Ingxelo yakutshanje yeUnited Nations Environment Programme ibonisa ukuba amazwe ali-127 ehlabathini lonke aye asebenzisa iindlela zokunciphisa iiplastiki. Iikhefi ezingasebenziyo kwi-intanethi, iindwendwe, kunye neehotele ziyayeka ukusebenzisa iikomityi zephepha kunye nemikhono yeplastiki yokugquma. Kabini-iikomityi zeglasi ezigqunywe ngodonga zihlangabezana ngokugqibeleleyo neendleko-iimfuno zokunciphisa iimeko zorhwebo. Ulwakhiwo olubiyelweyo oluphindwe kabini{7}} lubonelela ngokugquma kwendalo, lususa imfuneko yokuba iivenkile zithenge imikhono yokugquma ephepheni, okunokubanakho ukunciphisa iindleko ezilahlwayo ezilahlwayo ngama-30% kwixesha elide. Izinto ezibonakalayo ze-borosilicate ezicacileyo zinokuphinda zisetyenziswe iminyaka engaphezu kwe-5, zihambelana ngokupheleleyo neengcamango zokusetyenziswa okuzinzileyo zabathengi baseYurophu naseMelika. Ngaphezu kwe-60% yabathengi baphesheya bazimisele ukuhlawula iprimiyamu emalunga ne-15% kwizinto zeglasi ezinobungani nokuphinda zisetyenziswe. Ngokwembono yolwahlulo lwemarike, iimarike eziphezulu{15}}ezokugqibela eYurophu naseMelika zikhetha ubuncinci, ukuphatha{16}}ngaphantsi kabini{17}}iikomityi ezinodonga kunye neseti yesivalo soqalo/somthi, ijolise ikakhulu kwiti yasemva kwemini yasekhaya kunye nesetingi zekofu yeofisi. Kwimimandla ebandayo yase-Russia nakuMbindi we-Asiya, ii-odolo zokujiya, ukubamba{19}}ezixhotyisiweyo,{20}iikomityi ezifakwe eludongeni ezigqunywe ngodonga zikhula ngokukhawuleza, zibonisa imfuneko emandla yeziselo ezishushu ngexesha lasebusika. Ubungqina bokudubula -, ubushushu - obuxhathisa iglasi ephezulu ye-borosilicate imathiriyeli efanelekileyo{24}} ilungele ukutshintshiselana ngesiselo esishushu nesibandayo. Kumazantsi mpuma eAsia nakuMbindi Mpuma,{26}}ixabiso eliphezulu, iiseti zezipho ezisisiseko zithengiswa kakuhle, ikakhulu kuselwa lwemihla ngemihla kunye nezipho zeholide.
Ukunqumla-abathengisi bemida baxela ukuba iikomityi zeglasi ezifakwe eludongeni eziphindwe kabini{1}zinika inzuzo yokubona; i-hollow interlayer yenza isiselo esinqunyanyisiweyo, esikhokelela kumgangatho ophezulu{2}}iifoto zeelayiti ezinelayiti kunye neti yeziqhamo, ezikhokelela kumazinga aphezulu oguqulo kumaqonga evidiyo amafutshane xa kuthelekiswa nekomityi zamanzi eziqhelekileyo. Iifektri zasekhaya ngaxeshanye ziphucula iinkqubo zemveliso eziluhlaza, zandisa umlinganiselo weglasi yenkunkuma esetyenzisiweyo, kwaye zisebenzisa iibhokisi zephepha ze-kraft ezinokubolisa ukupakishwa, ukuhlangabezana nemigangatho yoqinisekiso "yemozulu{4}}yemveliso enobuhlobo" yamaqonga aphesheya kunye nokufumana izithuthi ezikhethekileyo.
Idatha yemizi-mveliso iqikelela ukuba ubungakanani bemarike yehlabathi yobushushu{0}}kwizikhongozeli zeglasi ezikwaziyo ukumelana nobushushu buya kudlula i-US$7.6 yebhiliyoni ngo-2026. Udidi oluphindiweyo -loluhlu olugqunyiweyo lukhula ngesantya sepesenti ezi-4 ngaphezulu komndilili woshishino. Iqhutywa yimigaqo-nkqubo yokusingqongileyo, olu luhlu luzakuqhuba nokuthatha indawo yeplastiki kunye nezikhongozeli zesiselo esilahlwayo zephepha, ibe ngumqhubi wexesha elide wokukhula kokuthumela ngaphandle{7}kusetyenziselwe yonke imihla{8}}izixhobo zeglasi.
