I-Ocean Foundation kunye nooRhulumente baseNordic babiza iiNgxoxo malunga noNgcoliseko lwePlastiki yeHlabathi

Nge-13 ka-Okthobha, i-Ocean Foundation yabamba umsitho obonakalayo kunye ne-Embassy yaseFinland, i-Embassy yaseSweden, i-Embassy yase-Iceland, i-Embassy yase-Denmark kunye ne-Embassy yaseNorway. Umnyhadala wawubanjelwe ukuqhubeka nomfutho ekunyuseni amabhongo okubetha ungcoliseko lweplastiki ngaphandle kobhubhane. Kwimeko yenyani, amazwe eNordic afikelela kweminye imimandla yehlabathi ukuqhubeka nencoko yehlabathi kunye necandelo labucala.

Imodareyithwe nguMark J. Spalding, uMongameli we-Ocean Foundation, isiganeko sasiquka iiphaneli ezimbini ezivelisa kakhulu ezabelana ngemibono karhulumente kunye neembono zecandelo labucala. Izithethi ziquka:

• Ummeli waseUnited States uChellie Pingree (eMaine)
• UNobhala kaRhulumente uMaren Hersleth Holsen kwiSebe lezeMozulu kunye nokusiNgqongileyo, eNorway
• UMattias Philipsson, i-CEO ye-Swedish Plastic Recycling, iLungu le-Swedish Abathunywa kuQoqosho lweSetyhula.
• UMarko Kärkkäinen, iGosa eliyiNtloko lezoRhwebo, iGlobal, Clewat Ltd. 
• Sigurður Halldórsson, i-CEO yePure North Recycling
• UGitte Buk Larsen, uMnini, uSihlalo weBhodi kunye noPhuhliso lweShishini kunye noMlawuli weNtengiso, uAage Vestergaard Larsen

Bangaphezu kwekhulu abathathi-nxaxheba bahlanganisene ukuze bajoyine ingxoxo neenkokeli ezifanelekileyo ukuxoxa ngomngeni wongcoliseko lweplastiki yehlabathi. Lilonke, intlanganiso ibize ukulungisa izikhewu ezingundoqo kumthetho wamazwe ngamazwe kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo ofanelekileyo wokulwa nokungcoliseka kweplastiki yolwandle ngokuvala le mibono mibini. Amagqabantshintshi asuka kwingxoxo yendawo yolawulo aquka:

• Iplastiki idlala indima ebalulekileyo kuluntu. Iye yanciphisa ukwaphuka, yanciphisa i-carbon footprint yezothutho, kwaye ibalulekile kukhuseleko loluntu kunye nempilo, ngakumbi njengoko sijongana nobhubhani we-COVID wehlabathi. Kwezo plastiki zibaluleke kakhulu kubomi bethu, kufuneka siqinisekise ukuba zingaphinda zisetyenziswe kwaye zisetyenziswe kwakhona;

• Izikhokelo ezicacileyo nezisebenzayo ziyafuneka kwizikali zamazwe ngamazwe, zesizwe, nezasekhaya kubo bobabini abavelisi abakhokelayo ngokuqikelela nokuphumeza iinkqubo zokurisayikilishwa. Inkqubela phambili yakutsha nje kunye neNgqungquthela ye-Basel kumazwe ngamazwe kunye ne-Save Our Seas Act 2.0 e-United States zombini zisiqhubela kwicala elifanelekileyo, kodwa umsebenzi owongezelelekileyo usahleli;

• Uluntu kufuneka lujonge ngakumbi ekuyilweni ngokutsha kweeplastiki kunye neemveliso esizenzayo kwiplastiki, kubandakanywa nokuvavanya ezinye iindlela ezinokuthi zenzeke njenge-cellulose-based based alternatives ukusuka kwimithi ngokusebenzisa izenzo zamahlathi ezizinzileyo, phakathi kwezinye. Nangona kunjalo, umxube wezinto ezibolisiweyo kumlambo wenkunkuma uzisa imingeni eyongezelelekileyo ekusetyenzisweni ngokutsha kwemveli;

• Inkunkuma inokuba ngumthombo. Iindlela ezitsha ezisuka kwicandelo labucala zingasinceda ukuba sinciphise ukusetyenziswa kwamandla kwaye sifikeleleke kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo, nangona kunjalo, izikhokelo zolawulo nezezimali ezohlukeneyo ziyayinqanda indlela ubugcisa obuthile obunokudluliselwa ngayo;

• Kufuneka siphuhlise iimarike ezingcono zeemveliso ezisetyenzisiweyo kunye nomthengi ngamnye kwaye siqinisekise ngononophelo indima edlalwa yinkuthazo yemali njengenkxaso-mali ukuququzelela olo khetho;

• Akukho bukhulu obunye bulingana naso sonke isisombululo. Zombini ukurisayikilishwa koomatshini bemveli kunye neendlela ezintsha zokuphinda kusetyenziswe imichiza ziyafuneka ukujongana nemijelo yenkunkuma eyahlukeneyo ebandakanya iintlobo ngeentlobo zeepolima ezixubeneyo kunye nezongezo;

• Ukurisayikilisha akufuneki ukuba kufune isidanga sobunjineli. Kufuneka sisebenzele inkqubo yehlabathi yokuleyibhelishwa okucacileyo ukuze kusetyenziswe kwakhona ukuze abathengi bakwazi ukwenza indima yabo ekugcineni imijelo yenkunkuma ilungelelaniselwe ukusetyenzwa lula;

• Kufuneka sifunde kwinto esele yenziwe ngabasebenzi kushishino, kwaye sinikeze inkuthazo yokusebenza necandelo likarhulumente, kwaye

• Amazwe aseNordic anomnqweno wokwamkela isigunyaziso sokuthethathethana ngesivumelwano esitsha sehlabathi sokuthintela ungcoliseko lweplastiki kwixesha elizayo elinokwenzeka kwiNdibano yezokusiNgqongileyo ye-UN.

Yintoni elandelayo

Ngethu Ukuyila ngokutsha iPhulo lePlastiki, I-Ocean Foundation ijonge phambili kwiingxoxo eziqhubekayo kunye nabaphathi bephaneli. 

Ekuqaleni kweveki ezayo, nge-19 ka-Okthobha 2020, iBhunga laseNordic lezeNdalo kunye nabaPhathiswa beMozulu baya kukhupha Ingxelo yeNordic: Izinto ezinokwenzeka zeSivumelwano esitsha sehlabathi sokuthintela ukuNgcoliseka kwePlastiki. Umsitho uza kusasazwa ngqo kwiwebhusayithi yabo ngo NordicReport2020.com.
