Umbiko wakamuva we-United Nations Environment Programme ubonisa ukuthi amazwe angu-127 emhlabeni wonke asebenzise izilawuli zokunciphisa ipulasitiki. Amakhefi angaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi, izindlu zezivakashi, namahhotela ayeka ukusebenzisa{2}}izinkomishi zephepha kanye nemikhono yepulasitiki yokufaka izinto. Izinkomishi eziphindwe kabili-ezifakwe ngodonga zihlangabezana kahle nezindleko-zezidingo zokunciphisa izimo zentengiso. Isakhiwo esingenalutho esiphindwe kabili{7}}esibiyelwe sihlinzeka ngokufakwa kwemvelo kwemvelo, okuqeda isidingo sokuthi izitolo zithenge imikhono yokufaka amaphepha, okungenzeka kunciphise izindleko ezisebenzisekayo ezilahlwayo ngo-30% esikhathini eside. Izinto ezibonakalayo eziphezulu ze-borosilicate zingagaywa kabusha iminyaka engaphezu kwemi-5, ziqondaniswe ngokugcwele nemiqondo yokusetshenziswa eqhubekayo yabathengi baseYurophu nabaseMelika. Bangaphezu kuka-60% abathengi baphesheya kwezilwandle bazimisele ukukhokha iprimiyamu ecishe ibe ngu-15% yezingilazi ezilungele imvelo nezisebenziseka kabusha. Ngokombono wokuhlukaniswa kwemakethe, izimakethe eziphezulu{15}}e-Europe nase-America zikhetha i-minimalist, zibamba{16}}izinkomishi ezinezindonga eziphindwe kancane{17} kanye namasethi esivalo se-bamboo/wood, ngokuyinhloko eqondise itiye lasekhaya lantambama nezilungiselelo zekhofi yasehhovisi. Ezifundeni ezibandayo zase-Russia kanye nase-Asia Emaphakathi, ama-oda ezinkomishi ezigxiliwe, izibambo{19}}ezihlonyiswe{20}ezikabili{20}ezibiyelwe kabili akhula ngokushesha, okubonisa isidingo esinamandla seziphuzo ezishisayo ebusika. Ubufakazi bokuqhuma{22}, izinga lokushisa{23}}okumelana nengilazi ephezulu ye-borosilicate kulungele{24}}ukufanelekela ukushintsha isiphuzo esishisayo nesibandayo. E-Southeast Asia nase-Middle East,{26}}inani eliphezulu, amasethi ezipho ayisisekelo athengiswa kahle, ikakhulukazi okuphuza nsuku zonke nezipho zamaholide.
Abathengisi-abawela imingcele babika ukuthi{1}}izinkomishi zengilazi ezivalwe ngezindonga ezikabili zinikeza inzuzo ebonakalayo; i-interlayer engenalutho idala isiphuzo esimisiwe, okuholela{2}}ezithombeni zekhwalithi ephezulu zama-latte agqinsiwe nezitiya zezithelo, okuholela emazingeni aphezulu okuguqulwa kumapulatifomu evidiyo amafushane uma kuqhathaniswa nezinkomishi zamanzi ezijwayelekile. Izimboni zasekhaya ngasikhathi sinye zithuthukisa izinqubo zokukhiqiza eziluhlaza, zikhulisa ingxenye yezingilazi zikadoti ezigaywe kabusha, futhi zisebenzisa amabhokisi ephepha e-kraft angaboli ukupakisha, ukuhlangabezana namazinga wokunikeza isitifiketi "{4}}womkhiqizo onobungane" wezinkundla zaphesheya kanye nokuthola ithrafikhi ekhethwayo.
Idatha yemboni ibikezela ukuthi usayizi wemakethe yomhlaba wonke weziqukathi zesiphuzo sengilazi ezikwazi ukumelana nokushisa uzodlula u-US$7.6 webhiliyoni ngo-2026. Isigaba esiphindwe kabili-esivalekile sikhula ngesilinganiso esingamaphesenti angu-4 ngaphezu kwesilinganiso somkhakha. Siqhutshwa izinqubomgomo zemvelo, lesi sigaba sizoqhubeka sishintsha iziqukathi zepulasitiki neziphuzo ezilahlwayo zephepha, zibe umshayeli wesikhathi eside-wokukhula kokuthunyelwa ngaphandle{7}}okuqondiswa nsuku zonke{8}}kukusebenzisa i-glassware.
