Uhlela kabusha ukugaya kwakho, ukushiye ukuthi kuqoqwe - bese kuthiwani?Kusukela emikhandlwini eshisa inkatho kuya ezindaweni zokulahla imfucuza zakwamanye amazwe ezichichima udoti waseBrithani, u-Oliver Franklin-Wallis ubika ngenhlekelele yomhlaba wonke kadoti.
I-alamu iyakhala, ukuvinjelwa kusuliwe, futhi ulayini oseGreen Recycling eMaldon, Essex, uyaduma ubuyela empilweni.Umfula omkhulu kadoti ugoqeka phansi komthumeli: amabhokisi ekhadibhodi, i-skirting board ehlukene, amabhodlela epulasitiki, amaphakethe acwebile, amakesi e-DVD, amabhokisi ephrinta, inqwaba yamaphephandaba, kuhlanganise naleli.Izingcezwana ezingajwayelekile zidonsa amehlo, zihlanganisa ama-vignettes amancane: igilavu eyodwa elahliwe.Isitsha se-Tupperware esichotshoziwe, ukudla ngaphakathi akudliwe.Isithombe sengane emomothekayo emahlombe omuntu omdala.Kodwa bahambe ngomzuzwana.Ulayini waseGreen Recycling uphatha imfucuza efika kumathani ayi-12 ngehora.
“Sikhiqiza amathani angama-200 kuye kwangama-300 ngosuku,” kusho u-Jamie Smith, umphathi jikelele wakwaGreen Recycling, ngenhla kwe-din.Simi izitezi ezintathu phezulu emgwaqeni oluhlaza wezempilo nokuphepha, sibheke ezansi kulayini.Phansi phansi, i-excavator ithatha izindwani zikadoti ezindundumeni bese inqwabelanisa esigubhini esiphothayo, esiwusakaza ngokulinganayo ku-conveyor.Ebhandeni, izisebenzi ezingabantu zikhetha futhi zidlulisele lokho okuyigugu (amabhodlela, amakhadibhodi, amathini e-aluminium) zibe izingcezu zokuhlunga.
USmith, oneminyaka engu-40, uthi: “Imikhiqizo yethu eyinhloko amaphepha, amakhadibhodi, amabhodlela epulasitiki, amapulasitiki axutshwe nokhuni. Sibona ukwanda okukhulu kwamabhokisi ngenxa ye-Amazon.”Ekupheleni komugqa, isifufula sesiphenduke isifufula.Izitezi zikadoti zipakishwe kahle emabhaleni, zilungele ukulayishwa emalolini.Ukusuka lapho, kuzohamba - kahle, yilapho kuba nzima khona.
Uphuza i-Coca-Cola, uphonsa ibhodlela endaweni egaywa kabusha, ubeke imigqomo ngosuku lokuqoqa bese ukhohlwa ngakho.Kodwa ayishabalali.Yonke into onayo ngolunye usuku iyoba impahla yalokhu, imboni kadoti, ibhizinisi lomhlaba wonke lika-£250bn elizimisele ukukhipha yonke isenti lokugcina lenani kulokho okusele.Iqala ngezinsiza zokubuyisela izinto zokwakha (MRFs) njengalena, ehlela udoti ezingxenyeni zayo.Ukusuka lapho, izinto zokwakha zingena kunethiwekhi ye-labyrinthine yabathengisi nabahwebi.Okunye kwalokho kwenzeka e-UK, kodwa okuningi kwakho - cishe ingxenye yawo wonke amaphepha namakhadibhodi, kanye nezingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zamapulasitiki - kuzolayishwa emikhunjini yamabhokisi ezothunyelwa eYurophu noma e-Asia ukuze igaywe kabusha.Iphepha nekhadibhodi liya ezigayweni;ingilazi iyawashwa futhi iphinde isetshenziswe noma iphihlizwe futhi incibilike, njengensimbi nepulasitiki.Ukudla, nanoma yini enye, kuyashiswa noma kuthunyelwe endaweni yokulahla udoti.
