Ngenxa yezindleko zemithwalo ehloliwe, umuntu ojwayelekile eNgilandi manje uthenga izikhwama ezine ezilayishwa kanye kuphela ezitolo ezinkulu ngonyaka, uma kuqhathaniswa nezingu-140 ngo-2014. Ngokunweba inkokhiso kubo bonke abathengisi, kulindeleke ukuthi inani lezikhwama zokuhamba ezilahlwayo. amabhizinisi amancane naphakathi azokwehliswa ngo-70-80%.
Khuthaza amabhizinisi amancane eNyakatho-ntshonalanga ukuthi alungiselele izinguquko ngaphambi kokuthi ziqale ukusebenza ngoMeyi 21. Kuqondana nocwaningo oluthola ukuthi le mali ithole ukwesekwa okukhulu emphakathini-amaphesenti angama-95 abantu baseNgilandi bayavuma izinzuzo ezibanzi imvelo kuze kube manje.
UNgqongqoshe wezeMvelo uRebecca Pow uthe: “Ukusetshenziswa kwemali engu-5 pence kube yimpumelelo enkulu, kanti ukudayiswa kwezikhwama zepulasitiki eziyingozi ezitolo ezinkulu kwehle ngo-95%.
“Siyazi ukuthi kumele sidlulele phambili ekuvikeleni imvelo yethu kanye nolwandle, yingakho manje sesidlulisela le mali kuwo wonke amabhizinisi.
“Nginxusa abathengisi bawo wonke amasayizi ukuthi baqinisekise ukuthi bakulungele ukubhekana nezinguquko ngoba sizosebenzisana ukuze sizuze indawo eluhlaza futhi siqinise izenzo zethu ezihamba phambili emhlabeni ekulweni nesihlava semfucumfucu yepulasitiki.”
UJames Lowman, oyiChief Executive Officer ye-Convenience Store Association, uthe: “Siyakwamukela ukufakwa kwezitolo zasendaweni namanye amabhizinisi amancane ohlelweni oluyimpumelelo lokushaja izikhwama zepulasitiki, olungagcini nje ngokulungela imvelo, kodwa nendlela yokuthi abathengisi bathenge izikhwama zepulasitiki. ukuqoqa izimali. Indlela enhle izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi zasekhaya nezazwelonke.”
Imenenja jikelele ye-Uber Eats yase-UK u-Sunjiv Shah uthe: “Sifuna ukwenza kube lula ngangokunokwenzeka ezinkampanini ukulahla udoti wepulasitiki futhi zisekele izimbangela ezinhle. Wonke umuntu angasiza ekuvikeleni imvelo ngokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezikhwama zepulasitiki ezilahlwayo.”
Umbiko wakamuva okhishwe yinhlangano esiza umphakathi iWRAP uveze ukuthi isishintshile indlela abantu ababheka ngayo opulasitiki kusukela kwavela izinsolo zokuqala.
. Ngenkathi kuphakanyiswa le mali okokuqala, cishe abantu abayisikhombisa kwabayishumi (69%) bavumelana “ngokuqinile” noma “kancane” nale mali, futhi manje isikhuphuke safinyelela ku-73%.
. Amakhasimende ashintsha umkhuba wokusebenzisa izikhwama zesikhathi eside ezenziwe ngezinto ezisimeme futhi ezihambisana nemvelo. Kubantu okwaxoxwa nabo, izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu (67%) bathi basebenzisa “isikhwama sokuphila” (indwangu noma ipulasitiki ehlala isikhathi eside) ukuze bayise ekhaya labo lokuthenga, baye esitolo esikhulu sokudla, futhi bangu-14% kuphela abantu abasebenzisa izikhwama ezilahlwayo. .
. Ikota kuphela (26%) yabantu abathenga izikhwama kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni lapho besebenza njengesitolo sokudla, futhi u-4% wabo uthe “njalo” uyakwenza. Lokhu kwehle kakhulu selokhu kwaqala ukusebenza le mali ngo-2014, lapho abaphendulile abangaphezu kokuphindwe kabili (57%) bathi bafuna ukukhipha izikhwama zepulasitiki ezikhwameni. Khona manjalo, abangaphezu kwengxenye (54%) bathi bathathe imithwalo emincane endaweni yokugcina impahla.
. Cishe ingxenye (49%) yabaneminyaka engu-18-34 ubudala bathi bathenga izikhwama okungenani ngesikhathi esithile, kuyilapho abangaphezu kwengxenye eyodwa kweshumi (11%) yabantu abaneminyaka engaphezu kuka-55 bazothenga.
Kusukela ekusetshenzisweni kwale mali, umdayisi unikele ngemali engaphezu kuka-£150 million ekusizeni abaswele, isevisi yokuzithandela, izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi ngezemvelo nezempilo.
Lesi sinyathelo sizosiza iBrithani ukuthi ilulame kulo bhubhane kangcono futhi inobungani nemvelo, futhi iqinise ubuholi bethu bomhlaba wonke ekulweni nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kanye nokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki. Njengokusingatha i-COP26 kulo nyaka, usihlalo weQembu Labayisikhombisa (G7) kanye nobambe iqhaza elikhulu ku-CBD COP15, sihola i-ajenda yamazwe ngamazwe yokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu.
Ekulweni nokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki, uhulumeni ukuvimbele ukusetshenziswa kwama-microbeads emikhiqizweni yokunakekelwa komuntu siqu ehlanjululwe futhi uvimbele ukuhlinzekwa kwezitsha zepulasitiki, ama-blenders namaswabs kakotini eNgilandi. Kusukela ngo-April 2022, intela ehamba phambili emhlabeni wonke yokupakishwa kwepulasitiki izokhokhiswa emikhiqizweni engenakho okungenani u-30% wokuqukethwe okugaywe kabusha, futhi uhulumeni okwamanje ubonisana noshintsho oluyingqopha-mlando oluzokwethula uhlelo lokubuyisela idiphozi yeziqukathi zesiphuzo kanye nokwandiswa komkhiqizi. umthwalo womkhiqizi. iphasela.
