UMcDonald uza kuzama iikomityi zeplastiki ezenziwe ngezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo nezisekelwe kwizinto eziphilayo.

IMcDonald's iza kusebenzisana namaqabane ayo i-INEOS, iLyondellBasell, kunye nomboneleli wezisombululo ze-polymer ezivuselelekayo ze-feedstock uNeste, kunye nomboneleli weepakeji zokutya neziselo eMntla Melika uPactiv Evergreen, ukusebenzisa indlela elungelelanisiweyo ukuvelisa izisombululo eziHlaziyiweyo, ukuvavanya ukuveliswa kweekomityi zeplastiki ezicacileyo ezivela kwiplastiki esetyenzisiweyo emva kokuthengwa kunye nezinto ezisekelwe kwi-bio ezifana neoyile yokupheka esetyenzisiweyo.

Ngokutsho kweMcDonald's, indebe yeplastiki ecacileyo yindibaniselwano ye-50:50 yezinto zeplastiki ezisetyenziswa emva kokuthengwa kunye nezinto ezisetyenziswa kwizinto eziphilayo. Le nkampani ichaza izinto ezisetyenziswa kwizinto eziphilayo njengezinto ezithathwe kwi-biomass, ezifana nezityalo, kunye neeoyile zokupheka ezisetyenzisiweyo eziza kubandakanywa kweli candelo.

IMcDonald's ithe ezi zinto ziya kudityaniswa ukuvelisa iikomityi ngendlela yokulinganisela ubunzima, eya kuyivumela ukuba ilinganise kwaye ilandelele igalelo lezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo nezisekelwe kwizinto eziphilayo ezisetyenzisiweyo kule nkqubo, ngelixa ikwabandakanya nemithombo yemveli yamafutha efosili.

Iikomityi ezintsha ziya kufumaneka kwiindawo zokutyela ezingama-28 zeMcDonald's eGeorgia, eMelika. Kubathengi basekuhlaleni, iMcDonald's icebisa ukuba iikomityi zingahlanjwa zize zibekwe nakweyiphi na ibhini yokulahla inkunkuma. Nangona kunjalo, isiciko kunye neengca eziza neekomityi ezintsha azikwazi ukuphinda zisetyenziswe okwangoku. Iikomityi eziphinda zisetyenziswe, zenza ezinye izinto ezisetyenziswa emva kokuthengwa kwezinye izinto.

IMcDonald's yongeze ngelithi iikomityi ezintsha ezicacileyo ziphantse zifane neekomityi zenkampani ezikhoyo. Abathengi akunakwenzeka ukuba babone umahluko phakathi kweekomityi zeMcDonald's zangaphambili nezintsha.

IMcDonald's iceba ukubonisa ngokusebenzisa iimvavanyo ukuba, njengenye yeenkampani zokutyela ezinkulu kwihlabathi, iMcDonald's izimisele ukutyala imali kwaye ixhase ukuveliswa kwezinto ezisekelwe kwizinto eziphilayo neziphinda zisetyenziswe. Ukongeza, inkampani kuthiwa isebenza ukuphucula amathuba ezinto ezisetyenziswa kwikomityi ngokubanzi.

UMike Nagle, i-CEO ye-INEOS Olefins & Polymers USA, uthe: “Sikholelwa ukuba ikamva lezinto zokupakisha kufuneka libe jikelezi kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Kunye nabathengi bethu, sibanceda bafezekise ukuzinikela kwabo kweli candelo ukubuyisela inkunkuma yeplastiki kwiplastiki engabonakaliyo. Le yindlela yokugqibela yokuphinda isetyenziswe kwaye iya kudala indlela yokwenyani ejikelezileyo.”
