Iqembu lezinhlangano ezimele uchungechunge lwenani lokupakisha oluguquguqukayo lwaseYurophu linxuse abenzi bomthetho ukuthi bakhe uhlaka lokuphinda lusetshenziswe oluqaphela izinselele namathuba ahlukile okupakisha okuguquguqukayo.
Iphepha lesimo semboni elisayinwe ngokuhlanganyela yi-European Flexible Packaging, i-CEFLEX, i-CAOBISCO, i-ELIPSO, i-European Aluminium Foil Association, i-European Snacks Association, i-GIFLEX, i-NRK Verpakkingen kanye nemboni yokudla kwezilwane ezifuywayo yaseYurophu libeka phambili "incazelo eqhubekayo nebheke phambili" uma imboni yokupakisha ifuna ukwakha umjikelezo Intuthuko yezomnotho yenziwe futhi ukuphinde kusetshenziswe ukupakisha kubaluleke kakhulu.
Ephepheni, lezi zinhlangano zithi okungenani ingxenye yokupakisha ukudla okuyinhloko emakethe ye-EU iqukethe ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo, kodwa ngokusho kwemibiko, ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo kubhekisela kuphela kwengxenye yesithupha yezinto zokupakisha ezisetshenziswayo. Le nhlangano ithe lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo kufaneleka kakhulu ekuvikeleni imikhiqizo ngezinto ezincane (ikakhulukazi ipulasitiki, i-aluminium noma iphepha) noma inhlanganisela yalezi zinto ukuthuthukisa izakhiwo zokuvikela zezinto ngayinye.
Kodwa-ke, lezi zinhlangano ziyavuma ukuthi lo msebenzi wokupakisha okuguquguqukayo wenza ukuphinda kusetshenziswe kube nzima kakhulu kunokupakisha okuqinile. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi cishe yi-17% kuphela yokupakisha okuguquguqukayo kwepulasitiki okuphinda kusetshenziswe kube izinto ezintsha zokusetshenziswa.
Njengoba i-European Union iqhubeka nokukhipha i-Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD) kanye ne-Circular Economy Action Plan (inhlangano iveza ukusekela okugcwele izinhlelo zombili), izinhloso ezifana nomkhawulo wokuphinda usebenzise kabusha ongaba ngu-95% zingase zibhebhethekise le nselele. Uchungechunge lwenani lokupakisha oluguquguqukayo.
UMqondisi Ophethe we-CEFLEX uGraham Houlder uchaze engxoxweni ne-Packaging Europe ngoJulayi ukuthi umgomo ongu-95% “uzokwenza ukuthi iningi [lokupakisha okuncane okuguquguqukayo kwabathengi] lingaphinde lisetshenziswe ngokwencazelo kunokuba kube umkhuba.” Lokhu kugcizelelwe yinhlangano ephepheni lesikhundla sakamuva, elisho ukuthi ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo akunakufinyelela umgomo onjalo ngoba izingxenye ezidingekayo emsebenzini wayo, njengoyinki, ungqimba lwesithiyo kanye ne-glue, zingaphezu kuka-5% weyunithi yokupakisha.
Lezi zinhlangano zigcizelela ukuthi ukuhlolwa komjikelezo wokuphila kubonisa ukuthi umthelela jikelele wemvelo wokupakisha okuguquguqukayo uphansi, okuhlanganisa ne-carbon footprint. Ixwayise ngokuthi ngaphezu kokulimaza izakhiwo zokusebenza zokupakisha okuguquguqukayo, izinhloso ezingaba khona ze-PPWD zingase zinciphise ukusebenza kahle kanye nezinzuzo zemvelo zezinto zokusetshenziswa ezinikezwa njengamanje ngokupakisha okuguquguqukayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, inhlangano ithe ingqalasizinda ekhona yasungulwa ngaphambi kokusetshenziswa kabusha okuphoqelekile kokupakisha okuncane okuguquguqukayo, lapho ukuphinda kusetshenziswe amandla kubhekwa njengendlela ehlukile esemthethweni. Njengamanje, inhlangano ithe ingqalasizinda ayikakulungeli ukuphinda kusetshenziswe ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo ngamandla alindelekile esinyathelo se-EU. Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, i-CEFLEX yakhipha isitatimende esithi amaqembu ahlukene adinga ukubambisana ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ingqalasizinda ikhona ukuze kuvunyelwe ukuqoqwa komuntu ngamunye kokupakisha okuguquguqukayo.
Ngakho-ke, ephepheni lesikhundla, lezi zinhlangano zibize ukubuyekezwa kwe-PPWD “njengesivikelo senqubomgomo” ukukhuthaza ukwakheka kokupakisha okusha, ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda kanye nezinyathelo zomthetho eziphelele zokuqhubekela phambili.
Ngokuphathelene nencazelo yokusetshenziswa kabusha kwezinto, iqembu lanezela ukuthi kubalulekile ukuphakamisa ukwakhiwa kabusha kwesakhiwo sezinto ezisetshenziswayo ngokuhambisana nesakhiwo esikhona, ngenkathi kwandiswa amandla kanye nobuchwepheshe obusetshenziswa engqalasizinda yokuphathwa kwemfucuza. Isibonelo, ephepheni, ukuvuselelwa kwamakhemikhali kubhalwe njengendlela yokuvimbela "ukuvalelwa kobuchwepheshe bokuphathwa kwemfucuza obukhona."
Njengengxenye yephrojekthi ye-CEFLEX, kuthuthukiswe iziqondiso ezithile zokuphinde kusetshenziswe ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo. I-Design for Circular Economy (D4ACE) ihlose ukwengeza iziqondiso ze-Design for Recycling (DfR) ezisunguliwe zokupakisha okuqinile nokukhulu okuguquguqukayo. Umhlahlandlela ugxile ekupakisheni okuguquguqukayo okusekelwe ku-polyolefin futhi uhlose amaqembu ahlukahlukene ochungechungeni lwenani lokupakisha, okuhlanganisa abanikazi bomkhiqizo, abaprosesa, abakhiqizi, kanye nezinhlangano zezinsizakalo zokuphatha imfucuza, ukuklama uhlaka lokuphinda kusetshenziswe ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo.
Iphepha lesikhundla lifuna i-PPWD ibhekisele eziqondisweni ze-D4ACE, ethi zizosiza ukulungisa uchungechunge lwenani ukuze kufezwe isisindo esibalulekile esidingekayo ukwandisa izinga lokubuyiselwa kwemfucuza yokupakisha eguquguqukayo.
Lezi zinhlangano zengeze ngokuthi uma i-PPWD inquma incazelo ejwayelekile yokupakisha okungasetshenziswa kabusha, kuzodinga amazinga angafinyelelwa yizo zonke izinhlobo zokupakisha nezinto zokwakha ukuze kusebenze kahle. Isiphetho sayo ukuthi umthetho wesikhathi esizayo kufanele futhi usize ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo kufinyelele emandleni akho ngokufeza amazinga aphezulu okubuyisa kanye nokuvuselela ngokuphelele, kunokushintsha inani lakhona elikhona njengefomu lokupakisha.
