Inganda zikoreshwa mu mifuka ya pulasitike ku ya 30 Mutarama zagaragaje ubushake ku bushake bwo kongera ibicuruzwa bitunganyirizwa mu mifuka y’ubucuruzi bigurishwa kugera kuri 20 ku ijana mu 2025 mu rwego rwo kurushaho kuramba.

Muri iyi gahunda, itsinda ry’ubucuruzi rikuru ry’ubucuruzi muri Amerika ryongeye kwisubiraho nk’Abanyamerika ba Recyclable Plastic Bag Alliance kandi rikaba ririmo kongera inkunga mu burezi bw’umuguzi no gushyiraho intego ko 95% by’imifuka y’ubucuruzi ya pulasitike izongera gukoreshwa cyangwa gukoreshwa mu 2025.

Ubukangurambaga buje mu gihe abakora imifuka ya pulasitike bahuye n’igitutu cya politiki - umubare w’ibihugu bibujijwe cyangwa bibujijwe imifuka yashizwemo umwaka ushize kuva bibiri muri Mutarama kugeza umunani igihe umwaka urangiye.

Abashinzwe inganda bavuze ko gahunda yabo atari igisubizo kiziguye ku bibujijwe na Leta, ariko bakemera ibibazo rusange bibasaba gukora byinshi.

Umuyobozi mukuru wa ARPBA, wahoze uzwi ku izina rya American Progressive Bag Alliance, Matt Seaholm yagize ati: "Iki ni ikiganiro kimaze igihe gito kiganirwaho binyuze mu nganda kugira ngo dushyireho intego zimwe na zimwe zifuzwa mu gutunganya ibintu."Ati: “Uyu ni we dushyira imbere ikirenge cyiza.Urabizi, inshuro nyinshi abantu bazabona ikibazo, 'Nibyo, abasore mukora iki nk'inganda?' ”

Imihigo yatanzwe na ARPBA ikorera i Washington ikubiyemo kwiyongera gahoro gahoro guhera ku 10 ku ijana byongeye gukoreshwa mu 2021 no kuzamuka kugera kuri 15 ku ijana mu 2023. Seaholm atekereza ko inganda zizarenga izo ntego.

Seaholm yagize ati: "Ndatekereza ko ari byiza gutekereza, cyane cyane ku mbaraga zikomeje gukorwa n'abacuruzi basaba ko ibicuruzwa bitunganyirizwa mu mifuka, ntekereza ko bishoboka ko tuzatsinda iyi mibare."Ati: “Twari tumaze kugirana ibiganiro n'abacuruzi bakunda cyane ibi, bikunda rwose igitekerezo cyo kuzamura ibicuruzwa bitunganyirizwa mu mifuka yabo mu rwego rwo kwiyemeza kuramba.”

Urwego rwibicuruzwa byongeye gukoreshwa birasa neza neza nkuko byahamagawe mu mpeshyi ishize nitsinda Recycle More Bags, ihuriro rya guverinoma, ibigo n’amatsinda y’ibidukikije.

Iri tsinda ariko ryifuzaga ko urwego rwashyizweho na guverinoma, ruvuga ko kwiyemeza ku bushake ari “bidashoboka ko habaho impinduka nyayo.”

 

Seaholm yavuze ko abakora imifuka ya pulasitike barwanya kugira ibyo biyemeje mu mategeko, ariko akagaragaza ko hari ibintu byoroshye niba guverinoma ishaka ko ibintu byakoreshwa neza.

Seaholm yagize ati: "Niba leta ifashe umwanzuro ko ishaka gusaba ibice 10 ku ijana byongeye gukoreshwa cyangwa se 20 ku ijana byongeye gukoreshwa, ntabwo bizaba ari ibintu turwana."

“Niba leta ishaka kubikora, twishimiye kugira icyo kiganiro… kuko gikora ikintu kimwe tuvuga cyo gukora hano, kandi ibyo bikaba biteza imbere ikoreshwa ry'ibirimo.Kandi ibyo ni igice kinini mu byo twiyemeje, kuzamura amasoko ya nyuma ”.

Urwego rwa 20 ku ijana rwongeye gutunganyirizwa mu mifuka ya pulasitike nabwo ni rwo rusabwa mu guhagarika imifuka y’icyitegererezo cyangwa amategeko y’amafaranga y’itsinda ry’ibidukikije Surfrider Foundation mu gitabo cyateguye abarwanashyaka, nk'uko byatangajwe na Jennie Romer, umufatanyabikorwa mu by'amategeko muri Fondasiyo ya Plastic Pollution Initiative.

Romer yavuze ko Surfrider isaba ko hashyirwaho ibisigazwa by’umuguzi nyuma y’imifuka, nkuko Californiya yabigenje mu itegeko ry’imifuka ya pulasitike yo mu 2016 yashyizeho urwego rwa 20% rw’ibicuruzwa bitunganyirizwa mu mifuka ya pulasitike byemewe n'amategeko.Ibyo byazamutse kugera kuri 40 ku ijana byongeye gukoreshwa muri uyu mwaka muri Californiya.

Seaholm yavuze ko gahunda ya ARPBA idasobanura neza gukoresha plastiki nyuma y’abaguzi, avuga ko plastiki nyuma y’inganda nayo ari nziza.Ati kandi ntabwo byanze bikunze gahunda itunganyirizwa mu mufuka ku mufuka - ibisigazwa by’ibicuruzwa bishobora guturuka mu zindi filime nka pallet irambuye.

