政府邀请新西兰人对新的废物战略提案和新的废物立法方案发声提议。 环境部长大卫·帕克（David Parker）今天表示：减少浪费是所有新西兰人尤其是年轻的新西兰人都应非常关心的问题之一。
新西兰是世界上人均废物产生者最多的国家之一。平均每个新西兰人每年向垃圾填埋场发送大约750公斤的垃圾，其中大部分可以回收、再加工或再利用。
2019年，废物占新西兰温室气体排放总量的4%左右，占其生物甲烷排放量的9%左右。新西兰人需要求改变，我们可以做得更好。我们需要赶上那些国家，然后继续向前迈进”。 大卫·帕克(David Parker)今天发表了题为”为我们的废物负责”的咨询文件，该文件寻求对新的国家废物战略的反馈，该战略为未来30年设定了大胆的新方向。 政府致力于建设低碳循环经济。我们已经采取了一些重要步骤，包括禁止一次性塑料袋，以及逐步淘汰其他一次性和难以回收的塑料的计划。我们还在投资新的基础设施，以支持资源回收工作和资助项目，重新构想我们如何制造、使用和处置塑料。 我们迫切需要改变我们在新西兰的材料和管理材料和废物的方式，每个人都可以发挥作用，尽量减少废物及其对环境的影响。我们未来十年的重点是确保我们拥有正确的基础。拟议的战略旨在：
· 确保数据、法规和战略到位，以进行变革。· 使资源回收和循环系统工作良好。
· 减少有机废物的排放。
· 激发创新，重新设计，以促进长期变革。· 了解修复过去损坏的规模和最佳方法，以及建立长期信息和教育方案。
大卫·帕克( David Parker) 说：”该战略还将设定到 2030 年减少废物总量、废物产生的甲烷排放和垃圾排放的目标。反馈将有助于制定改革的最终建议。一旦制定，新的立法将取代2008年《废物最小化法》和1979年《垃圾法》”。 新立法的建议包括建立护理责任模式（用于其他司法管辖区），以改进我们处理不需要的材料的方式，为废物管理行业建立国家许可证制度，加强鼓励变革的现有监管工具，以及立法如何支持产品管理计划。
大卫·帕克说：(David Parker)”我们正在设计新的废物立法，以支持新西兰需要的转型”。 咨询将由六周直至2021年11月26日。环境部网站上有咨询文件和提交表格：https://consult.environment.govt.nz/waste/taking-responsibility-for-our-waste
Kiwis to have their say on plan to reduce waste
New Zealanders are invited to have their say on proposals for a new waste strategy and options for new waste legislation.
“Reducing waste is one of the issues all New Zealanders – especially younger Kiwis – care deeply about,” Environment Minister David Parker said today
“New Zealand is one of the highest generators of waste per person in the world. On average, every year each New Zealander sends approximately 750kgs of waste to landfill, and much of this could be recycled, re-processed or reused.
“In 2019, waste contributed about 4 per cent of Aotearoa New Zealand’s total greenhouse gas emissions and around 9 per cent of its biogenic methane emissions. We can do better, and New Zealanders are demanding change.
“We need to catch up with those countries showing the way, and then move forward.”
David Parker today released the consultation paper “Taking responsibility for our waste”, which seeks feedback on a new national waste strategy that sets a bold new direction for the next three decades.
“The Government is committed to building a low carbon, circular economy. We have already taken some important steps including banning single-use plastic bags and our plan to phase out other single-use and hard-to-recycle plastics. We are also investing in new infrastructure to support resource recovery efforts and funding projects to reimagine how we make, use and dispose of plastics.
“We urgently need to change the way we think about and manage materials and waste in Aotearoa New Zealand – and everyone has a role to play to minimise waste and its impact on the environment.
“Our focus for the next decade is ensuring that we have the right foundations in place. The proposed strategy seeks to:
· Ensure the data, regulations and strategy are in place for transformational change
· Get resource recovery and recycling systems working well
· Reduce emissions from organic waste
· Stimulate innovation and redesign for long-term change
· Understand the scale and best approach for remediating past damage, and
· Establish long-term information and education programmes
“The strategy will also set targets to reduce total waste volumes, methane emissions from waste, and litter by 2030,” David Parker said.
Feedback will help shape the final proposals for reform. Once developed, new legislation will replace the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 and Litter Act 1979.
Proposals for the new legislation include building on the duty-of-care model (used in other jurisdictions) to improve how we deal with unwanted material, a national licensing system for the waste management industry, enhancing the existing regulatory tools to encourage change, and how legislation supports product stewardship schemes.
“We are designing new waste legislation that will support the transformation New Zealand needs,” David Parker said.
Consultation will run for six weeks until 26 November 2021. The consultation document and submission forms are available on the Ministry for the Environment’s website: https://consult.environment.govt.nz/waste/taking-responsibility-for-our-waste
