Ukhathalelo lwempilo lusebenzisa iplastiki eninzi.Ukusuka kwi-shrink-wrap package ukuya kwiityhubhu zokuvavanya, iimveliso ezininzi zonyango zixhomekeke kule nto yemihla ngemihla.
Ngoku kukho ingxaki encinci: Akukho plastiki yaneleyo yokujikeleza.
"Ngokuqinisekileyo sibona ukunqongophala kwiintlobo zamacandelo eplastiki angena kwizixhobo zonyango, kwaye ngumba omkhulu okwangoku," utshilo uRobert Handfield, unjingalwazi wolawulo lwekhonkco lokubonelela kwiKholeji yePoole yoLawulo kwiYunivesithi yaseNorth Carolina State. .
Ibilucelomngeni iminyaka emininzi.Phambi kobhubhane, amaxabiso eeplastiki zezinto ezikrwada ayezinzile, utshilo uHandfield.Emva koko iCovid ikhokelele ekonyukeni kwemfuno yezinto ezenziweyo.Kwaye izaqhwithi ezinamandla ngo-2021 zonakalise ezinye iindawo zokucokisa ioyile zaseMelika ezisekuqaleni kwekhonkco lokubonelela ngeplastiki, ukwehla kwemveliso kunye nokunyuka kwamaxabiso.
Kakade ke, le ngxaki ayiphelelanga nje ekukhathaleni impilo.UPatrick Krieger, usekela mongameli wozinzo kwi-Plastics Industry Association, uthi ixabiso leplastiki liphezulu kwibhodi yonke.
Kodwa inempembelelo yokwenyani ekwenzeni ezinye iimveliso zonyango.I-Baxter International Inc. yenza oomatshini abasetyenziswa zizibhedlele kunye neekhemesti ukuxuba ulwelo olwahlukileyo olungenazintsholongwane kunye.Kodwa elinye icandelo leplastiki koomatshini lalinqongophele, inkampani yathi kwileta ka-Epreli eya kubaboneleli bezempilo.
“Asikwazi ukwenza isixa sethu sesiqhelo kuba asinayo intlaka eyaneleyo,” utshilo uLauren Russ, isithethi sikaBaxter kwinyanga ephelileyo.Iresin yenye yezinto ezisetyenziswa ukwenza iimveliso zeplastiki.“I-Resin ibiyinto ebesisoloko siyijongile kangangeenyanga ezininzi ngoku, kwaye sibona ukuqina kobonelelo kwihlabathi liphela,” utshilo.
Izibhedlele nazo zibeke iliso elibukhali.USteve Pohlman, umlawuli olawulayo wokubonelela ngekliniki kwiKliniki yaseCleveland, uthe ukunqongophala kwe-resin kwakuchaphazela imigca yeemveliso ezininzi ekupheleni kukaJuni, kubandakanywa nokuqokelela igazi, i-laboratory kunye neemveliso zokuphefumula.Ngelo xesha, ukhathalelo lwesigulane aluzange luchaphazeleke.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, imiba yokubonelela ngeplastiki ayikhange ikhokelele kwingxaki epheleleyo (njengokunqongophala kwedayi).Kodwa ngomnye umzekelo ongaphezulu wendlela i-hiccups kwikhonkco lobonelelo lwehlabathi ingaba nefuthe elithe ngqo kukhathalelo lwempilo.-Ike Swetlitz
