Kev lag luam hnab yas thaum Lub Ib Hlis 30 tau nthuav tawm qhov kev cog lus yeem los txhawb cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab hauv cov khw muag khoom lub hnab rau 20 feem pua ​​​​los ntawm 2025 raws li ib feem ntawm txoj kev txhawb nqa dav dav.

Raws li txoj kev npaj, pawg lag luam tseem ceeb hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas yog rebranding nws tus kheej li American Recyclable Plastic Bag Alliance thiab tab tom txhawb kev txhawb nqa rau cov neeg siv kev kawm thiab teeb tsa lub hom phiaj tias 95 feem pua ​​​​ntawm cov hnab yas yuav rov siv dua lossis rov ua dua los ntawm 2025.

Cov phiaj xwm los txog thaum cov neeg tsim lub hnab yas tau ntsib ntau qhov kev kub ntxhov ntawm nom tswv - tus naj npawb ntawm lub xeev nrog kev txwv lossis kev txwv rau lub hnab ballooned xyoo tas los txij li ob lub Ib Hlis mus rau yim thaum lub xyoo xaus.

Cov neeg ua haujlwm hauv kev lag luam tau hais tias lawv txoj haujlwm tsis yog lus teb ncaj qha rau lub xeev txwv, tab sis lawv lees paub cov lus nug pej xeem kom lawv ua ntau dua.

Matt Seaholm, tus thawj coj ntawm ARPBA, yav tas los hu ua American Progressive Bag Alliance, tau hais tias "Qhov no tau muaj kev sib tham los ntawm kev lag luam rau ib ntus tam sim no los teeb tsa qee lub hom phiaj xav tau ntawm cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua tshiab,""Qhov no yog peb tso ib qho zoo taw rau pem hauv ntej.Koj paub, feem ntau cov neeg yuav tau txais cov lus nug, 'Zoo, koj ua dab tsi ua lag luam?'

Kev cog lus los ntawm Washington-based ARPBA suav nrog kev nce zuj zus pib ntawm 10 feem pua ​​​​cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua tshiab hauv xyoo 2021 thiab nce mus rau 15 feem pua ​​​​hauv 2023. Seaholm xav tias kev lag luam yuav dhau lub hom phiaj ntawd.

Seaholm tau hais tias "Kuv xav tias nws muaj kev nyab xeeb rau kev xav, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nrog kev siv zog txuas ntxiv los ntawm cov khw muag khoom thov kom rov ua dua cov ntsiab lus los ua ib feem ntawm lub hnab, Kuv xav tias tej zaum peb yuav yeej cov lej no," Seaholm tau hais."Peb twb muaj qee qhov kev sib tham nrog cov khw muag khoom uas nyiam qhov no, uas nyiam lub tswv yim ntawm kev txhawb nqa cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua tshiab ntawm lawv lub hnab ua ib feem ntawm kev cog lus rau kev ruaj khov."

Cov qib cov ntsiab lus siv tau zoo ib yam li tau hu rau lub caij ntuj sov dhau los los ntawm pab pawg Recycle More Bags, koom nrog tsoomfwv, tuam txhab thiab pab pawg ib puag ncig.

Cov pab pawg ntawd, txawm li cas los xij, xav tau cov theem los ntawm tsoomfwv, sib cav hais tias kev cog lus yeem yog "tsis muaj peev xwm tsav tsheb rau kev hloov pauv tiag tiag."

 

Seaholm tau hais tias cov neeg tsim lub hnab yas tawm tsam muaj cov lus cog tseg uas tau sau tseg hauv txoj cai lij choj, tab sis nws tau qhia qee qhov kev hloov pauv yog tias tsoomfwv xav kom cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua tshiab.

Seaholm tau hais tias "Yog tias ib lub xeev txiav txim siab tias lawv xav kom 10 feem pua ​​​​cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua lossis txawm tias 20 feem pua ​​​​cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua tshiab, nws yuav tsis yog ib yam uas peb tawm tsam," Seaholm hais tias, "tab sis nws yuav tsis yog ib yam uas peb txhawb nqa ib yam nkaus.

