Khangela ukujonga ezinye iinkcukacha eziphezulu malunga nokuphinda kwiplastiki:
Iinkalo zendalo
- Kuthatha iminyaka engama-500 ukucola izinto zeplastiki kwiifom
- Ngokutsho kwe-EPA, i-9,5% yezinto eziplastiki ezenziwe kwi-US Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) yasetyenziswa kwakhona ngonyaka ka-2014. Enye i-15% yaxhatshazwa ngamandla, ngelixa i-75.5% yathunyelwa kwiifom. Inani elizaliswe ngumhlaba libe li-18.5% ngokulingana kwe-MSW ezaliswe.
- Ipesenti yenkunkuma yeplastiki kwimichiza emzimbeni kamasipala e-US inyuke kwi-12 ekhulwini ngo-2008 ukusuka ngaphantsi kwe-1 ekhulwini ngowama-1960. Ngo-2008, inani elipheleleyo lemfucuza ye-plastiki e-US yayingama-million ezigidi ezingama-30, kuquka nezigidi ezili-13 zeetoni zokupakishwa kweplastiki, kunye neenqwelo, izigidi ezili-11 zeemveliso zeplastiki ezihlalayo kunye neetoni ezi-6 ezizigidi ezibekwe njengezinto ze-plastiki ezingapheliyo.
- Isilinganiso sokuphinda siphinde senziwe ngezinto ezahlukeneyo zeplastiki ezifana neengxowa zeplastiki, iibhotile zincinci. Ngokutsho kweengxelo ze-EPA, i-2.1 million yeetoni zeplastiki zatshintshwa kwakhona ngo-2008. Eli nani lilingana nama-6.8 ekhulwini yenkunkuma yeplastiki eyenziwa e-US ngaloo nyaka. Kodwa ukubuyiswa kweebhodlela zokuphuza i-PET ngo-2008 kwakukho iipesenti ezingama-37 ezibhetele ngakumbi kunezinye iiplastiki. Ngo-2008, iipesenti ezingama-13.3 kuphela zokupakisha iplastiki zaphindiswa kwakhona. Kwaye ngoku, iipesenti ezingama-27 zeebhotile zeplastiki zenziwa kwakhona.
- Kunyaka ngamnye, ama-102.1 amabhanksi eplastiki asetyenziswa ngabantu baseMerika.
- Unyaka ngamnye, ii-2.4 yezigidi zeetayitile zePET eplastiki ezilahlwe e-US kunye neepesenti ezingama-26 ukuya kwi-41 ekhulwini zeli bhotile zamanzi.
- Umbutho weSizwe we-PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) uthi, ngo-2011, kukho iiplani ezingama-5,478 zeepET zeebhotile kunye neebhotile ezifumanekayo zokubuyiswa kwakhona, kodwa i-29 ekhulwini kuphela ephindwa kwakhona. Ngokwe-NAPCOR ingxelo, ngo-2011, ii-242 yezigidi zamapounds e- PET asetshenzisiweyo zisetyenziselwa ukuvelisa izitya zokutya neziselo.
- Kunyaka ngamnye, malunga neerandi ezingama-25 zeedola zichitha kwilizwe laseCalifornia ukulahla inkunkuma yeplastiki kwiifom.
Iinkcukacha zePlastiki ye-Ocean
- Enye yezinto ezilishumi ezifunyenwe kwi-International Coastal Cleanup ngo-2009 yayiyikhwama yeplastiki. Kwaye oku kwenza izikhwama zeplastiki yinto yesibini eqhelekileyo yintengiso yenkunkuma efunyenwe kuluhlu lwamanxweme.
- Iimitha ezili-8 zezigidi zamatriki zeeplastiki ziphela kumaziko ehlabathi ngonyaka, ngokutsho kwiphando lika-2015 ukusuka ku-UC Santa Barbara.
- Inkunkuma yeplastiki ephoswa ngaphandle kolwandle unyaka wonke inokubulala abaninzi njengezilwanyana zaselwandle.
