Indasitiri yemabhegi epurasitiki musi waNdira 30 yakaparura kuzvipira kwekuzvidira kusimudzira zvinhu zvakadzokororwa mumabhegi ezvitoro kusvika pa20 muzana panosvika 2025 sechikamu chechirongwa chekusimudzira.

Pasi pechirongwa ichi, boka guru rekutengeserana reUS riri kuzvishandura seAmerican Recyclable Plastic Bag Alliance uye riri kusimudzira tsigiro yedzidzo yevatengi uye nekuisa chinangwa chekuti zvikamu makumi mapfumbamwe neshanu muzana zvemabhegi epurasitiki ashandiswezve kana kushandiswazve panosvika 2025.

Chirongwa ichi chinouya apo vanogadzira mabhegi epurasitiki vakatarisana nekudzvinyirirwa kwezvematongerwo enyika - huwandu hwematunhu ane zvirambidzo kana zvirambidzo pamabhegi akaiswa gore rapfuura kubva maviri muna Ndira kusvika masere pakupera kwegore.

Vakuru vemaindasitiri vakati chirongwa chavo hachisi mhinduro yakananga kuzvirambidzo zvehurumende, asi vanobvuma mibvunzo yeruzhinji ichivakurudzira kuti vaite zvakawanda.

"Iyi yanga iri nhaurirano kuburikidza neindasitiri kwechinguva ikozvino kumisa zvimwe zvinangwa zvezvinyorwa zvakadzokororwa," Matt Seaholm, director director weARPBA, yaimbozivikanwa seAmerican Progressive Bag Alliance, akadaro.“Izvi isu tiri kuisa tsoka yakanaka kumberi.Munoziva, kazhinji vanhu vanowana mubvunzo, 'Zvakanaka, chii chamuri kuita seindasitiri?'”

Kuzvipira kubva kuWashington-based ARPBA kunosanganisira kuwedzera zvishoma nezvishoma kutangira pagumi muzana zvakadzokororwa zvemukati muna 2021 uye zvichikwira kusvika 15 muzana muna 2023. Seaholm anofunga kuti indasitiri ichapfuura izvo zvinangwa.

"Ini ndinofunga zvakachengeteka kufunga, kunyanya nekuedza kuri kuita kubva kune vatengesi vachikumbira kuti zvigadziriswe zvakare zvive chikamu chemabhegi, ndinofunga isu tichakunda idzi nhamba," Seaholm akadaro."Takatoita hurukuro nevatengesi vanonyatsoda izvi, vanonyanya kufarira pfungwa yekusimudzira zvirimo mumabhegi avo sechikamu chekuzvipira kusimudzira."

Iwo mazinga akadzokororwa emukati akafanana chaizvo neakadanwa zhizha rapfuura neboka Recycle More Mabhegi, mubatanidzwa wehurumende, makambani nemapoka ezvemamiriro ekunze.

Boka iro, zvisinei, raida mazinga akarairwa nehurumende, vachipokana kuti zvisungo zvekuzvidira "zvisingaite mutyairi wekuchinja chaiko."

 

Seaholm akati vagadziri vemabhegi epurasitiki vanopokana nekuita zvisungo zvakanyorwa mumutemo, asi akaratidza kumwe kuchinjika kana hurumende ichida kuda zvemukati zvakare.

"Kana nyika ikafunga kuti inoda kudiwa zvikamu gumi kubva muzana zvakadzokororwa zvakare kana 20 muzana zvakadzokororwa zvemukati, hazvizove chinhu chatinorwa," Seaholm akadaro, "asi hachisi kuzove chinhu chatinosimudzira.

"Kana nyika ichida kuzviita, isu tinofara kuita hurukuro iyoyo ... nekuti inoita izvo chaizvo zvatiri kutaura pamusoro pekuita pano, uye zvinokurudzira kushandiswa kwemagumo kune izvo zvakadzokororwa zvemukati.Uye icho chikamu chikuru chekuzvipira kwedu, kusimudzira misika yekupera,” akadaro.

Zvikamu makumi maviri muzana zvakadzokororwa zvemukati zvemabhegi epurasitiki ndizvo zvakare zvinokurudzirwa kurambidzwa kwemabhegi emhando kana mitemo yemubhadharo neboka rezvakatipoteredza reSurfrider Foundation mubhokisi rekushandisa rayakagadzirirwa varatidziri, akadaro Jennie Romer, anoshanda zviri pamutemo panheyo yePlastiki Pollution Initiative.

Surfrider, zvisinei, inodaidzira kurayira post-vatengi resin mumabhegi, sezvakaitwa neCalifornia mumutemo wayo we2016 wepurasitiki webhegi uyo wakaisa chikamu chemakumi maviri muzana chezvakadzokororwa mumabhegi epurasitiki anotenderwa pasi pemutemo wayo, Romer akadaro.Izvo zvakakwira kusvika ku40 muzana zvakadzokororwa zvemukati gore rino muCalifornia.

Seaholm akati chirongwa cheARPBA hachitsanangure kushandisa purasitiki-yevatengi, vachipokana kuti post-industrial plastiki yakanaka zvakare.Uye haisi iyo yakananga bhegi-ku-bhegi recycling chirongwa - iyo resin yakadzokororwa inogona kubva kune imwe firimu senge pallet yekuputira, akadaro.