Noma, okungenani, kwakuyindlela okwakusebenza ngayo.Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala luka-2018, iChina, imakethe enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni yemfucuza egaywe kabusha, yavala iminyango yayo.Ngaphansi kwenqubomgomo ye-National Sword, i-China ivimbele izinhlobo zemfucuza ezingama-24 ukuthi zingangeni kuleli, iphikisa ngokuthi lokho okufikayo kungcoliswe kakhulu.Ukushintsha kwenqubomgomo ngokwengxenye kwakubangelwa umthelela wedokhumentari, i-Plastic China, eyasakazeka ngaphambi kokuba abahloli bayisule ku-inthanethi yaseChina.Le filimu ilandela umndeni osebenza embonini yezwe yokugaywa kabusha kwezinto, lapho abantu becosha khona izindunduma ezinkulu zemfucuza yasentshonalanga, ukuqhekeka kanye nokuncibilika amapulastiki acwengekayo abe ama-pellets angadayiselwa abakhiqizi.Kungumsebenzi ongcolile, ongcolisayo - futhi okhokhelwa kabi.Okusele kuvame ukushiswa endaweni evulekile.Umndeni uhlala eduze komshini wokuhlunga, indodakazi yabo eneminyaka engu-11 ubudala idlala noBarbie ekhishwe kudoti.
Umkhandlu wase-Westminster uthumele u-82% wayo yonke imfucuza yasendlini - okuhlanganisa naleyo efakwe emigqonyeni yokugaywa kabusha - ukuthi izoshiswa ngo-2017/18.
Kubenzi bokusebenzisa kabusha abafana noSmith, i-National Sword kwaba igalelo elikhulu.“Intengo yekhadibhodi cishe yehle ngohhafu ezinyangeni eziyi-12 ezedlule,” usho kanje.“Intengo yopulasitiki yehle ngendlela yokuthi akusafanele ukugaywa kabusha.Uma iChina ingawuthathi upulasitiki, ngeke sikwazi ukuwudayisa.”Noma kunjalo, leyo mfucumfucu kufanele iye endaweni ethile.I-UK, njengezizwe eziningi ezithuthukile, ikhiqiza imfucuza eminingi kunaleyo engayisebenza ekhaya: amathani angama-230m ngonyaka - cishe u-1.1kg umuntu ngamunye ngosuku.(Izwe lase-US, okuyisizwe esisaphaza kakhulu emhlabeni, sikhiqiza u-2kg umuntu ngamunye ngosuku.) Ngokushesha, imakethe yaqala ukukhukhula noma yiliphi izwe elalizothatha udoti: iThailand, i-Indonesia, iVietnam, amazwe anamanani aphezulu kakhulu emhlabeni alokho abacwaningi abakubiza ngokuthi. “ukuphatha kabi imfucuza” – udoti oshiywe noma ushiswe ezindaweni zokulahla imfucuza ezivulekile, ezindaweni ezingekho emthethweni noma ezikhungweni ezinombiko onganele, okwenza kube nzima ukulandelela isiphetho sawo.
Indawo yokulahla yamanje eyintandokazi yiMalaysia.Ngo-Okthoba nyakenye, uphenyo olwatholwa yiGreenpeace lwathola izintaba zemfucuza yaseBrithani neyaseYurophu ezindaweni zokulahla izinto ezingekho emthethweni lapho: Amaphakethe e-Tesco crisp, amashubhu e-Flora kanye nezikhwama zokuqoqwa kabusha ezivela emikhandlwini emithathu yaseLondon.NjengaseShayina, imfucuza ivame ukushiswa noma iyekwe, ekugcineni ifinyelele emifuleni nasezilwandle.NgoMeyi, uhulumeni waseMalaysia waqala ukubuyisela emuva imikhumbi yeziqukathi, ekhuluma ngokukhathazeka kwezempilo yomphakathi.I-Thailand ne-India bamemezele ukuvalwa kokungeniswa kwemfucuza yepulasitiki yangaphandle.Kodwa noma kunjalo udoti uyageleza.
