Umbiko wakamuva womkhiqizi wezingilazi waseCosta Rican, umkhangisi kanye ne-recycler Central American Glass Group ubonisa ukuthi ngo-2021, amathani engilazi angaphezu kuka-122,000 azophinde asetshenziswe e-Central America naseCaribbean, okuwukunyuka okungamathani angaba ngu-4,000 kusukela ngo-2020, okulingana nezigidi ezingu-345. izitsha zengilazi. Ukugaywa kabusha, isilinganiso sonyaka sokugaywa kabusha kwezingilazi sesidlule amathani ayi-100,000 iminyaka emi-5 elandelanayo.
I-Costa Rica iyizwe elise-Central America elenze umsebenzi ongcono wokukhuthaza ukugaywa kabusha kwezingilazi. Selokhu kwethulwa uhlelo olubizwa nge- “Green Electronic Currency” ngo-2018, ukuqwashisa ngemvelo kwabantu baseCosta Rican kuye kwathuthukiswa, futhi babambe iqhaza elibonakalayo ekusetshenzisweni kabusha kwengilazi. Ngokohlelo, ngemva kokubhalisa ababambiqhaza, bangathumela imfucuza egaywe kabusha, kuhlanganise namabhodlela engilazi, kunoma yiziphi izikhungo zokuqoqa ezigunyaziwe ezingu-36 ezweni lonke, bese bengathola imali ehambisanayo ye-electronic eluhlaza, futhi basebenzise imali ye-elekthronikhi ukushintshanisa imikhiqizo ehambisanayo, amasevisi, njll. Kusukela kwaqaliswa uhlelo, abasebenzisi ababhalisiwe abangaphezu kuka-17,000 kanye nezinkampani zozakwethu ezingaphezu kuka-100 ezinikeza izaphulelo namaphromoshini zibambe iqhaza. Njengamanje, kunezikhungo zokuqoqa ezingaphezu kuka-200 e-Costa Rica ezilawula ukuhlungwa nokudayiswa kwemfucuza egaywa kabusha futhi enikezela ngezinsizakalo zokugaywa kabusha kwezingilazi.
Imininingwane efanelekile ikhombisa ukuthi kwezinye izifunda zaseCentral America, izinga lokuphinda ligaywe kabusha kwamabhodlela engilazi angena emakethe ngo-2021 liphezulu kakhulu lifinyelela ku-90%. Ukuze kuqhutshekwe nokukhuthaza ukubuyiswa kwezingilazi kanye nokugaywa kabusha, i-Nicaragua, i-El Salvador namanye amazwe ahlele ngokulandelana imisebenzi eyahlukene yokufundisa neyokukhuthaza ukukhombisa umphakathi izinzuzo eziningi zokuvuselela izinto zengilazi. Amanye amazwe ethule umkhankaso othi “Ingilazi Endala Yengilazi Entsha”, lapho izakhamuzi zingathola khona ingilazi entsha yawo wonke amakhilogremu angu-5 (cishe amakhilogremu angu-2.27) wezinto zengilazi ezizinikezayo. Umphakathi ubambe iqhaza ngenkuthalo futhi umphumela waba muhle. Izazi zemvelo zendawo zikholelwa ukuthi ingilazi iyindlela yokupakisha enenzuzo kakhulu, futhi ukugaywa kabusha okugcwele kwemikhiqizo yengilazi kungakhuthaza abantu ukuba bahlakulele umkhuba wokunaka ukuvikelwa kwemvelo kanye nokusetshenziswa okusimeme.
Ingilazi iyinto eguquguqukayo. Ngenxa yezakhiwo zayo ezibonakalayo namakhemikhali, izinto zengilazi zingancibilika futhi zisetshenziswe unomphela. Ukuze kuthuthukiswe intuthuko esimeme yemboni yengilazi yomhlaba wonke, u-2022 uqokwe njengoNyaka Wengilazi Wamazwe Ngamazwe WeZizwe Ezihlangene ngemvume esemthethweni yeseshini yohlu lwezikhalazo zoMhlangano Jikelele Wezizwe Ezihlangene. Isazi sezokuvikela imvelo saseCosta Rica u-Anna King uthe ukugaywa kabusha kwezingilazi kunganciphisa ukumbiwa kwezinto ezingavuthiwe zengilazi, kunciphise ukukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide nokuguguleka kwenhlabathi, futhi kube nomthelela ekulweni nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Wethule ukuthi ibhodlela lengilazi lingasetshenziswa kabusha izikhathi ezingama-40 kuye kwezingama-60, ngakho linganciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamabhodlela alahlwayo okungenani angama-40 ezinye izinto, ngaleyo ndlela kwehle ukungcoliswa kweziqukathi ezilahlwayo cishe ngo-97%. “Amandla alondolozwa ngokugaywa kabusha kwebhodlela lengilazi angakhanyisa isibani esingu-100-watt amahora angu-4. Ukugaywa kabusha kwengilazi kuzothuthukisa ukusimama,” kusho u-Anna King.
