Izwe lihlela ukuvimbela amapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye - izikhwama zokuphuma, imicu, izigaxa, izindandatho zamapakethe ayisithupha, okusika kanye ne-foodware eyenziwe ngamapulasitiki asebenza kanzima - ezweni lonke ngasekupheleni kuka-2021.

Lesi sinyathelo siyingxenye yomzamo omkhulu owenziwe yisizwe ukufeza imfucuza yepulasitiki engashayi khona ngo-2030.

“Ukungcola kwepulasitiki kusongela indawo yethu yemvelo. Kugcwalisa imifula noma amachibi ethu, ikakhulukazi izilwandle zethu, kuminyanisa izilwane zasendle ezihlala lapho, ”kusho uNgqongqoshe Wezemvelo waseCanada uJonathan Wilkinson ngoLwesithathu. inkomfa yabezindaba. "Abantu baseCanada bayalibona igalelo onalo ukungcola kusuka ogwini kuya kolunye."

Lolu hlelo lubandakanya nokwenza ngcono izinto ukuze kugcinwe “ipulasitiki emnothweni wethu nangaphandle kwemvelo yethu,” kusho yena.

Amapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye akha udoti wepulasitiki otholakala ezindaweni ezinamanzi angenawo usawoti eCanada, ngokusho kwe- uhulumeni.

UNdunankulu uJustin Trudeau uqale wamemezela uhlelo lwezwe lokunqanda lezi zinhlobo zepulasitiki ngonyaka odlule, waluchaza “njengenkinga esingeke sikwazi ukuyiziba,” ngokusho kwe ukukhishwa kwezindaba.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, oplastiki abasetshenziswa kanye banezici ezintathu ezibalulekile ezibenza babe yisisulu sokuvinjelwa, ngokusho kukaWilkinson.

Ngokusho kukahulumeni, abantu baseCanada balahla okungaphezulu kwe- 3 million tons kadoti wepulasitiki minyaka yonke - futhi yi-9% kuphela yaleyo plastiki esetshenziswa kabusha.

"Okunye okusele kokulahla udoti noma imvelo yethu," kusho uWilkinson.

Yize imithethonqubo emisha ingeke iqale ukusebenza kuze kube ngu-2021, uhulumeni waseCanada ukhipha i-a iphepha lezingxoxo echaza ukuvinjelwa kweplastikhi okuhlongozwayo nokucela impendulo yomphakathi.