Sifuna kufihlwe imfucuza yethu.I-Green Recycling ibekwe eceleni ekugcineni kwendawo yezimboni, izungezwe amabhodi ensimbi ahlehlisa umsindo.Ngaphandle, umshini obizwa ngokuthi i-Air Spectrum uvala iphunga le-acrid ngephunga lamashidi kakotini.Kodwa, kungazelelwe, imboni ingaphansi kokuhlolwa okukhulu.E-UK, amanani okugaywa kabusha amile eminyakeni yamuva nje, kuyilapho i-National Sword kanye nokuncishiswa kwezimali kuye kwaholela ekushisweni kwemfucuza eminingi ezindaweni ezishiswayo nasezitshalweni zamandla asuka kudoti.(Ukushiswa, nakuba kuvame ukugxekwa ngokungcolisa kanye nomthombo wamandla ongasebenzi ngendlela efanele, namuhla kuncanyelwa endaweni yokulahla imfucumfucu, ekhipha i-methane futhi ekwazi ukukhipha amakhemikhali anobuthi.) Umkhandlu wase-Westminster uthumele u-82% wayo yonke imfucuza yasendlini - okuhlanganisa naleyo efakwa emigqonyeni yokugaywa kabusha - ukuze ukushiswa kowezi-2017/18.Eminye imikhandlu ixoxisane ngokuyeka ngokuphelele ukugaywa kabusha.Futhi nokho i-UK iyizwe eliphumelelayo lokugaywa kabusha: u-45.7% wayo yonke imfucuza yasendlini ithathwa njengegaywe kabusha (yize leyo nombolo ibonisa kuphela ukuthi ithunyelwe ukuze igaywe kabusha, hhayi lapho igcina khona.) E-US, leso sibalo singama-25.8%.
Enye yezinkampani ezinkulu zikadoti e-UK, izame ukuthumela amanabukeni asetshenzisiwe phesheya kwempahla ebhalwe njengephepha likadoti.
Uma ubheka amapulasitiki, isithombe sifiphala nakakhulu.Emathani angu-8.3bn epulasitiki akhiqizwa emhlabeni wonke, u-9% kuphela oseke wagaywa kabusha, ngokusho kwephepha le-Science Advances langowezi-2017 elinesihloko esithi Production, Use And Fate Of All Plastics Ever Made.“Ngicabanga ukuthi isilinganiso esihle kakhulu somhlaba wonke siwukuthi mhlawumbe siku-20% [ngonyaka] emhlabeni jikelele njengamanje,” kusho u-Roland Geyer, umbhali wayo ophambili, uprofesa wezemvelo yezimboni e-University of California, e-Santa Barbara.Izifundiswa kanye nama-NGO ayangabaza lezo zinombolo, ngenxa yesiphetho esingaqinisekile sokuthunyelwa kwethu kwemfucuza.NgoJuni, enye yezinkampani ezinkulu zikadoti e-UK, i-Biffa, yatholwa inecala lokuzama ukuthumela amanabukeni asesebenzile, amathawula okugeza nezingubo phesheya kwezimpahla ezimakwe njengephepha elilahliwe.“Ngicabanga ukuthi kuningi ukubala kwezimali okuqhubekayo ukuze kukhuphule izinombolo,” kusho uGeyer.
“Kuyinganekwane ephelele ngempela lapho abantu bethi sigaya kabusha amapulasitiki ethu,” kusho uJim Puckett, umqondisi omkhulu we-Seattle-based Basel Action Network, ekhankasela ukuhwebelana ngokungemthetho kwemfucuza.“Konke kuzwakale kukuhle.'Izogaywa kabusha eShayina!'Ngiyakuzonda ukuyihlephula kuwo wonke umuntu, kodwa lezi zindawo zivame ukulahla izinqwaba [zalowo] pulasitiki futhi ziwushise emlilweni ovulekile.”
Ukugaywa kabusha kudala njenge-thrift.AmaJapane ayegaya kabusha iphepha ngekhulu le-11;abakhandi bensimbi benkathi ephakathi benza izikhali ngezinsimbi ezilahliwe.Phakathi nempi yezwe yesibili, izinsimbi ezilahliwe zenziwa amathangi namanayiloni abesifazane aba amapharashuthi.“Inkinga yaqala lapho, ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yawo-70, siqala ukuzama ukugaywa kabusha imfucuza yasendlini,” kusho uGeyer.Lokhu kwakungcoliswe yizo zonke izinhlobo zezinto ezingathandeki: izinto ezingaphinde zisetshenziswe, imfucumfucu yokudla, amafutha noketshezi olubola futhi lonakalise amabhala.