- Ngokuhamba kwexesha, iplastiki iyahlahla zibe ziincinci ezincinci ezibizwa ngokuba yi-micro-plastics, ezitholakala kwiindawo ezinxweme emhlabeni jikelele.
- Ngokutsho kwe-Ellen MacArthur Foundation, kuya kuba neplastiki ngaphezulu kwintlanzi ngo-2050, ngelixa abaphandi bakholelwa ukuba inani leplastiki ye-ocean liza kuba likhulu ngaphezulu kwe-2020.
- I-Plos One, i-journalist yezenzululwazi, iqikelela ukuba iiplastiki eziyi-5 trillion, ezilingana neetrikriyoni ezingama-250 000, zihlala ezilwandle.
Ukusetyenziswa kwakhona kweengxelo zoqoqosho
Phakathi ko-2004 no-2014, ukuveliswa kweeplastiki zomhlaba wonke kwande ukusuka kwizigidi ezingama-225 ukuya kuma-311 yezigidi zeetoni.
Ngokutsho kwe-PlasticsEurope, iirhulini ezingama-7.7 zeeplastiki zaphinda zaphinda ziphinda ziphinda ziphinde zenziwe emhlabeni wonke ngo-2013, kubandakanywa amathani angama-3.5 yezigidi ze-post-industrial and post-consumer users scrap.in e-US, ngokutsho kwe-ISRI.
- Ngo-2013, i-ISRI ilinganisela ukuba iiplani eziyi-3.5 yezigidi zeplastiki zeplastiki kunye nezokuthunyelwa kweposi zenziwa kwakhona kwi-US
- Isilinganiso sokubuyisela kwakhona iibhotile ze-plastiki e-United States safikelela kuma-31,0 ekhulwini ngo-2014, sancipha kancane ukusuka kwi-31.2 ekhulwini ngo-2013.
- Kuphela ipesenteji ezincinci zeebhotile ezenziwe ngokutsha zisetyenziselwa ukwenza iibhotile ezintsha. Imithombo yeCoca-Cola kuphela i-7% yeplastiki kwizinto eziphinda zenziwe kwakhona, ngelixa i-Nestle Waters yaseMntla yaseMerika isebenzisa u-6% kuphela oqhagamshelana naye.
Ngokwezibalo ezivela kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo ze-Comtrade Database, ngaphezulu kweetoni ezili-13.6 zezigidi zeeplastiki ezixabisekileyo malunga nama-$ 5.4 yezigidigidi zithunyelwa ngamazwe onke okunika ingxelo ngo-2015. (Umthombo: ISRI).
Kwakhona ngo-2015, abathengisi baseMelika bathumela ngaphezu kweyimizi yezigidi ezi-2 zeeplastiki, ezixabiswa kwii-810 yezigidi.
- Ngokwe-American Chemistry Council, okwangoku, ngaphezulu kwama-80 ekhulwini ama-America anokufikelela kwiiprogram ezahlukeneyo zokubuyisela iiplastiki.
- Imibutho engama-1,600 e-US ibandakanyeka ekuhlaziyeni kwakhona izinto eziplastiki zabathengi.
- Ibiza malunga ne-4,000 zamaRandi ukubuyisela iitoni enye yeeplastiki. Kodwa intengo yokuthengisa yezi ngxowa ziphindwe kabini ngaphezu kweendleko.
- Amawaka angama-1,000-2,000 we-petroli angagcinwa ngokubuyiswa kwakhona kwetoni enye yeeplastiki.
- Ukuvelisa iimveliso zeplastiki kwiiplastiki ezenziwe ngokutsha ziyanciphisa iimfuno zamandla ngama-66 ekhulwini.
- Ekubeni iipiliyoni ezingama-2,000 zeoli, ubuninzi bamanzi asetyenziswa ngumntu oyedwa kwinyanga ezimbini kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamandla emibini kunyaka omnye kunokugcinwa ngokuphindaphinda iitani enye yeeplastiki.
