Vuba aha, amakuru yemewe yerekanaga ko mubicuruzwa bya pulasitiki bya Vietnam byoherezwa mu mahanga, ibyoherezwa mu bihugu by’Uburayi bingana na 18.2% by’ibyoherezwa mu mahanga. Nk’uko isesengura ribigaragaza, amasezerano y’ubucuruzi bw’ibihugu by’Uburayi na Vietnam (EVFTA), yatangiye gukurikizwa muri Kanama umwaka ushize, yazanye amahirwe mashya yo guteza imbere ibyoherezwa mu mahanga n’ishoramari mu rwego rwa plastiki.

Dukurikije imibare yaturutse mu buyobozi bukuru bwa gasutamo ya Vietnam, mu myaka yashize, ibicuruzwa byoherezwa mu mahanga bya Viyetinamu byiyongereye ku kigereranyo cy’umwaka wa 14% bigera kuri 15%, kandi hari amasoko arenga 150 yohereza mu mahanga. Ikigo mpuzamahanga cy’ubucuruzi cyerekanye ko kuri ubu, ibicuruzwa bya pulasitike by’ubumwe bw’ibihugu by’Uburayi bifite inyungu mu bicuruzwa bitumizwa mu mahanga, ariko kubera ko (ibyo bicuruzwa bitumizwa mu mahanga) bitagengwa n’amahoro yo kurwanya ibicuruzwa (4% kugeza 30%), ibicuruzwa bipfunyika bya pulasitike muri Vietnam biruta ibyo ibyo muri Tayilande, Ibicuruzwa biva mu bindi bihugu nk'Ubushinwa birarushanwa cyane.

Muri 2019, Vietnam yinjiye mubambere 10 batanga plastike hanze yakarere ka EU. Muri uwo mwaka, Umuryango w’ubumwe bw’ibihugu by’Uburayi winjiza ibicuruzwa bya pulasitike muri Vietnam wageze kuri miliyoni 930.6 z'amayero, byiyongereyeho 5.2% umwaka ushize, bingana na 0.4% by’ibihugu by’Uburayi bitumiza mu mahanga ibicuruzwa bya pulasitike. Ahantu h’ibicuruzwa bitumizwa mu Burayi ni Ubudage, Ubufaransa, Ubutaliyani, Ubwongereza n'Ububiligi.

Ibiro bishinzwe kwamamaza ibicuruzwa by’Uburayi n’Amerika muri Minisiteri y’inganda n’ubucuruzi muri Vietnam byavuze ko icyarimwe EVFTA yatangiye gukurikizwa muri Kanama 2020, igipimo cy’imisoro fatizo (6.5%) yakwa ku bicuruzwa byinshi bya pulasitike byo muri Vietnam byagabanutse kugera kuri zeru, kandi sisitemu yo kwishyiriraho ibiciro ntabwo yashyizwe mu bikorwa. Kugirango wishimire ibiciro, abatumiza ibicuruzwa muri Vietnam bo muri Vietnam bagomba kubahiriza amategeko y’ibihugu by’Uburayi, ariko amategeko y’inkomoko akoreshwa kuri plastiki n’ibicuruzwa bya pulasitike biroroshye, kandi ababikora barashobora gukoresha ibikoresho bigera kuri 50% badatanga icyemezo cy’inkomoko. Kubera ko Vietnam ikora amasosiyete ya pulasitike yo mu gihugu ikomeje gushingira ku bicuruzwa bitumizwa mu mahanga, amategeko yoroheje yavuzwe haruguru azoroshya kohereza ibicuruzwa bya pulasitike mu bihugu by’Uburayi. Kugeza ubu, Vietnam itanga ibikoresho byo mu gihugu bingana na 15% kugeza 30% byibyo isabwa.Nuko rero, inganda za plastiki zo muri Vietnam zigomba gutumiza toni miriyoni za PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropilene) na PS (polystirene) nibindi bikoresho.

Biro yavuze kandi ko Umuryango w’ubumwe bw’ibihugu by’Uburayi ukoresha PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bipfunyika bya pulasitike bigenda byiyongera, bikaba ari bibi ku nganda za plastiki zo muri Vietnam. Ni ukubera ko ibicuruzwa byapakiwe bikozwe muri plastiki zisanzwe biracyafite igice kinini cyoherezwa hanze.

Icyakora, uwatumije mu mahanga ibicuruzwa bya pulasitike yavuze ko amasosiyete amwe n'amwe yo mu gihugu yatangiye gukora PET kandi ko yitegura kohereza mu masoko akomeye harimo n'Ubumwe bw'Uburayi. Niba ishobora kuba yujuje ibyangombwa bisabwa bya tekinike by’abatumiza mu Burayi, plastiki y’inyongera y’inyongera ishobora no koherezwa mu bihugu by’Uburayi.