Ngaso leso sikhathi, imboni yokupakisha yagcwala amakhaya ethu ngepulasitiki eshibhile: amashubhu, amafilimu, amabhodlela, imifino egoqwe ngaminyene.Ipulasitiki yilapho ukugaywa kabusha kuba nempikiswano kakhulu.Ukugaywa kabusha kwe-aluminium, ake sithi, kuqondile, kunenzuzo futhi kuzwakala kumvelo: ukwenza ithini nge-aluminiyamu egaywe kabusha kunciphisa i-carbon footprint yayo kuze kufike ku-95%.Kodwa ngepulasitiki, akulula kangako.Nakuba cishe wonke amapulasitiki angagaywa kabusha, amaningi akubangelwa ukuthi inqubo iyabiza, iyinkimbinkimbi futhi umkhiqizo owumphumela usezingeni eliphansi kunalokho okufaka kukho. Izinzuzo zokunciphisa ikhabhoni nazo azicace kangako.“Uyithumela ngapha nangapha, bese kufanele uyiwashe, bese kufanele uyiqobe, bese kufanele uyincibilikise kabusha, ukuze ukuqoqwa nokugaywa kabusha kube nomthelela wako kwezemvelo,” kusho uGeyer.
Ukugaywa kabusha kwasekhaya kudinga ukuhlunga ngezinga elikhulu.Yingakho amazwe amaningi athuthukile enemigqomo enamakhodi anemibala: ukugcina umkhiqizo wokugcina umsulwa ngangokunokwenzeka.E-UK, i-Recycle Now yenza uhlu lwamalebula ahlukene angama-28 okugaya angavela emaphaketheni.Kukhona i-mobius loop (imicibisholo emithathu esontekile), ekhombisa ukuthi umkhiqizo ungagaywa kabusha ngokwezobuchwepheshe;ngezinye izikhathi lolo phawu luqukethe inombolo ephakathi kweyodwa nesikhombisa, ebonisa inhlaka yepulasitiki okwenziwa ngayo into.Kukhona ichashaza eliluhlaza (imicibisholo emibili eluhlaza egona), elibonisa ukuthi umkhiqizi ube nesandla esimisweni sokuvuselela kabusha saseYurophu.Kunamalebula athi “I-Widely Recycled” (eyamukelekayo ngama-75% emikhandlu yasendaweni) kanye nokuthi “Hlola Ukugaywa Kabusha Kwendawo” (phakathi kwama-20% nama-75% emikhandlu).
Kusukela ku-National Sword, ukuhlunga sekubaluleke kakhulu, njengoba izimakethe zaphesheya zifuna izinto ezisezingeni eliphezulu.“Abafuni ukuba indawo yokulahla udoti emhlabeni, ngokufanelekile,” kusho uSmith, njengoba sihamba ngomugqa Wokulahla Kabusha Okuhlaza.Cishe phakathi nendawo, abesifazane abane abagqoke i-hi-vis namakepisi bakhipha izingcezu ezinkulu zamakhadibhodi namafilimu epulasitiki, imishini edonsa kanzima.Kunomsindo ophansi emoyeni kanye nothuli olugqinsile emgwaqeni wezigelekeqe.I-Green Recycling iyi-MRF yezentengiselwano: kuthatha imfucuza ezikoleni, emakolishi nasemabhizinisini endawo.Lokho kusho ivolumu ephansi, kodwa amamajini angcono, njengoba inkampani ingakhokhisa amaklayenti ngokuqondile futhi igcine ukulawula lokho ekuqoqayo."Ibhizinisi limayelana nokuguqula utshani lube igolide," kusho uSmith, ebhekise kuRumpelstiltskin."Kodwa kunzima - futhi sekuya kuba nzima kakhulu."
