Ziyintoni Iimpawu ZokubaSebenzayo?

by URick LeBlanc

Mhlawumbi uye waqaphela izimpawu kunye neenombolo ezahlukeneyo kwiibhotile zeeplastiki kunye neebhotile, kodwa zithini na ezo zibonakaliso zokubuyisela ? Ezinye iiplastiki zikhuselekileyo kunabanye, kwaye ukuba unengqiqo efanelekileyo yeempawu eziqhelekileyo zokubuyisela kwakhona, unokukwazi ukulungiselela ukulungelelanisa ukulungelelanisa nokusingqongileyo.

Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo zokubuyisela kwakhona kwiiComputer

Kukho amanani asixhenxe ahlukeneyo atholakala ngaphakathi kwinqangquthela kwiibhotile zeplastiki kunye neebhotile. Ezi zimboli zadalwa ngo-1988 ngokubambisana neRipin Identification Code okanye i-RIC ekuncediseni ukuvuselelwa kweplastiki ngokusebenzisa ukwahlula okungcono kwezinto. Zonke ezi mqondiso zinikela ngolwazi malunga neekhemikhali eziyingozi ekusebenziseni iiplastiki, ukhuseleko lweplastiki, indlela ye-plastiki eyakhiwa ngayo i-biodegradable, kwaye mhlawumbi iiplastiki zibangelwa njani ukuhamba. Nantsi inkcazo emfutshane nganye yeempawu zokubuyisela:

01 - I-Polyethylene iTerephthalate (iPETE okanye iPET)

I "1" ngaphakathi kwintantathu inbhotile yeplastiki ibonisa i-PETE okanye i-PET eyi-Polyethylene iTerephthalate. Lo mfuziselo uvame ukufunyanwa kwiziphuzo ezinxilisayo, ubhiya kunye neebhotile zamanzi, iitroyi zokutya, i-salad yokugqoka kunye nezitya zeoli, izikhumba zebhotela kunye neebhotile.

Njengoko kulula ukuyilungisa, ilula kwaye ayithengi, i-PET isetyenziselwa ukuvelisa iibhotile zokusela zodwa.

Ezi bhotile zivame ukutyunjwa kwiiprogram ze-curbside zokubuyisela kwakhona kwiindawo ezininzi kumazwe. Iibhotile ze-PET zinokuphinda zenziwe kwakhona kwiibhotile ezintsha, iintambo, ukugubungela, itekiti, ifenitshala, iibhokhwe, i-fiber kunye ne-polar.

Ngokuqhelekileyo kubonwa njengokukhuselekile njengoko kubangela umngcipheko omncinci wokubambisa. Kodwa ivumela amagciwane ukuba aqokelele. Nangona kukho imfuno ephezulu ye- PET esele ibuyele kwakhona isantya sokubuyisela kwakhona i-20% kuphela.

02 - I-Polyethylene ephezulu (i-HDPE)

I-"2" ngaphakathi kwantantathu inomxholo wephepha eplastiki uphawu oluphezulu lwePolyethylene okanye i-HDPE yenye yezinto ezintathu zeeplastiki ezibhekwa zikhuselekile ngenxa yengozi ephantsi yokuvuza.

Njengoko i-HDPE inokuphinda isetyenziswe kwakhona kwiindawo zokuhlamba zokuhlamba iimpahla, iiplanga, iibhobho zokuhambisa amanzi, ipenki, iibhotile zeoli, ucingo, iitafile zepikiniki, iindawo zokuhlala, iibhentshi, iileyile, kunye nezixhobo zokubuyisela kwakhona. Yimpahla eyamkelekileyo kwiinkqubo ezininzi zokubuyisela i-curbside.

Unokufumana i-HDPE kwiibhokhwe zobisi, iibhotile ze-shampoo, iibhokisi zebhotile, ibhotela kunye ne-yogurt, iibhotile ze-oyile, iimpahla zokuthenga kunye neebhasi, kunye neebhotile ezihlambulukileyo zendlu.

03 - iVinyl (V okanye iPVC)

"I-3" ngaphakathi kwantathulwano kwiimpawu zeplastiki zineV okanye i-PVC eneVinyl.

I-Vinyl ayidla ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwakhona kwaye ayifumanwanga nayiphi na inkqubo ye-curbside. Ungayifumana kwiifestile zokucoca iifestile kunye neebhodlela zokuhlutha, ukubhobhoza, ukupakisha, izixhobo zonyango, ukufaka i-wire, ipakethe yokutya ecacileyo, iibhotile zokupheka zeoli kunye neebhotile ze-shampoo.

Ukusuka kwiingxaki ezahlukeneyo zophuhliso ukuya kumathambo, iV ingaba nezizathu zemicimbi eyahlukeneyo yempilo njengoko iqukethe i-phthalates. Iqulethe i-DEHA enokuthi ibe sisisombululo seengxaki zesibindi kunye nokulahlekelwa kwethambo lomzimba. Ngenxa yezi zizathu, musa ukutshisa okanye ukupheka ngale hlobo lweplastiki.

Ipesenteji encinci yePVC iphinda iphindwe kwiimitha, i-speed bumps, iimbambo, i-flooring, i-gutters road, i-mud flaps, i-paneling, kunye neentsimbi.

