofuna kuti pakhale ma eco-friendly package, chifukwa izi zidzakakamiza makampani ambiri kuti agwiritse ntchito njira zatsopano zothetsera mavuto. “Kuyankha kwa ogula n’kodabwitsa; takhala tikukula ngati oyambira kuyambira pomwe tidayambitsa mapulogalamu athu okhazikika, "Meysselle ndemanga, ndikuwonjezera kuti mitundu yonse iyenera kukwera kuti ikwaniritse tsogolo lopanda zinyalala. “Sitingapambane patokha; ndiye kuti tipambane pamodzi.”