Ngasekupheleni komugqa kukhona umshini uSmith athemba ukuthi uzokushintsha lokho.Ngonyaka odlule, i-Green Recycling yaba yi-MRF yokuqala e-UK ukutshala imali ku-Max, umshini wokuhlunga owenziwe e-US, ohlakaniphe ngokuzenzela.Ngaphakathi kwebhokisi elikhulu elicacile phezu kwesithumeli, ingalo yokumunca irobhothi ephawulwe ukuthi i-FlexPicker TM iyaziphulela emuva naphambili phezu kwebhande, icosha ngokungakhathali.“Ufuna amabhodlela epulasitiki kuqala,” kusho uSmith.“Ukhetha ama-60 ngomzuzu.Abantu bazokhetha phakathi kuka-20 no-40, ngosuku oluhle. "Isistimu yekhamera ikhomba udoti odlulayo, ibonisa ukuhlukaniswa okuningiliziwe esikrinini esiseduze.Umshini awuhloselwe ukuvala indawo yabantu, kodwa ukukhulisa.“Ukhetha amathani amathathu emfucuza ngosuku obekungadingeka ukuthi abafana bethu abangabantu bahambe,” kusho uSmith.Eqinisweni, irobhothi selidale umsebenzi omusha womuntu ukuze liwunakekele: lokhu kwenziwa nguDanielle, abasebenzi abambiza ngokuthi “umama kaMax”.Izinzuzo zokuzenzakalela, uSmith uthi, zikabili: izinto eziningi okufanele zithengiswe kanye nemfucuza encane inkampani edinga ukuyikhokha ukuze ishe ngemuva kwalokho.Amajini mancane futhi intela yokulahla imfucumfucu ingu-£91 ithani.
USmith akayedwa ekubekeni ukholo lwakhe kwezobuchwepheshe.Njengoba abathengi kanye nohulumeni bethukuthele ngenxa yenkinga yepulasitiki, imboni yemfucuza izama ukuxazulula le nkinga.Ithemba elilodwa elikhulu ukugaywa kabusha kwamakhemikhali: ukushintsha amapulasitiki ayinkinga abe uwoyela noma igesi ngezinqubo zezimboni.“Ivuselela kabusha uhlobo lwamapulasitiki okugaywa kabusha okuyimishini okungenakubuka: izikhwama, amasaka, amapulasitiki amnyama,” kusho u-Adrian Griffiths, umsunguli we-Swindon-based Recycling Technologies.Umbono wathola indlela eya kuGriffiths, owayengumxhumanisi wabaphathi, ngephutha, ngemva kwephutha ekukhululweni kwabezindaba kweNyuvesi yaseWarwick.“Bathi bangaguqula noma yimuphi upulasitiki omdala ube yi-monomer.Ngaleso sikhathi, babengakwazi,” kusho uGriffiths.Emangele, uGriffiths wathintana naye.Ugcine esesebenzisana nabacwaningi ethula inkampani engenza lokhu.
Embonini yokuhlola i-Recycling Technologies e-Swindon, ipulasitiki (uGriffiths ithi ingacubungula noma yiluphi uhlobo) ifakwa ekamelweni eliwumbhoshongo lokuqhekeka kwensimbi, lapho ihlukaniswa khona emazingeni okushisa aphakeme kakhulu ibe igesi kanye nowoyela, i-plaxx, engasetshenziswa njengendawo yokugezela. uphethiloli noma isitokwe sepulasitiki esisha.Ngenkathi isimo somhlaba wonke sesiphendukele kupulasitiki, uGriffiths ungumvikeli ongavamile wawo.“Ukupakishwa kwepulasitiki kwenze umsebenzi oncomekayo emhlabeni wonke, ngoba kwehlisile inani lengilazi, insimbi nephepha ebesilisebenzisa,” usho kanje.“Into engikhathaza kakhulu ukwedlula inkinga yepulasitiki ukufudumala komhlaba.Uma usebenzisa ingilazi eningi, insimbi eyengeziwe, lezo zinto zinekhabhoni ephakeme kakhulu.”Le nkampani isanda kwethula uhlelo lwesivivinyo neTesco futhi isivele isebenza endaweni yesibili, eScotland.Ekugcineni, uGriffiths unethemba lokudayisa imishini ezindaweni zokugaywa kabusha emhlabeni jikelele.“Kumele siyeke ukuthumela izinto ezigaywe kabusha phesheya,” usho kanje."Awukho umphakathi ophucuzekile okufanele ulahle imfucuza yawo uye ezweni elisathuthuka."
