Ungakukhetha Kanjani Ukupakisha Okusimeme?

Abathengi bafuna ukusimama, kodwa abafuni ukudukiswa.I-Innova Market Insights iphawula ukuthi kusukela ngo-2018, izimangalo zezemvelo ezifana "ne-carbon footprint," "ukunciphisa ukupakisha," kanye "no-plastic-free" emaphaketheni okudla nesiphuzo cishe ziphindwe kabili (92%).Nokho, ukwanda kolwazi lokusimama kuye kwaphakamisa ukukhathazeka ngezimangalo ezingaqinisekisiwe."Ukuze siqinisekise abathengi abakhathalela imvelo, sibone ukwanda kwemikhiqizo enikezwayo eminyakeni embalwa edlule ethuthukisa imizwa yabathengi ngezimangalo 'eziluhlaza' okungenzeka zingaqinisekiswa," kusho u-Aiyar."Emikhiqizweni enezimangalo eziqinisekiswayo mayelana nokuphela kwempilo, sizoqhubeka nokusebenza ukuze sibhekane nokungaqiniseki kwabathengi mayelana nokulahlwa okufanele kwalokhu kufakwa ukuze sikhuthaze ukuphathwa kahle kwemfucuza."Abezemvelo balindele “igagasi lamacala” kulandela isimemezelo se-UN mayelana nezinhlelo zokusungula isivumelwano somhlaba wonke sokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki, kuyilapho abalawuli belwisana nokukhangisa okungamanga njengoba izimfuno zezinkampani ezinkulu zokuhlanza imfucumfucu yepulasitiki ziyanda.Muva nje, i-McDonald's, i-Nestle, ne-Danone zibikwe ngokuhluleka ukuthobela izinhloso zokunciphisa ipulasitiki yase-France ngaphansi komthetho "wokuqapha".Kusukela umqedazwe we-COVID-19, abathengi bathanda ukupakishwa kwepulasitiki.

Ngenxa yezidingo zenhlanzeko ezihlobene nalolu bhubhane, umuzwa wokulwa nepulasitiki usupholile.Ngaleso sikhathi, i-European Commission ithole ukuthi ngaphezu kwesigamu (53%) sezicelo zomkhiqizo ezihlaziywe ngo-2020 zinikeze "ulwazi olungacacile, oludukisayo, noma olungenabufakazi mayelana nezici zemvelo zomkhiqizo".E-UK, i-Competition and Markets Authority iphenya ukuthi imikhiqizo “eluhlaza” imakethwa kanjani nokuthi abathengi bayadukiswa yini.Kodwa umkhuba wokuwasha okuluhlaza uvumela nemikhiqizo ethembekile ukuthi inikeze izitatimende ezigunyazwe ngokwesayensi futhi ithole ukwesekwa okuvela ezindleleni ezisobala nezilawulwayo njengezikweletu zepulasitiki, ezinye zisikisela ukuthi singene “emhlabeni we-post-LCA.”Abathengi bomhlaba wonke baya ngokuya befuna ukuvezwa obala ezimangalweni zokusimama, kanti u-47% ufuna ukubona umthelela wokupakishwa kwemvelo uvezwa ngezikolo noma amamaki, kanti u-34% uthi ukwehla kwenani le-carbon footprint kuzoba nomthelela omuhle ezinqumweni zabo zokuthenga.
