UMcDonald uzozama izinkomishi zepulasitiki ezenziwe ngezinto ezisetshenziswe kabusha nezisekelwe ezintweni eziphilayo.

I-McDonald's izosebenzisana nabalingani bayo i-INEOS, i-LyondellBasell, kanye nomhlinzeki wezixazululo ze-polymer ezivuselelekayo ze-feedstock uNeste, kanye nomhlinzeki wokupakisha ukudla neziphuzo waseNyakatho Melika uPactiv Evergreen, ukusebenzisa indlela elinganiselayo yokukhiqiza izixazululo Ezisetshenziswe Kabusha, ukukhiqizwa kokulinga kwezinkomishi zepulasitiki ezicacile ezivela epulasitikini ethengiwe ngemuva kokusetshenziswa kanye nezinto ezisekelwe ku-bio ezifana namafutha okupheka asetshenzisiwe.

Ngokusho kukaMcDonald's, indebe yepulasitiki ecacile iyinhlanganisela yepulasitiki esetshenziswa ngemva kokuthengwa kanye nezinto ezisetshenziswa eziphilayo ezingama-50:50. Le nkampani ichaza izinto ezisetshenziswa eziphilayo njengezinto ezithathwe ku-biomass, njengezitshalo, kanye namafutha okupheka asetshenzisiwe azofakwa kulesi sigaba.

I-McDonald's ithe izinto zizohlanganiswa ukuze kukhiqizwe izinkomishi ngendlela yokulinganisela isisindo, ezoyivumela ukuthi ilinganise futhi ilandelele okokufaka kwezinto ezisetshenziswe kabusha nezisekelwe ezintweni eziphilayo ezisetshenziswa kule nqubo, kuyilapho ihlanganisa nemithombo yamandla endabuko.

Izinkomishi ezintsha zizotholakala ezindaweni zokudlela ezingu-28 zeMcDonald's eGeorgia, e-USA. Kubathengi bendawo, iMcDonald's incoma ukuthi izinkomishi zingahlanzwa futhi zifakwe kunoma yiliphi ibhodlela lokusebenzisa kabusha. Kodwa-ke, izivalo kanye notshani oluhambisana nezinkomishi ezintsha okwamanje azikwazi ukuphinda zisetshenziswe. Izinkomishi eziphinde zisetshenziswe kabusha, okudala izinto eziningi ezisetshenziswa ngemva kokusetshenziswa kwezinye izinto.

I-McDonald's yengeze ngokuthi izinkomishi ezintsha ezicacile zicishe zifane nezinkomishi zenkampani ezikhona. Abathengi cishe ngeke babone umehluko phakathi kwezinkomishi ze-McDonald's zangaphambilini nezintsha.

I-McDonald's ihlose ukukhombisa ngezivivinyo ukuthi, njengenye yezinkampani zokudlela ezinkulu emhlabeni, i-McDonald's izimisele ukutshala imali nokusekela ukukhiqizwa kwezinto ezisekelwe ezintweni eziphilayo nezingasetshenziswa kabusha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kubikwa ukuthi inkampani isebenza ukuthuthukisa amathuba ezinto ezisetshenziswa enkomishini ngezinga elibanzi.

UMike Nagle, i-CEO ye-INEOS Olefins & Polymers USA, uphawule wathi: “Sikholelwa ukuthi ikusasa lezinto zokupakisha kudingeka libe yindilinga ngangokunokwenzeka. Sikanye namakhasimende ethu, sibasiza ukuba bafeze ukuzibophezela kwabo kule ndawo ekubuyiseleni imfucuza yepulasitiki kupulasitiki engeyona ipulasitiki. Incazelo ephelele yokuvuselela kabusha futhi izodala indlela yangempela eyindilinga.”
