Amathini esiphuzo e-Aluminium abelokhu ekhona kusukela ngawo-1960, nakuba abe nokuncintisana okunzima kusukela kwazalwa amabhodlela epulasitiki kanye nokwanda okuqhubekayo kokukhiqizwa kwamaphakethe epulasitiki. Kodwa muva nje, izinhlobo eziningi zishintshela ezitsheni ze-aluminium, hhayi nje ukubamba iziphuzo.

Ukupakishwa kwe-aluminium kunephrofayili enhle yokusimama uma kubhekwa ukuthi i-carbon footprint yayo iyaqhubeka nokuncipha nokuthi i-aluminium ingaphinda igaywe kabusha ngokungapheli.

Kusukela ngo-2005, imboni ye-aluminium yase-US yehlise ukukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa ngamaphesenti angama-59. Uma ubheka ikakhulukazi ithini lesiphuzo se-aluminium, i-carbon footprint yaseNyakatho Melika yehle ngamaphesenti angu-41 kusukela ngo-2012. Lokhu kuncipha kuqhutshwa kakhulu ukwehla kwamandla ekhabhoni okukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium eyinhloko eNyakatho Melika, amathini alula (27% lighter per ounce ounce uma kuqhathaniswa no-1991 ), kanye nemisebenzi yokukhiqiza esebenza ngempumelelo. Kuphinde kusize ukuthi isiphuzo esimaphakathi se-aluminium esingakhiqizwa e-United States siqukethe okuqukethwe okugaywe kabusha okungamaphesenti angama-73. Ukwenza isiphuzo se-aluminium kuphela ngokuqukethwe okugaywe kabusha kuphela kuhlanganisa ukukhishwa okungamaphesenti angama-80 kunokwenza okukodwa nge-aluminium eyinhloko.
Ukugaywa kabusha kwayo okungapheli, kuhlangene nokuthi amakhaya amaningi anokufinyelela ohlelweni lokugaywa kabusha olwamukela konke ukupakishwa kwe-aluminium uma kuqhathaniswa nenani eliphezulu lezomnotho uma kuqhathaniswa, isisindo esilula, kanye nokuhlukana kalula, yingakho ukupakishwa kwe-aluminium kunamazinga aphezulu okugaywa kabusha futhi kungani amaphesenti angama-75 ayo yonke i-aluminium. esake sakhiqizwa sisasebenza.

Ngo-2020, amaphesenti angama-45 amathini esiphuzo e-aluminium aphinde asetshenziswa e-United States. Lokho kusho ukuthi amathini ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-46.7, noma amathini acishe abe ngu-90,000 agaywa kabusha njalo ngomzuzu. Uma sibeka enye indlela, ama-11-12-pack amathini esiphuzo e-aluminium umuntu ngamunye waseMelika asetshenziswe kabusha e-United States ngo-2020.

Njengoba abathengi befuna ukupakishwa okuzinzile, okuqala ngokusebenza ohlelweni lwanamuhla lokugaywa kabusha, iziphuzo eziningi zishintshela kumathini esiphuzo e-aluminium. Enye indlela yokubona lokho isekukhuleni kwesiphuzo saseNyakatho Melika esethulwa ngamathini esiphuzo e-aluminium. Ngo-2018, bekungamaphesenti angama-69. Ikhuphuke yafinyelela kumaphesenti angama-81 ngo-2021.

Nazi izibonelo ezithile zokushintshwa:

I-University SUNY New Paltz ngo-2020 yaxoxisana nomthengisi wayo wesiphuzo ukuthi imishini yayo yokuthengisa isuke ekunikezeni iziphuzo ngamabhodlela epulasitiki ukuze izinikeze ngamathini e-aluminium kuphela.
I-Danone, i-Coca-Cola, ne-Pepsi seziqala ukunikeza ezinye zemikhiqizo yazo yamanzi ngamathini.
Izinhlobonhlobo zabaphisi botshwala zishintshile zisuka emabhodleleni zaya emathini afana neLakefront Brewery, Anderson Valley Brewing Company, kanye ne-Alley Kat Brewing.

Ephepheni lesiphuzo se-aluminium ngaphambili, i-aluminium ingashiza abakhiqizi nesiphuzo abakhiqizi abangamalungu e-CMI ngokuhlangene asethwe ngasekupheleni kuka-2021 isiphuzo se-aluminium sase-US singagaya kabusha okuhlosiwe kwesilinganiso. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukusuka kumaphesenti angama-45 izinga lokuphinda lisetshenziswe ngo-2020 kuya kumaphesenti angama-70 wezinga lokuphinda lisetshenziswe ngo-2030.

I-CMI yabe isishicilela maphakathi no-2022 i-Aluminium Beverage Can Recycling Primer kanye ne-Roadmap, echaza ukuthi lezi zinhloso zizofezwa kanjani. Okubalulekile, i-CMI icacile ukuthi lezi zinhloso ngeke zifezwe ngaphandle kwembuyiselo entsha, eklanywe kahle yokubuyisela kabusha (okungukuthi, izinhlelo zokubuyisela idiphozi yesiqukathi sesiphuzo). Ukumodela okuvezwe embikweni kuthola ukuthi isistimu yembuyiselo eklanywe kahle, kazwelonke yokubuyisela kabusha ingakhuphula isiphuzo se-aluminiyamu sase-US singalinganisa kabusha isilinganiso samaphesenti angama-48.

Ngokuhamba kweminyaka, abantu besithathu abaningi benze izifundo ezizimele eziqhathanisa nomthelela wegesi ebamba ukushisa ehlobene namathini e-aluminium, i-PET (ipulasitiki), namabhodlela engilazi. Cishe kuzo zonke izimo, lezi zifundo zathola ukuthi umjikelezo wempilo wekhabhoni wamathini e-aluminium wesiphuzo uyafana uma ungekho ngaphezu kwe-PET (ngesisekelo se-ounce), futhi kuzo zonke izimo ungcono kunengilazi.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, cishe zonke lezi zifundo zathola ukuthi amathini e-aluminium adlula i-PET (nengilazi) ngokusetshenziswa kwamandla.

Amathini e-aluminium enza kahle kakhulu kune-PET eziphuzweni ezine-carbonated, kodwa i-PET inomthelela ophansi wekhabhoni eziphuzweni ezingezona i-carbonated. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi iziphuzo ezingezona i-carbonated azidingi ipulasitiki eningi njengeziphuzo ze-carbonated.
