I-Ocean Foundation kanye Nohulumeni BaseNordic Babiza Ingxoxo Ngokungcoliswa KwePlastiki Yomhlaba Wonke

Ngomhla ziyi-13 kuMfumfu, i-Ocean Foundation isingathe umcimbi obonakalayo neNxusa LaseFinland, Inxusa LaseSweden, Inxusa Lase-Iceland, Inxusa LaseDenmark kanye NeNxusa LaseNorway. Umcimbi ububanjelwe ukuqhubeka nomfutho ekukhuphuleni izifiso zokushaya ukungcoliswa kwepulasitiki naphezu kwalolu bhubhane. Esimeni esibonakalayo, amazwe aseNordic afinyelele kwezinye izifunda zomhlaba ukuze aqhubeke nengxoxo yomhlaba wonke nemboni ezimele.

Isingathwe ngu-Mark J. Spalding, uMongameli we-The Ocean Foundation, umcimbi ubunamaphaneli amabili akhiqiza kakhulu abelane ngemibono yomibili kahulumeni kanye nemibono yemboni ezimele. Izipikha zazihlanganisa:

• Omele i-United States u-Chellie Pingree (Maine)
• UNobhala Wezwe uMaren Hersleth Holsen eMnyangweni Wesimo Sezulu Nezemvelo, eNorway
• U-Mattias Philipsson, oyi-CEO ye-Swedish Plastic Recycling, Ilungu lethimba laseSweden le-Circular Economy
• UMarko Kärkkäinen, Isikhulu Esiphezulu Sezohwebo, Global, Clewat Ltd. 
• USigurður Halldórsson, oyi-CEO yePure North Recycling
• U-Gitte Buk Larsen, onguMnikazi, uSihlalo weBhodi kanye noMqondisi Wokuthuthukiswa Kwebhizinisi Nezokumaketha, u-Aage Vestergaard Larsen

Bangaphezu kwekhulu ababambiqhaza abahlangene ukuze bahlanganyele engxoxweni nabaholi abafanele ukudingida inselele yokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki emhlabeni. Sekukonke, umhlangano ucele ukulungiswa kwezikhala ezibalulekile ezimisweni zomthetho nenqubomgomo yamazwe ngamazwe ezifanele ukulwa nokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki olwandle ngokuvala le mibono emibili. Okugqamile okuvela kungxoxo yephaneli kufaka phakathi:

• Ipulasitiki idlala indima ebalulekile emphakathini. Yehlise ukuphuka, yehlisa izinga lekhabhoni kwezokuthutha, futhi ibalulekile ekuphepheni komphakathi nempilo, ikakhulukazi njengoba sibhekana nobhubhane lomhlaba wonke lwe-COVID. Kulawo mapulasitiki abalulekile ezimpilweni zethu, kudingeka siqinisekise ukuthi angasetshenziswa kabusha futhi agaywe kabusha;

• Izinhlaka ezicacile nezisebenzayo ziyadingeka esikalini samazwe ngamazwe, sikazwelonke, nesendawo ukuze bobabili baqondise abakhiqizi ngokuqagela kanye nokusebenzisa izinhlelo zokugaywa kabusha. Inqubekelaphambili yakamuva neNgqungquthela ye-Basel emazweni ngamazwe kanye ne-Save Our Seas Act 2.0 e-United States kokubili kusiyisa endleleni efanele, kodwa umsebenzi owengeziwe usasele;

• Umphakathi udinga ukubheka kakhulu ekudizayineni kabusha amapulasitiki kanye nemikhiqizo esiyenza ngepulasitiki, okuhlanganisa nokuhlola ezinye izindlela ezibolayo ezifana nezinye ezisekelwe ku-cellulose ezihlahleni ngokusebenzisa imikhuba yamahlathi esimeme, phakathi kokunye. Kodwa-ke, inhlanganisela yezinto ezibolayo ezingaboli emfudlaneni kadoti iletha izinselele ezengeziwe zokugaywa kabusha okungokwesiko;

• Imfucuza ingaba yinsiza. Izindlela ezintsha ezivela embonini ezimele zingasisiza ukuthi sinciphise ukusetshenziswa kwamandla futhi sikhuphukele ezindaweni ezihlukene, nokho, izinhlaka ezihlukene zokulawula nezezimali zikhawulela indlela ubuchwepheshe obuthile obungadluliseka ngayo ngempela;

• Kudingeka sithuthukise izimakethe ezingcono zemikhiqizo egaywe kabusha nomthengi ngamunye futhi sinqume ngokucophelela indima izinxephezelo zezezimali ezifana nezibonelelo ezinazo ukuze kube lula lokho kukhetha;

• Akukho usayizi owodwa olingana sonke isisombululo. Kokubili ukugaywa kabusha kwemishini yendabuko kanye nezindlela ezintsha zokugaywa kabusha kwamakhemikhali kuyadingeka ukuze kubhekwane nemifudlana ehlukahlukene yemfucuza ehlanganisa izinhlobonhlobo zama-polymer axubile nezithasiselo;

• Ukugaywa kabusha akufanele kudinge iziqu zobunjiniyela. Kufanele sisebenzele ohlelweni lomhlaba wonke lokulebula okucacile ukuze kusetshenziswe kabusha ukuze abathengi bakwazi ukwenza ingxenye yabo ekugcineni ukusakaza okulahlwayo kuhlungwe ukuze kucutshungulwe kalula;

• Kufanele sifunde kulokho osongoti embonini asebakwenza, futhi sinikeze izikhuthazo zokusebenza nomkhakha kahulumeni, futhi

• Amazwe ase-Nordic anesifiso sokwamukela igunya lokuxoxisana ngesivumelwano esisha somhlaba wonke sokuvimbela ukungcoliswa kwepulasitiki ngesikhathi esilandelayo esingaba khona eMhlanganweni Wezemvelo we-UN.

Okulandelayo

Ngethu Ukuklama kabusha iPlastiki Initiative, I-Ocean Foundation ibheke ngabomvu ukuqhubeka nezingxoxo nabahlanganyeli. 

Ekuqaleni kwesonto elizayo, zingama-19 kuMfumfu wezi-2020, iNordic Council of Environmental and Climate Ministers izokhipha umbiko. Umbiko we-Nordic: Izinto Ezingenzeka Zesivumelwano Sezwe Esitsha Sokuvimbela Ukungcola Kwepulasitiki. Umcimbi uzosakazwa bukhoma kuwebhusayithi yabo ngo NordicReport2020.com.