"Yog tias ib lub xeev xav ua nws, peb zoo siab rau qhov kev sib tham ntawd ... vim tias nws ua tib yam uas peb tab tom tham txog kev ua ntawm no, thiab qhov ntawd txhawb kev siv kawg rau cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua.Thiab qhov ntawd yog ib feem tseem ceeb ntawm peb txoj kev cog lus, txhawb kev lag luam kawg, "nws hais.

Ib 20 feem pua ​​​​cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua tshiab rau cov hnab yas kuj yog qhov pom zoo rau cov qauv kev txwv lub hnab lossis cov cai lij choj los ntawm ib puag ncig pab pawg Surfrider Foundation hauv cov khoom siv uas nws tsim rau cov neeg tawm tsam, hais tias Jennie Romer, tus kws lij choj ntawm lub hauv paus Plastic Pollution Initiative.

Surfrider, txawm li cas los xij, hu rau kev tswj hwm cov neeg siv khoom tom qab cov khoom siv hauv lub hnab, raws li California tau ua hauv nws txoj cai 2016 lub hnab yas uas tau teeb tsa 20 feem pua ​​​​ntawm cov khoom siv rov qab hauv hnab yas tso cai raws li nws txoj cai, Romer tau hais.Qhov ntawd tau nce mus rau 40 feem pua ​​​​cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua xyoo no hauv California.

Seaholm tau hais tias ARPBA txoj kev npaj tsis qhia meej txog kev siv cov yas tom qab siv, sib cav tias cov yas tom qab kev lag luam kuj zoo.Thiab nws tsis tas yuav yog lub hnab ntim khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab - cov khoom siv rov ua dua tuaj yeem los ntawm lwm cov yeeb yaj kiab zoo li pallet stretch qhwv, nws hais.

"Peb tsis pom qhov sib txawv loj txawm tias koj tab tom noj cov neeg siv khoom tom qab lossis tom qab kev lag luam.Txawm li cas los xij koj khaws cov khoom tawm ntawm qhov chaw pov tseg, "Seaholm hais."Qhov ntawd yog qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws."

Nws hais tias tam sim no cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab hauv hnab yas tsawg dua 10 feem pua.

Seaholm tau hais tias kom ua tau raws li 20 feem pua ​​​​cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua tshiab, nws zoo li US cov hnab yas rov ua dua tshiab yuav tsum tau nce.

US Environmental Protection Agency cov ntaub ntawv hais tias 12.7 feem pua ​​​​ntawm cov hnab yas, cov hnab ntim khoom thiab cov ntaub qhwv tau rov ua dua xyoo 2016, cov ntaub ntawv xyoo dhau los muaj.

"Yuav kom tau mus rau tus lej kawg, kom tau mus txog 20 feem pua ​​​​cov ntsiab lus rov ua dua tshiab thoob plaws lub tebchaws, yog lawm, peb yuav tsum ua txoj haujlwm zoo dua ntawm cov khw muag khoom rov qab, thiab thaum kawg, yog tias curbside tuaj hauv online," nws hais."Txawm li cas los xij, [peb yuav tsum tau] sau cov yas zaj duab xis polyethylene ntau dua kom rov ua dua."

Txawm li cas los xij, muaj kev sib tw.Ib daim ntawv tshaj tawm Lub Xya Hli los ntawm American Chemistry Council, piv txwv li, tau sau tseg tias qhov poob qis ntawm ntau dua 20 feem pua ​​​​hauv kev rov ua dua cov yas yas hauv xyoo 2017, vim Tuam Tshoj tau nce kev txwv ntawm kev xa khoom pov tseg.

Seaholm tau hais tias kev lag luam lub hnab tsis xav kom tus nqi rov qab poob, tab sis nws lees paub tias nws nyuaj vim tias lub hnab rov ua dua tshiab yog nyob ntawm cov neeg siv khoom siv lub hnab ntim cov ntsiab lus poob.Feem ntau curbside recycling cov kev pab cuam tsis lees txais lub hnab vim lawv cov pos hniav ntawm cov khoom sib cais, txawm hais tias muaj cov kev sim sim los daws qhov teeb meem ntawd.