Ati: "Ntabwo tubona itandukaniro rinini waba ufata abaguzi cyangwa nyuma y’inganda.Uko byagenda kose, urinda ibintu mu myanda. ”Seaholm.“Icyo ni cyo cy'ingenzi cyane.”

Yavuze ko kuri ubu ibikoreshwa mu gutunganya ibikapu bya pulasitike bitarenze 10 ku ijana.

Seaholm yavuze ko kugira ngo ibice 20 ku ijana bisubirwemo ibikenerwa mu kongera umusaruro, birashoboka ko igipimo cyo gutunganya imifuka ya pulasitike yo muri Amerika kigomba kwiyongera.

Imibare y’ikigo cy’Amerika gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije ivuga ko 12,7 ku ijana y’imifuka ya pulasitike, imifuka n’ibipfunyika byongeye gukoreshwa mu 2016, imibare y’umwaka ushize iraboneka.

Ati: "Kugira ngo tugere ku mubare wa nyuma, kugira ngo tugere kuri 20 ku ijana by'ibicuruzwa bitunganyirizwa mu gihugu hose, yego, dukeneye gukora akazi keza muri gahunda yo kugarura amaduka, kandi amaherezo, niba umuhanda uza ku rubuga".“Ibyo ari byo byose, [dukeneye kuba] dukusanya filimi nyinshi ya plastike polyethylene kugira ngo tuyikoreshe.”

Hariho ingorane, naho.Urugero, raporo yo muri Nyakanga yaturutse mu kanama gashinzwe ubutunzi muri Amerika, yagaragaje ko igabanuka rikabije rya 20% mu gutunganya filimi ya pulasitike mu 2017, mu gihe Ubushinwa bwakomeje gukumira ibicuruzwa bitumizwa mu mahanga.

Seaholm yavuze ko inganda z’imifuka zidashaka ko igipimo cy’ibicuruzwa cyagabanuka, ariko yemeza ko bitoroshye kuko gutunganya imifuka biterwa cyane n’abaguzi bafata imifuka kugira ngo babike aho bava.Porogaramu nyinshi za curbside zisubiramo ntabwo zemera imifuka kuko zomeka imashini ahantu hatondekanya, nubwo hariho gahunda yicyitegererezo yo kugerageza gukemura icyo kibazo.

Gahunda ya ARPBA ikubiyemo uburezi bw’umuguzi, imbaraga zo kongera gahunda yo kugarura ibicuruzwa no kwiyemeza gukorana n’abacuruzi gushyiramo imvugo isobanutse ku baguzi ku bijyanye n’imifuka igomba gutunganywa.

Seaholm yavuze ko afite impungenge z'uko ikwirakwizwa ry’imifuka muri leta nka New York rishobora kwangiza ibicuruzwa mu gihe amaduka aretse gutanga ahantu hamanuka, maze atoranya itegeko rishya muri Vermont ritangira uyu mwaka.

Ati: "Urugero, muri Vermont, hamwe n'ibyo amategeko yabo akora, sinzi niba amaduka azakomeza kugira gahunda yo kugarura ibicuruzwa".Ati: "Igihe icyo ari cyo cyose uhagarika ibicuruzwa, ukuraho uwo mugezi wo gutunganya."

Icyakora, yagaragaje icyizere ko inganda zizuzuza ibyo ziyemeje.

Ati: “Tugiye kwiyemeza;tuzashaka uburyo bwo kubikora, ”Seaholm.Ati: “Turacyatekereza, tuvuze ko kimwe cya kabiri cy'igihugu kidahita gifata icyemezo cyo guhagarika imifuka ya pulasitike nk'uko Vermont yabigenje, tuzashobora gutsinda iyi mibare.”

Gahunda ya ARPBA nayo ishyiraho intego ko 95 ku ijana by'imifuka izongera gukoreshwa cyangwa gukoreshwa mu 2025. Iragereranya ko 90 ku ijana by'imifuka ya pulasitike kuri ubu ikoreshwa cyangwa ikoreshwa.

Ishingiye kuri iyo mibare ku mibare ibiri: igipimo cya EPA cya 12-13 ku ijana cyo gutunganya imifuka, hamwe n’ikigereranyo cyakozwe n’ubuyobozi bw’intara ya Quebec bwerekana ko 77-78 ku ijana by’imifuka yo guhaha ya pulasitike bikoreshwa, akenshi nk’imyanda ishobora guterwa.

Seaholm yavuze ko kubona 90 ku ijana byo gutandukanya imifuka kugeza kuri 95 ku ijana bishobora kugorana.

Ati: "Iyi ni intego itazaba yoroshye kuyigeraho kuko bisaba kugura umuguzi".Ati: “Uburezi bugiye kuba ingenzi.Tugomba gukomeza gusunika kugira ngo abantu bumve ko bagarura imifuka yabo mu iduka. ”

Abashinzwe inganda babona gahunda yabo ari icyemezo gikomeye.Umuyobozi wa ARPBA, Gary Alstott, akaba n'umuyobozi mukuru mu ruganda rukora imifuka Novolex, yavuze ko inganda zashoramari cyane mu kubaka ibikorwa remezo byo gutunganya imifuka ya pulasitike.

Mu magambo ye yagize ati: "Ubu abanyamuryango bacu batunganya miliyoni amagana z'amapound y'amashashi na firime ya pulasitike buri mwaka, kandi buri wese muri twe arimo akora izindi mbaraga nyinshi mu guteza imbere imifuka irambye".