Kunesizathu sokuba nethemba: ngoDisemba 2018, uhulumeni wase-UK washicilela isu elisha eliphelele lokulahlwa kwemfucuza, ngokwengxenye ukuphendula kwi-National Sword.Phakathi kweziphakamiso zayo: intela emaphaketheni epulasitiki aqukethe izinto ezigaywe kabusha ezingaphansi kuka-30%;uhlelo lokulebula olwenziwe lula;kanye nezindlela zokuphoqa izinkampani ukuthi zizibophezele ekufakweni kwepulasitiki ezikukhiqizayo.Banethemba lokuthi bazophoqa imboni ukuthi itshale imali ekugayweni kabusha kwengqalasizinda emakhaya.
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, imboni iphoqeleka ukuba ivumelane nezimo: ngoMeyi, amazwe angu-186 adlulisa izinyathelo zokulandelela nokulawula ukuthunyelwa kwemfucuza yepulasitiki emazweni asathuthuka, kuyilapho izinkampani ezingaphezu kuka-350 zisayine ukuzibophezela komhlaba wonke ukuqeda ukusetshenziswa kwepulasitiki esetshenziswa kanye. 2025.
Nokho injalo imfucumfucu yemfucumfucu yabantu kangangokuthi le mizamo ingase inganeli.Amazinga okugaywa kabusha entshonalanga ayama futhi ukusetshenziswa kokupakisha kusethwe ukuthi kunyuke emazweni asathuthuka, lapho amanani okugaywa kabusha ephansi.Uma i-National Sword isibonise noma yini, ukuthi ukuvuselela kabusha - ngenkathi kudingekile - akwanele ukuxazulula inkinga yethu yokulahlwa.
Mhlawumbe kukhona okunye.Njengoba iBlue Planet II isilethe inkinga yepulasitiki, uhwebo olufayo luqala kabusha eBrithani: umthengisi wobisi.Abaningi bethu bakhetha ukulethwa kwamabhodlela obisi, aqoqwe futhi asetshenziswe kabusha.Amamodeli afanayo ayanda: izitolo ezingalahli lutho ezidinga ukuthi uziphathele ezakho iziqukathi;ukwanda kwezinkomishi namabhodlela agcwalisekayo.Kunjengokungathi sikhumbule ukuthi isiqubulo esidala sezemvelo esithi “Nciphisa, sebenzisa kabusha, sebenzisa kabusha, sebenzisa kabusha” asizange nje sihehe, kodwa sikleliswe ngokulandelana okuthandwayo.
U-Tom Szaky ufuna ukusebenzisa imodeli yobisi cishe kuyo yonke into oyithengayo.UmHungary-Canadian onentshebe, onezinwele ezimfishane ungumakadebona embonini yokulahla udoti: wasungula isiqalo sakhe sokuqala sokugaywa kabusha njengomfundi ePrinceton, ethengisa umanyolo owenziwe ngezikelemu ngamabhodlela aphinde asetshenziswa.Leyo nkampani, i-TerraCycle, manje isiyisiqhwaga sokugaywa kabusha, futhi isebenza emazweni angama-21.Ngo-2017, iTerraCycle yasebenza neHead & Shoulders ebhodleleni le-shampoo elenziwe ngamapulasitiki olwandle asetshenziswe kabusha.Umkhiqizo wethulwe eNgqungqutheleni Yezomnotho Yomhlaba e-Davos futhi wathandwa ngokushesha.I-Proctor & Gamble, eyenza i-Head & Shoulders, yayizimisele ukwazi ukuthi yini eyayizolandela, ngakho u-Szaky waveza okuthile okufisa kakhulu.
Umphumela uba i-Loop, eyethule izivivinyo e-France nase-US kule ntwasahlobo futhi izofika eBrithani kulobu busika.Ihlinzeka ngemikhiqizo yasendlini eyahlukahlukene - evela kubakhiqizi abahlanganisa i-P&G, i-Unilever, i-Nestlé ne-Coca-Cola - emaphaketheni asebenziseka kabusha.Izinto zitholakala ku-inthanethi noma kubathengisi abakhethekile.Amakhasimende akhokha idiphozi encane, futhi iziqukathi ezisetshenzisiwe zigcina ziqoqwe yi-courier noma zilahlwe esitolo (Walgreens e-US, Tesco e-UK), ziwashwe, futhi zibuyiselwe kumkhiqizi ukuze zigcwaliswe kabusha.“I-Loop akuyona inkampani yomkhiqizo;yinkampani elawula udoti,” kusho uSzaky."Sibheka imfucuza ngaphambi kokuthi iqale."