“Hatione mutsauko mukuru ungave uri kutora mapost-consumer kana post-industrial.Neimwe nzira uri kuchengetedza zvinhu kubva mumarara, "Seaholm akadaro."Ndicho chinonyanya kukosha."

Vati parizvino zvakadzokororwa mumabhegi epurasitiki zviri pasi pegumi muzana.

Seaholm akataura kuti kusangana nezvikamu makumi maviri kubva muzana zvakadzokororwa zvemukati zvinodiwa, zvingangoita kuti US bhegi repurasitiki recycling rate richakwira.

US Environmental Protection Agency nhamba dzinoti zvikamu gumi nezviviri kubva muzana zvemabhegi epurasitiki, masaga nemaputi zvakadzokororwa muna 2016, nhamba dzegore rapfuura dziripo.

"Kuti tisvike panhamba yekupedzisira, kusvika pamakumi maviri muzana zvakadzokororwa munyika yose, hongu, isu tinofanirwa kuita basa riri nani rezvirongwa zvekudzosa chitoro, uye pakupedzisira, kana curbside ikauya online," akadaro."Nenzira ipi neipi, [tinofanira kunge tichitora] mamwe epurasitiki firimu polyethylene kuitira kuti tishandisezve."

Zvisinei, pane matambudziko.Chirevo chaChikunguru kubva kuAmerican Chemistry Council, semuenzaniso, chakacherekedza kudonha kwakanyanya kweanopfuura makumi maviri muzana mukudzokorodza firimu repurasitiki muna 2017, sezvo China yakawedzera zvirambidzo pakupinza marara kunze kwenyika.

Seaholm akati indasitiri yemabhegi haidi kuti mwero wekudzokorodza udzike, asi akabvuma kuti zvinonetsa nekuti kudzokorodza kwebhegi kunoenderana nevatengi vanotora mabhegi kuti vachengete nzvimbo dzekudonhedza.Mapurogiramu mazhinji eku curbside recycling haagamuchire mabhegi nekuti anosimudza michina pakurongedza zvivakwa, kunyangwe paine zvirongwa zvekuyedza kugadzirisa dambudziko iri.

Chirongwa cheARPBA chinosanganisira kudzidzisa kwevatengi, kuedza kuwedzera zvirongwa zvekutora zvitoro uye kuzvipira kushanda nevatengesi kuti ubatanidze mutauro wakajeka wevatengi pamusoro pekuti mabhegi anofanira kufambiswa sei.

Seaholm akati anotyira kuti kuwanda kwekurambidzwa kwemabhegi mumatunhu akaita seNew York kunogona kukuvadza kudzokorodza kana zvitoro zvikarega kupa nzvimbo dzekudonhedza, uye akasarudza mutemo mutsva muVermont unotanga gore rino.

"MuVermont, semuenzaniso, nezvinoitwa nemutemo wavo, handizive kana zvitoro zvicharamba zviine zvirongwa zvekutora zvitoro," akadaro."Chero nguva yaunorambidza chigadzirwa, unobvisa rukova urwu kuti udzokorore."

Zvakadaro, akataura chivimbo chekuti indasitiri ichazadzisa zvisungo.

“Tichaita chitsidzo;tichaona nzira yekuzviita," Seaholm akadaro."Tichiri kufunga, tichifunga kuti hafu yenyika haina kungoerekana yafunga kurambidza mabhegi epurasitiki sezvakaita Vermont, tichakwanisa kurova nhamba idzi."

Chirongwa cheARPBA chinoisawo chinangwa chekuti masaga makumi mapfumbamwe nemashanu kubva muzana achashandiswa patsva kana kushandiswa patsva muna 2025. Inofungidzira kuti zvikamu makumi mapfumbamwe kubva muzana zvemabhegi epurasitiki parizvino ari kushandiswa patsva kana kushandiswa zvakare.

Inoisa iyo kuverenga panhamba mbiri: iyo EPA's 12-13 muzana yekudzokorodza bhegi, uye fungidziro nemukuru wedunhu reQuebec rekuti 77-78 muzana yemabhegi ekutenga epurasitiki anoshandiswa zvakare, kazhinji semarara emarara.

Kuwana kubva pa90 muzana kutsauswa kwemabhegi ikozvino kusvika makumi mapfumbamwe neshanu muzana kunogona kuve kwakaoma, Seaholm akadaro.

“Ichi chinangwa chisiri nyore kusvika kwachiri nekuti chinoda kutenga mutengi,” akadaro.“Dzidzo ichave yakakosha.Tichafanirwa kuenderera mberi nekumanikidza vanhu kuti vanzwisise kudzosa mabhegi avo kuchitoro. "

Vakuru vemaindasitiri vanoona hurongwa hwavo sekuzvipira kwakakosha.Sachigaro weARPBA, Gary Alstott, anove zvakare mukuru mukugadzira mabhegi Novolex, akati indasitiri iyi yakaisa mari yakawanda mukuvaka zvivakwa zvekugadziridza mabhegi epurasitiki.

"Nhengo dzedu zvino dzinodzokorora mazana emamiriyoni emapaundi emabhegi nemafirimu epurasitiki gore rega rega, uye mumwe nemumwe wedu ari kuita zvimwe zvakawanda kuedza kukurudzira kushandiswa kwebhegi," akadaro mukutaura.
