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 ukupakishwa," 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 esebenzisa imizwa yabathengi ngezimangalo 'eziluhlaza' okungenzeka zingaqinisekiswa,” kusho u-Aiyar."Emikhiqizweni enezimangalo eziqinisekiswayo mayelana nokuphela kwempilo, sizoqhubeka nokusebenza ukuze sibhekane nokungaqiniseki kwabathengi mayelana nokulahlwa okufanele kwaleyo phakheji 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 imigomo yokunciphisa ipulasitiki yase-France ngaphansi komthetho "wokuqapha".Kusukela ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19, abathengi bathanda ukupakishwa kwepulasitiki.

Ngenxa yezidingo zenhlanzeko ezihlobene nalolu bhubhane, umuzwa wokulwa nepulasitiki usupholile.Ngaleso sikhathi, i-European Commission ithole ukuthi ngaphezu kwengxenye (53%) yezicelo 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 uhlaza ubuye uvumele amabhrendi athembekile ukuthi anikeze izitatimende ezigunyazwe ngokwesayensi futhi athole ukwesekwa okuvela ezindleleni ezisobala nezilawulwayo njengamakhredithi epulasitiki, abanye basikisela ukuthi sesingene “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.