Imiklamo eminingi ye-Loop ijwayelekile: amabhodlela engilazi agcwalisekayo we-Coca-Cola ne-Tropicana;amabhodlela e-aluminium Pantene.Kodwa ezinye zicatshangelwa kabusha ngokuphelele.“Ngokusuka kokulahlwayo uye kokusebenziseka kabusha, uvula amathuba edizayini amaqhawe,” kusho uSzaky.Isibonelo: I-Unilever isebenza ngamaphilisi okuxubha amazinyo ancibilika abe unama ngaphansi kwamanzi agobhozayo;I-ayisikhilimu ye-Häagen-Dazs iza kubhavu yensimbi engagqwali ehlala ibanda isikhathi eside ngokwanele ukwenza amapikiniki.Ngisho nezinto ezilethwayo zifika esikhwameni esifakwe i-insulated ngokukhethekile, ukuze unciphise amakhadibhodi.
UTina Hill, umkopishi ozinze eParis, ubhalisele i-Loop ngemuva nje kokwethulwa kwayo eFrance.Uthi: “Kulula kakhulu.“Idiphozithi encane, €3 [isitsha ngasinye].Engikuthandayo ngayo ukuthi banezinto engivele ngizisebenzisa: amafutha omnqumo, ama-pods okugeza.”U-Hill uzichaza ngokuthi “uluhlaza cwe: sigaya kabusha noma yini engagaywa kabusha, sithenga izinto eziphilayo”.Ngokuhlanganisa i-Loop nokuthenga ezitolo zasendaweni ezingalahli lutho, u-Hills usize umndeni wakhe wehlisa kakhulu ukuthembela kwawo ekufakweni okukodwa.“Okubi nje wukuthi amanani angaba phezulu kancane.Asinankinga nokuchitha imali ethe xaxa ukuze sisekele izinto okholelwa kuzo, kodwa kwezinye izinto, njenge-pasta, kubi.”
Okuhle kakhulu kumodeli yebhizinisi ye-Loop, uSzaky uthi, ukuthi iphoqa abaklami bokupakisha ukuthi babeke phambili ukuqina kunokulahlwa.Ngokuzayo, u-Szaky ulindele ukuthi i-Loop izokwazi ukuthumelela abasebenzisi i-imeyili izexwayiso ngezinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi nezinye izeluleko zokunciphisa udoti wabo.Imodeli ye-milkman ingaphezu nje kwebhodlela: isenza sicabange ngalokho esikudlayo nesikulahlayo.“Udoti yinto esiyifunayo emehlweni nasemqondweni – ungcolile, mubi, uyanuka,” kusho uSzaky.
Yilokho okudingeka kuguqulwe.Kuyalinga ukubona ipulasitiki inqwabelene ezindaweni zokulahla imfucumfucu yase-Malaysian futhi ucabange ukuthi ukugaywa kabusha kuwukumosha isikhathi, kodwa lokho akulona iqiniso.E-UK, ukwenza kabusha kabusha kuyindaba eyimpumelelo, futhi ezinye izindlela - ukushisa imfucuza yethu noma ukuyigqiba - zimbi kakhulu.Esikhundleni sokuyeka ukugaywa kabusha, u-Szaky uthi, kufanele sonke sisebenzise kancane, siphinde sisebenzise esingakwazi futhi siphathe udoti wethu ngendlela imboni yemfucuza ikubona ngayo: njengensiza.Hhayi isiphetho sento, kodwa ukuqala kokunye.
“Asikubizi ngokumosha;sikubiza ngokuthi yizinto zokwakha,” kusho uSmith wakwaGreen Recycling, emuva eMaldon.Phansi egcekeni, iloli elithuthwayo lilayishwa amabhala angu-35 ekhadibhodi elihlungiwe.Ukusuka lapha, uSmith uzoyithumela emshinini wokugaya e-Kent ukuze igaywe.Kuzoba amakhadibhodi amasha phakathi namasonto amabili - kanye nodoti womunye umuntu maduze nje.
