“Iyandixaka into yokuhlaziya izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo kuba ndixhalabele isizukulwana esizayo nokuba yonke le nkunkuma siyivelisayo iphelela phi. Kufuneka iyeke. Ndihlamba izitya zam zeplastiki kwaye ndiphinda ndisebenzise iimvulophu, yonke into endinokuyenza. " (Cherie Lunghi)

Uninzi lwethu lukholelwa ekuhlaziyeni nasekuluqheliseni yonke imihla njengomdlali weqonga uCherie Lunghi. Ukurisayikilishwa kweplastiki kunyanzelekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuba ubutyebi bendalo bubuyiselwa kwindalo ukuqinisekisa ukuzinza kwabo. Iplastiki bekufanele ukuba ibe yimveliso emangalisayo yenkulungwane yama-20, kodwa inkunkuma enetyhefu eyenziwe yiyo ibe yingozi. Ngoko ke, kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba siphinde  sisebenzise yonke inkunkuma yeplastiki.

Yintoni iPlastiki yokuRecycling?

Ukurisayikilishwa kweplastiki  yinkqubo yokubuyisela kwakhona iindidi ezahlukeneyo zemathiriyeli yeplastiki ukuze ziphinde zilungiswe zibe ziimveliso ezahlukeneyo, ngokungafaniyo nohlobo lwazo lwantlandlolo. Into eyenziwe ngeplastiki iyarisayikilishwa ibe yimveliso eyahlukileyo, nedla ngokungakwazi ukurisayikilishwa kwakhona.

Amanqanaba ePlastiki yokuRecycling

Phambi kokuba nayiphi na inkunkuma yeplastiki iphinde isetyenziswe, kufuneka idlule kumanqanaba amahlanu ahlukeneyo ukuze ibe nokuphinda isetyenziswe ukwenza iindidi ngeendidi zeemveliso.

1. Ukuhlela: Kuyimfuneko ukuba yonke into yeplastiki yahlulwe ngokokwenziwa kwayo kunye nohlobo lwayo ukuze ikwazi ukusetyenzwa ngokufanelekileyo kumatshini wokuqhekeza.
2. Ukuhlamba:  Xa sele kwenziwe uhlengahlengiso, inkunkuma yeplastiki kufuneka ihlanjwe kakuhle ukuze kususwe ubumdaka obufana neelebhile kunye nezinto ezincamathelayo. Oku kwandisa umgangatho wemveliso egqityiweyo.
3. Ukuqhawula:  Emva kokuhlamba, inkunkuma yeplastiki ilayishwa kwiibhanti zokuhambisa ezahlukeneyo ezihambisa inkunkuma ngokusebenzisa iishredders ezahlukeneyo. Ezi shredders zikrazula iplastiki kwiipellets ezincinci, zilungiselela ukuphinda zisetyenziswe kwezinye iimveliso.
4. Ukuchongwa kunye noHlelo lwePlastiki:  Emva kokuqhaqha, uvavanyo olufanelekileyo lweepellet zeplastiki lwenziwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe umgangatho wabo kunye neklasi.
5. Ukukhupha:  Oku kubandakanya ukunyibilikisa iplastiki ekrazulweyo ukuze ikhutshelwe kwiipellets, ezithi ke zisetyenziswe ukwenza iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeemveliso zeplastiki.

Iinkqubo zokuRisayikilishwa kwePlastiki

Phakathi kweenkqubo ezininzi zokuhlaziya inkunkuma yeplastiki, ezi zimbini zilandelayo zezona zidumileyo kwishishini.

• Uxinzelelo lobushushu:  Olu hlobo  lokurisayikilishwa kweplastiki lufumana imfuno ekhethekileyo  e-United States, e-Australia, nase-Japan ngenxa yokukwazi ukuseyisa kwakhona zonke iintlobo zeplastiki ngaxeshanye. Ithatha inkunkuma yeplastiki engalungiswanga necociweyo kwaye ixutywe kwiihubhula ezinkulu ezixukuxa umxube wonke. Inzuzo enkulu yale nkqubo kukuba ayifuni iifom ezihambelanayo zeplastiki ukuba ziphinde zisetyenziswe kunye.

• I-Monomer:  Ngenkqubo ecacileyo nechanekileyo yokurisayikilisha i-monomer, imiceli mngeni emikhulu yokwenziwa ngokutsha kweplastiki kunokoyiswa. Le nkqubo eneneni ibuyisela umva impendulo ye-polymerization ukuze kusetyenziswe kwakhona uhlobo olufanayo lwepolima ejikisiweyo. Le nkqubo ayihlambululi kuphela kodwa icoca inkunkuma yeplastiki ukwenza i-polymer entsha.

IiNzuzo zokuRecycling yePlastiki

Emva kokwazi iinkqubo kunye nezigaba zokuphinda usebenzise iplastiki, kubalulekile ukwazi izibonelelo zayo ezahlukeneyo. Ezinye zazo zezi:

• Kukho iToni yePlastiki:  Esinye sezizathu ezikhulu zokurisayikilisha iplastiki sisixa sayo esikhulu. Kuye kwaqatshelwa ukuba i-90% yenkunkuma eqokelelwe ngumbutho kamasipala yinkunkuma yeplastiki. Ngaphandle koku, iplastiki isetyenziselwa ukwenza iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeempahla kunye nezinto ezisetyenziswa yonke imihla. Oku akuyi kunceda nje ukwandisa imveliso yeplastiki kodwa kuya kukhathalela nokusingqongileyo.

• ULondolozo lwaMandla kunye neZibonelelo zeNdalo:  Ukurisayikilishwa kweplastiki kunceda ukugcina amandla amaninzi kunye nemithombo yendalo njengoko ezi zizithako eziphambili ezifunekayo ekwenzeni iplastiki enyulu. Ukugcina i-petroleum, amanzi, kunye nezinye izixhobo zendalo kunceda ukugcina ukulingana kwindalo.

• Icoca iNdawo yeNdawo yokulahla inkunkuma:  Inkunkuma yeplastiki iqokelelwa kumhlaba ofanele ukusetyenziselwa ezinye iinjongo. Ekuphela kwendlela le nkunkuma yeplastiki enokususwa ngayo kwezi ndawo kukurisayikilishwa kwayo. Kwakhona, imifuniselo eyahlukeneyo iye yangqina ukuba xa enye inkunkuma ilahlwa kumhlaba ofanayo nenkunkuma yeplastiki, yonakala ngokukhawuleza ize ikhuphe umsi oyityhefu oyingozi emva kwexesha elithile. Lo msi unobungozi kakhulu kwindawo eyingqongileyo njengoko unokubangela iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zezifo zemiphunga kunye nolusu.

Ukurisayikilishwa kweplastiki  akukhuthazi nje ukusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo kwenkunkuma yeplastiki kodwa kukwanceda nokulondoloza okusingqongileyo, kuyenze icoceke kwaye ibe luhlaza.
