1. I-China Yazisa Imithetho Emitsha Yokunciphisa Ukukhutshwa Kwe-VOCs, Ekhokelela Ekwehleni Okukhulu Kweengubo Ezisekelwe Kwisinyibilikisi Nokusetyenziswa Kwe-Ink
NgoFebruwari 2025, uMphathiswa we-Ecology and Environment waseTshayina ukhuphe iSicwangciso esiBanzi soLawulo lweeCompounds ze-Volatile Organic (ii-VOC) kwiiShishini eziPhambili. Lo mgaqo-nkqubo uyalela ukuba, ekupheleni kuka-2025, umlinganiselo wokusetyenziswa kweengubo zoshishino ezisekelwe kwisinyibilikisi kufuneka uncitshiswe ngama-20 ekhulwini xa kuthelekiswa namanqanaba ka-2020, ii-inki ezisekelwe kwisinyibilikisi ngama-10 ekhulwini, kunye nee-adhesive ezisekelwe kwisinyibilikisi ngama-20%. Phantsi kolu xinzelelo oluqhutywa ngumgaqo-nkqubo, imfuno yezinyibilikisi eziphantsi kwe-VOC kunye nezinye iindlela ezisekelwe emanzini inyukile. Kwisiqingatha sokuqala sika-2025, isabelo semarike sezinyibilikisi ezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo sele sifikelele kwi-35%, nto leyo ebonisa ukukhawulezisa okucacileyo kotshintsho lweshishini oluya kwiimveliso kunye neendlela eziluhlaza nezizinzileyo.
2. IMarike yeHlabathi yeSolvent idlula i-$85 yeebhiliyoni, iAsia-Pacific inegalelo kwi-65% yoKhulo oluKhulayo
Ngowama-2025, imakethi yehlabathi ye-chemical solvent ifikelele kwixabiso le-$85 yeebhiliyoni, ikhula ngesantya sonyaka se-3.3%. Ummandla we-Asia-Pacific uvele njengenjini ephambili yolu hlumo, unegalelo kwi-65% yokusetyenziswa okwandisiweyo. Okuphawulekayo kukuba, imakethi yaseTshayina inikezele ngentsebenzo enamandla kakhulu, ifikelela kwisikali esimalunga ne-285 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi.
Olu lwando lubunjwe kakhulu ngamandla amabini okuphucula amashishini kunye nemithetho engqongqo yokusingqongileyo. Ezi zinto zibangela ukuba kubekho utshintsho olukhulu ekubunjweni kwezinyibilikisi. Isabelo semarike esidibeneyo sezinyibilikisi ezisekelwe emanzini nezisekelwe kwi-bio, esasimi kwi-28% ngo-2024, kulindeleke ukuba sinyuke kakhulu siye kwi-41% ngo-2030. Kwangaxeshanye, ukusetyenziswa kwezinyibilikisi ze-halogen zemveli kuyaqhubeka nokuhla, nto leyo ebonisa intshukumo yoshishino kwindlela ezihlala ixesha elide. Le ndlela igxininisa ukujikeleza kwehlabathi ukuya kwiikhemikhali eziluhlaza ukuphendula kwiindlela eziguqukayo zokulawula kunye nemfuno yabathengi yeemveliso ezinoxanduva lokusingqongileyo.
3. I-US EPA Ikhupha Imithetho Emitsha Yezinyibilikisi, Iphelisa Izinyibilikisi Zemveli Ezifana NeTetrachloroethylene
Ngo-Okthobha ka-2025, i-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo yase-US (i-EPA) yazisa isethi yemithetho engqongqo ejolise kwizinyibilikisi ezithile zoshishino. Into ephambili kule mithetho kukupheliswa okucwangcisiweyo kwe-tetrachloroethylene (i-PCE okanye i-PERC). Ukusetyenziswa kwe-PCE kwizicelo zorhwebo kunye nabathengi kuya kuthintelwa ngokupheleleyo ukususela ngoJuni ka-2027. Ngaphezu koko, ukusetyenziswa kwayo kwicandelo lokucoca okomileyo kucwangciselwe ukuvalwa ngokupheleleyo ekupheleni kuka-2034.
Le mithetho ikwabeka imida engqongqo kwiimeko zokusetyenziswa kwezinye izinyibilikisi ezine-chlorine. Eli nyathelo libanzi lolawulo lenzelwe ukukhusela impilo yoluntu kunye nokusingqongileyo ngokunciphisa ukuvezwa kwezi khemikhali ziyingozi. Kulindeleke ukuba likhuthaze utshintsho olukhawulezileyo kwimarike, lityhale amashishini axhomekeke kwezi zinyibilikisi ukuba akhawulezise ukwamkelwa kwazo kwezinye iindlela ezikhuselekileyo nezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo. Eli nyathelo libonisa inyathelo elibalulekileyo ngabalawuli baseMelika ekulawuleni amacandelo eekhemikhali kunye nemveliso kwindlela ezizinzileyo.
