I-Senate yase-US iphakamisa umthetho!I-EPS ayivumelekanga ukuba isetyenziswe kwiimveliso zenkonzo yokutya, ii-coolers, njl.

Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) baye bazisa umthetho ofuna ukuvala ukusetyenziswa kwe-polystyrene eyandisiweyo (EPS) kwiimveliso zenkonzo yokutya, i-coolers, i-fillers ekhululekile kunye nezinye iinjongo.Umthetho, owaziwa ngokuba yiFarewell Bubble Act, uya kuthintela ukuthengiswa okanye ukuhanjiswa kwegwebu le-EPS kwilizwe liphela kwiimveliso ezithile nge-1 kaJanuwari 2026.
Abameli bokuvalwa kwe-EPS yokusetyenziswa okukodwa bakhomba kwi-foam yeplastiki njengomthombo we-microplastics kwimo engqongileyo kuba ayichithi ngokupheleleyo.Nangona i-EPS iphinda isetyenziswe, ayimkelwa ngokubanzi ziiprojekthi ezisecaleni kwendlela ngenxa yokuba azinasakhono sokuphinda zisetyenziswe.
Ngokwemiqathango yokunyanzeliswa, ukuphulwa kokuqala kuya kubangela isaziso esibhaliweyo.Ukwaphulwa okulandelayo kuya kuhlawuliswa i-$ 250 kwityala lesibini, i-$ 500 kwityala lesithathu, kunye ne-$ 1,000 kwityala ngalinye lesine kunye nelandelayo.

Ngaphandle kwezi zithintelo, imfuno ye-styrofoam kulindeleke ukuba ikhule ngeepesenti ze-3.3 ngonyaka nge-2026, ngokwengxelo.Esinye sezona zicelo ziphambili zokuqhuba ukukhula kukugquma kwasekhaya - into ekhoyo ngoku ithatha phantse isiqingatha sazo zonke iiprojekthi zokugquma.