I-Polyethylene (i-LDPE) ye-Low-Density

"I-4" ngaphakathi kwintantathu engxenyeni yeplastiki ibonisa i-LDPE, i-Polyethylene engaphantsi kwe-Polyethylene, engasoloko iphinda iphinde isetshenziswe kwiinkqubo zokubuyisela i-curbside. Abanye abantu basekuhlaleni, ke, bayamkela. Kucingwa njengendlela ekhuselekileyo yeplastiki.

I-LDPE ifumaneka kwiibhaski zokuthenga, iibhotile ezinokubonakalayo, i-carpet, ifenitshala, iimpahla, iibhegi, iifake zokucoca, kunye neengxowa zokutya eziqingqiweyo.

Nangona kungenakuphinda kusetshenziswe kwakhona, iyakwenziwa kwakhona kwi-tile yomgangatho, izibophelelo zokubamba umhlaba, iiplanga, kunye ne-paneling, i-envelopes zokuthumela, i-compost bins kunye ne-trash.

05 - Polypropylene (PP)

"I-5" ngaphakathi kwintantathu engxenyeni yeplastiki ithetha iPP okanye i- Polypropylene enye yeyona ndlela ikhuselekileyo yeeplastiki. Kuya kwandula ukwamkeleka kwiiprogram zokubuyisela kwakhona.

I-PP iqheleke kwiibhotile zonyango, iintambo, iibhotile, iibhotile ze-ketchup, iibhotile zesiraphu kunye nezinye izitya ze-yogurt. Ezi bhotile okanye ii-container ziyakwenziwa kwakhona kwiitrayi, iipllets, iibins, i-rakes, iinqwelo zebhayisiki, imida ye-landscape, i-ice scrapers, iimeko zebhethri ze-auto, iibrashi, imilenze, iintambo zebhethri kunye nezibane zomqondiso.

I-PP isoloko ikhethiweyo kwiibhotile kunye neebhotile ezifunekayo zamkele i-liquid ashisayo njengoko inombono ophezulu.

06 - I-Polystyrene (PS)

"6" ngaphakathi kwintantathu kwiphotile yeplastiki okanye inkonkxa ibonisa iStrofoam okanye i-Polystyrene, ngokuqhelekileyo ibonwa njengento enzima ukubuyisela kwakhona , ngenxa yobunzima bayo. Ngako oko kudlalwa njengento embi kwimeko yethu kwaye iye yaxhomekeka kwimimiselo yendawo.

Unokufumana i-PS kwiikomityi kunye neeplati ezilahlayo, iimeko ze-compact disc, iibastile ze-aspirin, izitya zokukhupha, iibhokisi zeqanda kunye neetayiti zenyama.

Uninzi lweenkqubo zokubuyisela i-curbside aziwamukeli i-PS, kodwa inokuphinda iphinde iphinde iphinde isetyenziswe kwizikhumba zokukhupha, ukupakisha imiphunga, abalawuli, iikhokoni zeeqanda, indawo yokukhanyisa kunye nokugxininisa.

07 - Iiplastiki ezahlukeneyo

Nayiphina iiplastiki ezingayi ngaphantsi kweentlobo ezithandathu zingentla zi ne "7" enxantathu kuyo. Enyanisweni, ibhegi edibeneyo yezinto zeeplastiki ezahlukeneyo eziquka i-polycarbonate. Iqukethe i-BPA enetyhefu ebizwa yi-bisphenol-A. Olu hlobo lweplastiki lunobungozi kwimpilo yethu njengoko lunokubangela iingxaki zokuzala, ukuxhatshazeka, ukungabikho komzimba kunye nezinye iziphazamiso ze-hormone.

Nangona phantse iprogram ye-curbside yokuvuselela iyakwamukela le nto, iyakwenziwa kwakhona kwimveliso ethile eyenziwe ngokwesiko, kunye neeplastiki.

Iplastiki 7 iqhelekileyo ifunyenwe kwiloni, izixhobo ezithile zokutya, iimpawu kunye neziboniso, ii-iPod kunye neekhomputer, ii-DVD, izibuko zelanga, izixhobo ze-bulletproof, kunye neebhotile zamanzi ezintathu nantlanu.

08 - How2Recycle

Ukungahambelani phakathi kweenkqubo zokuvuselela, ukubhalwa ngokubhaliweyo ngokucacileyo, kunye nokuchaneka kwamatyala angaphinda abuyele kwindlela yokusebenza. Ngokuphambene nempawu ezisetyenzisiweyo zokubuyisela iplastiki echazwe ngasentla, inkqubo yeleyile ye-How2Recycle yenziwe ngo-2008 yi-Integrated Packaging Coalition ukubonelela ngolwazi oluchanekileyo nolungqinelweyo lokubuyisela i-package kubasebenzisi. Ngolunye ulwazi, tyelela http://how2recycle.info/

Iimpawu zibalulekile ekuSebenziseni nokuSebenza.

Iiplastiki ziyingxenye yobomi bethu bemihla ngemihla. Ngelixa singenakukuphepha zonke iiplastiki, ngokuqinisekileyo singakuphepha kwaye sinciphise ukusetyenziswa kweentlobo ezithile kwiindawo zethu zokuhlala. Ngokomzekelo, sifanele sicinge ngokutshala imali kwiglasi okanye nayiphi na inkqubo yokucoca amanzi ephakamileyo kunokuba kuthengwe iibhotile zamanzi eplastiki. Ngaphandle kwenkalo yezempilo, ukusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo kweempawu kunokunceda ekuhlukaneni izinto kunye nemigudu yokuvuselela.