ARPBA qhov kev pabcuam suav nrog kev kawm rau cov neeg siv khoom, kev siv zog los ua kom cov kev pabcuam rov qab mus rau tom khw thiab kev cog lus los ua haujlwm nrog cov khw muag khoom kom suav nrog cov lus pom meej dua rau cov neeg siv khoom nyob ib puag ncig yuav ua li cas lub hnab yuav tsum rov ua dua.

Seaholm tau hais tias nws txhawj xeeb tias kev nthuav dav ntawm kev txwv lub hnab hauv cov xeev xws li New York tuaj yeem cuam tshuam kev rov ua dua tshiab yog tias cov khw muag khoom tsis kam muab cov chaw tso tawm, thiab nws tau hais tawm txoj cai tshiab hauv Vermont uas pib xyoo no.

Nws tau hais tias "Piv txwv li hauv Vermont, nrog lawv txoj cai lij choj ua li cas, kuv tsis paub tias cov khw muag khoom puas tseem yuav muaj cov kev pab cuam rov qab los hauv khw," nws hais."Txhua lub sijhawm koj txwv cov khoom lag luam, koj tshem tawm cov kwj dej kom rov ua dua tshiab."

Tseem, nws tau qhia kev ntseeg siab tias kev lag luam yuav ua tau raws li cov lus cog tseg.

“Peb yuav ua qhov kev cog lus;Peb mam li nrhiav txoj hauv kev los ua nws, "Seaholm hais."Peb tseem xav tias, xav tias ib nrab lub tebchaws tsis tau txiav txim siab tam sim ntawd txwv cov hnab yas zoo li Vermont tau ua, peb yuav muaj peev xwm ntaus cov lej no."

Txoj kev npaj ARPBA kuj tau teem lub hom phiaj tias 95 feem pua ​​​​ntawm cov hnab yuav raug siv los yog rov siv dua los ntawm 2025. Nws kwv yees tias 90 feem pua ​​​​ntawm cov hnab yas tam sim no yog siv los yog rov siv dua.

Nws ua raws li kev suav ntawm ob tus lej: EPA's 12-13 feem pua ​​​​lub hnab rov ua dua tshiab, thiab kev kwv yees los ntawm Quebec lub xeev cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab uas 77-78 feem pua ​​​​ntawm cov hnab yas rov qab siv dua, feem ntau yog cov thoob khib nyiab liner.

Tau txais los ntawm 90 feem pua ​​​​ntawm cov hnab ntim tam sim no mus rau 95 feem pua ​​​​yuav yog qhov nyuaj, Seaholm tau hais.

Nws tau hais tias "Qhov no yog lub hom phiaj uas tsis yog qhov yooj yim tshaj plaws mus rau vim tias nws yuav siv qhov kev yuav khoom ntawm cov neeg siv khoom," nws hais.“Kev kawm yuav yog qhov tseem ceeb.Peb yuav tsum tau txuas ntxiv thawb kom paub tseeb tias tib neeg nkag siab kom nqa lawv lub hnab rov qab mus rau tom khw. "

Cov neeg ua haujlwm hauv kev lag luam pom lawv txoj kev npaj ua ib qho kev cog lus tseem ceeb.ARPBA Thawj Tswj Hwm Gary Alstott, uas tseem yog tus thawj coj ntawm lub hnab ntim khoom Novolex, tau hais tias kev lag luam tau nqis peev ntau hauv kev tsim kho vaj tse los siv cov hnab yas.

"Peb cov tswv cuab tam sim no rov siv ntau pua lab phaus ntawm lub hnab thiab cov yeeb yaj kiab yas txhua xyoo, thiab peb txhua tus tau ua ntau yam ntxiv los txhawb kev siv lub hnab kom ruaj khov," nws hais hauv nqe lus.
