Ngokusebenzisa i-EPR nokubukeza i-PPT, uhulumeni ufuna ukugqugquzela ukugaywa kabusha kanye nokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kokulahla imfucumfucu.
Isabelomali sakamuva sembule izinguquko ezibalulekile ezihloselwe ukuthuthukisa ukuphathwa kwemfucuza kanye nezinqubo zokugaywa kabusha e-UK.
Kodwa-ke, abaholi bezimboni bazwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuthi uxhaso oluhlongozwayo kanye nezinqubomgomo zingase zingaxazululi ngokwanele izinselelo ezibhekene neziphathimandla zendawo kanye nemikhakha yokulawulwa kwemfucuza.
Uxhaso kanye nokukhathazeka kwe-EPR
Uhulumeni wethula Isibopho Esingeziwe Somkhiqizi (EPR) futhi ubuyekeza I-Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) emzamweni wokuthuthukisa amanani okugaywa kabusha kanye nokunciphisa ukuthembela ezindaweni ezilahliwe.
NgokukaMgcinimafa, iziphathimandla zendawo zizokwamukela cishe u-£1.1 billion woxhaso olusha ngo-2025-26 ngokuqaliswa kohlelo lwe-EPR.
Kodwa-ke, i-Local Government Association (LGA) ixwayise ngokuthi izinkokhelo ezivela ku-EPR "akunakwenzeka ukuthi zikhokhe izindleko ezengeziwe eziphakama lapho imindeni ibeka imfucuza engasetshenziswa kabusha emgqonyeni ongafanele," okubeka ingcindezi eyengeziwe yezezimali emikhandlwini.
I-North London Waste Authority inanelele lokhu kukhathazeka, yathi "izinkokhelo eziyisisekelo ezibuyekeziwe ze-EPR ziphansi kakhulu" futhi zizoba nomthelela omubi kwezezimali zeziphathimandla zendawo.
Lesi sigameko sokukhathazeka sagqanyiswa esimweni sikaRachel Reeves ethula Isabelomali sokuqala nguShansela wesifazane, kanye neSabelomali sokuqala Sezabasebenzi eminyakeni eyishumi nane.
Izinguquko Zentela Yokufaka Yepulasitiki
Phakathi kwezimemezelo ezibalulekile, uhulumeni ukuqinisekisile ukuthi amabhizinisi azovunyelwa ukusebenzisa indlela yebhalansi enkulu ebufakazini bokuqukethwe okugaywe kabusha ngepulasitiki egaywe kabusha ngamakhemikhali ye-PPT.
UJim Bligh, uMqondisi Wezindaba Zebhizinisi kanye Nokupakishwa e-Food and Drink Federation, uthe, “Lesi sinqumo besiyizindaba ezinhle. Abakhiqizi bokudla neziphuzo bafuna futhi badinga umnotho oyindilinga wokupakisha kabusha.”
Wanezela ukuthi lolu shintsho "luzovula izimakethe ezintsha zokuvuselelwa kabusha okuthuthukisiwe e-UK, ludale imisebenzi eluhlaza kanye namathuba okutshala izimali, kuyilapho kukhulisa inani lokuqukethwe okugaywe kabusha okusetshenziselwa ukupakishwa kwebanga lokudla."
Izinga le-PPT lika-2025-26 nalo lizokhuphuka lihambisane nokwehla kwamandla emali kwe-CPI ukuze kugqugquzelwe amabhizinisi ukuthi asebenzise izinto ezigaywe kabusha esikhundleni sepulasitiki entsha emaphaketheni.
Isikhulu se-Biffa uMichael Topham usamukele isinqumo se-PPT kodwa wathi, "Ukuletha ushintsho lwesinyathelo esidingekayo samapulasitiki agaywe kabusha, i-PPT eqhubekayo ibalulekile." Ugcizelele wathi, “I-Biffa isineminyaka ikhankasela lolu shintsho futhi sisazoqhubeka nokuluphakamisa nohulumeni.”
Kodwa-ke, uJacob Hayler, uMqondisi Omkhulu we-ESA, uzwakalise ukudumala ngokuthi uMnyango Wezezimali "azinaki iseluleko" sokwandisa i-PPT eminyakeni emihlanu ezayo ukuya ku-£500 tonne.
Uthe, "Lokhu kuzoqhubeka nokuphoqa izimakethe zamapulasitiki agaywe kabusha, okuzolimaza izifiso zomnotho oyisiyingi zabasebenzi."
U-Hayler uphinde wachaza ukuthi amazinga amanje e-PPT "awashayeli ukusebenza kabusha kwepulasitiki noma ukudala izimakethe zama-polymers asetshenziswe kabusha."
Intela yokulahla phansi kanye nemithelela yesikhathi esizayo
Isabelomali siphinde saqinisekisa izinguquko ezilinganisweni zentela yokufihlwa komhlaba kusukela mhla lu-1 kuMbasa wezi-2025, amanani esikhathi esizayo amenyezelwa ngaphambi kwemicimbi yezimali elandelayo.
U-Dan Cooke, uMqondisi Wenqubomgomo, Ezokuxhumana Nezindaba Zangaphandle e-Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM), uphawule wathi, "Ukugxila okuqinile ezindleleni zokukhuthaza ukungabikho, amandla ahlanzekile nengqalasizinda eluhlaza bekulindelekile futhi kwamukelekile."
Ubalule ukuthi ukuqinisekiswa kokusekelwa kwamaphrojekthi we-carbon capture and storage (CCS) "kuzokwenza amaphrojekthi abalulekile e-CCS afaka izitshalo ze-Energy-from-Waste ukuthi athuthuke."
Nokho, uMongameli wangaphambili we-CIWM uDkt Adam Read MBE uzwakalise ukudumala ngokuthi umkhakha wokumosha nezinsiza “awunakiwe kakhulu” kuSabelomali.
Ukhale ngokuthi, “Ithuba lokufaka umfutho wangempela ekuzibophezeleni kukahulumeni ekunciphiseni imfucumfucu liphuthelwe.” I-Read iphinde yagqamisa isidingo "sokucaca kwenqubomgomo" mayelana nezinguquko zokugaywa kabusha.
USian Sutherland, Umsunguli-Co-Founder we-A Plastic Planet & Plastic Health Council, wayegxeka ukutshalwa kwezimali kubuchwepheshe bokuthwebula i-carbon, ebiza ngokuthi "iqabunga lomkhiwane" lama-giants kawoyela.
Uthe, "Uhulumeni wethu udinga ukunquma ukuthi ubani okhethelwe ukuvikela - inzuzo yemithombo yamandla kaphethiloli noma ikusasa elinempilo lezakhamizi." USutherland uxwayise ngokuthi ngaphandle kwezinqubomgomo eziqinile zezemvelo, i-UK ingabhekana “nomonakalo osibekela inhlekelele yezimali yango-2008 kanye nobhubhane lweCovid-19.”
Njengoba ababambiqhaza besabela emithethweni yeSabelomali, kuyacaca ukuthi ukulinganisa izingqinamba zezimali ezisheshayo nezinjongo zemvelo zesikhathi eside kuseyinselelo enkulu emikhakheni yokulawulwa kwemfucuza kanye nokupakishwa kwayo.
