Igiciro cyikubye kabiri, kandi muri iki cyumweru hazatangizwa ikiguzi cy'amasashe ya pulasitiki ya 10p

Bitewe n’ibiciro by’imizigo byapimwe, umuntu usanzwe mu Bwongereza ubu agura imifuka ine gusa yapimwe rimwe mu maduka manini ku mwaka, ugereranyije na 140 mu 2014. Mu kongera ibiciro ku bacuruzi bose, biteganijwe ko umubare w’imifuka yo gutwaramo ikoreshwa mu gihe cyo gukoresha mu bigo bito n’ibiciriritse uzagabanukaho 70-80%.
Saba abacuruzi bato bo mu majyaruguru y'uburengerazuba kwitegura impinduka mbere yuko zitangira gushyirwa mu bikorwa ku ya 21 Gicurasi. Bihurirana n'ubushakashatsi bwagaragaje ko aya mafaranga yatewe inkunga ikomeye n'abaturage - 95% by'abaturage bo mu Bwongereza bemera inyungu nyinshi ku bidukikije kugeza ubu.
Minisitiri w’ibidukikije Rebecca Pow yagize ati: “Ishyirwa mu bikorwa ry’amafaranga y’amasenti 5 ryagenze neza cyane, kandi kugurisha amasashe ya pulasitiki yangiza mu maduka manini byagabanutseho 95%.
“Tuzi ko tugomba gukora byinshi kugira ngo turinde ibidukikije byacu n’inyanja, niyo mpamvu ubu turimo kongerera aya mafaranga ubucuruzi bwose.”
“Ndasaba abacuruzi b’ingano zose gukora ibishoboka byose kugira ngo biteguye guhangana n’impinduka kuko tuzafatanya kugira ngo tugere ku bidukikije bishimishije kandi dukomeze ibikorwa byacu bikomeye ku isi mu kurwanya icyorezo cy’imyanda ya pulasitiki.”
James Lowman, Umuyobozi Mukuru w’Ishyirahamwe ry’Amaduka Agezweho, yagize ati: “Twishimiye ko amaduka yo mu gace n’andi masosiyete mato ashyirwa muri gahunda nziza yo gushyushya amasashe ya pulasitiki, atari byiza gusa ku bidukikije, ahubwo ni n’uburyo abacuruzi bashobora gukusanya inkunga. Ni byiza ko imiryango y’abagiraneza yo mu gace n’iyo mu gihugu hose ikora neza.”

Raporo iherutse gusohorwa n'umuryango w'abagiraneza WRAP yagaragaje ko imyumvire y'abantu ku bijyanye n'amasashe ya pulasitiki yahindutse kuva ibirego bya mbere byavuzwe.
Ubwo amafaranga yatangwaga bwa mbere, abantu hafi barindwi ku icumi (69%) “bemeye cyane” cyangwa “gato” ayo mafaranga, none ubu yariyongereyeho 73%.
Abakiriya barimo guhindura umuco wo gukoresha amasashe aramba akozwe mu bikoresho birambye kandi bitangiza ibidukikije. Mu bantu babajijwe, bibiri bya gatatu (67%) bavuze ko bakoresheje "isashe y'ubuzima" (imyenda cyangwa plastiki ikomeye) kugira ngo bajyane guhaha mu rugo, mu iduka rinini ry'ibiribwa, kandi 14% gusa by'abantu bakoresha amasashe akoreshwa mu gihe cyo kuyakoresha.

Iri ni igabanuka rikomeye kuva aho ikiguzi gishyizwe mu bikorwa mu 2014, aho abantu barenga kabiri (57%) bavuze ko bashaka gukuramo imifuka ya pulasitiki mu mifuka ya pulasitiki. Muri icyo gihe, abarenga kimwe cya kabiri (54%) bavuze ko batwaye imizigo mike mu bubiko.
Hafi kimwe cya kabiri (49%) cy'abantu bari hagati y'imyaka 18 na 34 bavuga ko nibura bagura amasakoshi nibura mu gihe runaka, mu gihe abantu barenga kimwe cya cumi (11%) cy'abantu barengeje imyaka 55 bazayagura.
Kuva aya mafaranga yashyirwa mu bikorwa, uyu mucuruzi yatanze arenga miliyoni 150 z'amapawundi ku miryango y'abagiraneza, serivisi z'ubukorerabushake, imiryango y'abagiraneza mu rwego rw'ibidukikije n'ubuzima.
