Iingxowa zeplastiki ezibolisiweyo zisenakho ukuthwala ivenkile kwiminyaka emithathu emva kokuba zishiywe kwindawo yendalo.
Izinto ezintlanu zeengxowa zeplastiki ezifunyenwe kwiivenkile zase-UK zavavanywa ukuze zibone ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kuzo kwindawo apho zinokuvela khona ukuba zilahliwe.
Zonke zaqhekeka zaba ngamaqhekeza emva kokuvezwa emoyeni kangangeenyanga ezilithoba.
Kodwa emva kweminyaka engaphezu kwemithathu emhlabeni okanye elwandle, izinto ezintathu, kuquka neengxowa ezinokonakala, zazingekaguquki.
Iingxowa ezivundisiweyo zifunyenwe zincinci kwindalo engqongileyo - ubuncinane elwandle.
Emva kweenyanga ezintathu ziselwandle zazinyamalele, kodwa zazinokufunyanwa emhlabeni kwiinyanga ezingama-27 kamva.
Izazinzulu kwiDyunivesithi yasePlymouth ziye zavavanya izixhobo ezahlukeneyo ngamaxesha athile ukuze zibone ukuba ziqhekeka njani.
Bathi uphando luphakamise imibuzo malunga neemveliso ezinokubola ezithengiswa kubathengi njengenye indlela yeplastiki engenakuphinda isetyenziswe.
U-Imogen Napper, owayekhokele olu phando uthi: “Ukuze iibhegi ezikwaziyo ukwenza oko kwakumangalisa kakhulu.
“Xa ubona into ebhalwe ngolo hlobo ndicinga ukuba ngokuzenzekelayo ucinga ukuba iya kuthotywa ngokukhawuleza kuneengxowa eziqhelekileyo.
"Kodwa emva kweminyaka emithathu ubuncinci, uphando lwethu lubonisa ukuba ayinakuba njalo."
Biodegradable v compostable
Ukuba kukho into engonakaliswa yibhayoloji inokophulwa zizinto eziphilayo ezifana neebhaktiriya kunye nokungunda.
Cinga ngeqhekeza lesiqhamo esisele engceni - sinike ixesha kwaye siya kubonakala sinyamalale ngokupheleleyo.Ngokwenyani “yetyiswa” ziintsholongwane.
Kwenzeka kwizinto zendalo ngaphandle kokungenelela komntu kunikwe iimeko ezifanelekileyo - njengobushushu kunye nokufumaneka kwe-oksijini.
Ukwenza umgquba yinto enye, kodwa kulawulwa ngabantu ukwenza inkqubo ikhawuleze.
Co-op'siiplastiki ezivundisiweyozenzelwe ukulahlwa kokutya, kwaye ukuze zihlelwe njengezivundisiweyo kufuneka zophulwe kwiiveki ezili-12 phantsi kweemeko ezithile.
Izazinzulu zasePlymouth ziye zabuza ukuba zisebenza kangakanani izinto eziguquguqukayo ze-biodegradable njengesisombululo sexesha elide kwingxaki yokusetyenziswa kweplastiki enye.
“Olu phando luphakamisa imibuzo emininzi malunga nokuba uluntu lunokulindela ntoni xa lubona into ebhalwe njenge biodegradable.
“Sibonisa apha ukuba izinto ezivavanyiweyo azizange zibonise naliphi na ithuba elingaguqukiyo, elithembekileyo nelifanelekileyo kumxholo wenkunkuma yaselwandle.
“Iyandikhathaza into yokuba ezi zixhobo zintsha zikwanika imingeni ekusetyenzisweni ngokutsha,” utshilo uNjingalwazi uRichard Thompson, intloko yoPhando lweLitha yaseLwandle yaMazwe ngaMazwe.
Kuphononongo, izazinzulu zicaphule ingxelo yeKomishoni yaseYurophu ye-2013 ecebisa malunga ne-100 yeebhiliyoni zeengxowa zeplastiki ezikhutshwa ngonyaka.
Oorhulumente abohlukeneyo, kubandakanywa ne-UK, ukususela ngoko baqalise amanyathelo afana neentlawulo zokunciphisa inani elisetyenziswayo.
