Ungcoliseko lweplastiki lubeka isoyikiso esibalulekileyo kwindalo esingqongileyo, ngaphezulu kwe-9 bhiliyoni yeetoni zeplastiki ezivelisiweyo ukusukela kwiminyaka yoo-1950, kunye ne-83 yezigidi zeetoni zethu eziziilwandlekazi ngonyaka. Ngaphandle kweenzame zehlabathi, yi-9% kuphela yeplastiki iphinda isebenze, ishiya uninzi lokungcolisa i-ecosystem yethu okanye i-linger yomhlaba kwiinkulungwane.
Omnye wabanika abanegalelo kule ngxaki kukuxhaphake kwezinto zeplastiki enye njengeengxowa zeplastiki. Ezi zingxowa, zisetyenziselwa umndilili wemizuzu nje eli-12, ziphembelela ukuthembela kwethu kwindiza. Inkqubo yabo yokungalunganga inokuthatha iminyaka engama-500, ukhulule i-microplastics eyenzakalisayo kwindalo.
Nangona kunjalo, phakathi kwezi mngeni, iiplasitiki ezinokutsha zinika isisombululo esithembisayo. Yenziwe ngeepesenti ezingama-20 okanye ngaphezulu kwezinto ezihlaziyiweyo, i-bio-plastics ibonelela ngamathuba okunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kwethu kwifosili yefosili kunye nokunciphisa i-carbon ye-carbon. I-Pla, ethathwe kwimithombo yezityalo efana nesitatshi sengqolowa, kunye ne-pha, iveliswa ziimpawu ezincinci, ziintlobo ezimbini eziphambili ze-biostics ezinezinto ezixhaphakileyo.
Ngelixa iPlasticadics eSebenzayo enokusondeza enye indlela enobuhlobo, kubalulekile ukuqwalasela iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zazo. Ukuqhubekiswa kweekhemikhali kunye neendlela zezolimo ezinxulumene nemveliso ye-biphality kunokubangela ukungcoliseka kunye nemicimbi yokusetyenziswa komhlaba. Ukongeza, iziseko ezichanekileyo zokulahla inkunkuma zihlala zinqongophele, zibonisa isidingo sobuchule bokulawulwa kwenkunkuma.
Kwelinye icala, iiplasitiki ezinokuphinda zisebenzise kwakhona zibonelela ngesisombululo esinyanzelekileyo ngokusebenza kakuhle. Ngokukhuthaza ukuphinda usebenzise kwakhona kwaye utyalomali kwiziseko zophuhliso ukuze uyixhase, singaphambukisa inkunkuma yeplastiki ukusuka kulawulo lomhlaba kwaye linciphise ifuthe lethu. Ngelixa i-biodegrady the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the pha uqoqosho, apho izixhobo zokuqala ziphinde zasetyenziswa kwaye ziphinde zisetyenziselwe ukuphinda zisetyenziselwe ukuphinda zisetyenziselwe ixesha elide kwingxaki yokungcola kweplastiki.
