I-MONTREAL–(I-BUSINESS WIRE)– Abaphuza ubhiya maduzane bazokwazi ukujabulela isiphuzo sabo esithandwayo emathinini angaphenduki ngokungenamkhawulo kuphela, kodwa enziwe nge-aluminium ekhiqizwa kahle, enekhabhoni ephansi.

I-Rio Tinto kanye ne-Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), isiphisi sotshwala esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, benze ubudlelwano bomhlaba wonke ukuze balethe izinga elisha lamathini e-aluminium aqhubekayo.Okokuqala embonini yeziphuzo ezifakwe ethini, lezi zinkampani ezimbili zisayine i-MOU yokuzibophezela ukusebenzisana nabalingani be-supply chain ukuletha imikhiqizo ye-AB InBev ukumaketha ngamathini enziwe nge-aluminium enekhabhoni ephansi ehlangabezana nezindinganiso zokusimama ezihamba phambili embonini.

Ekuqaleni kugxile eNyakatho Melika, ubudlelwano buzobona i-AB InBev isebenzisa i-aluminium ye-Rio Tinto enekhabhoni ephansi eyenziwe ngamandla avuselelwa ngamanzi kanye nokuqukethwe okugaywe kabusha ukuze kukhiqizwe ikani likabhiya elizinzile.Lokhu kuzonikeza ukuncipha okungenzeka kokukhishwa kwekhabhoni ngamaphesenti angaphezu kuka-30 ngekani ngalinye uma kuqhathaniswa namakani afanayo akhiqizwa namuhla kusetshenziswa amasu okukhiqiza endabuko eNyakatho Melika.

Ubambiswano luzophinde luthuthukise imiphumela evela ekuthuthukisweni kwe-ELYSIS, ubuchwepheshe obuphazamisayo bokuncibilikisa i-carbon aluminium eyiziro.

Amathini okuqala ayizigidi ezingu-1 akhiqizwa ngokubambisana azohlolwa e-United States ku-Michelob ULTRA, uhlobo lobhiya olukhula ngokushesha kakhulu ezweni.

Njengamanje, cishe amaphesenti angama-70 e-aluminium esetshenziswa kumakani e-AB InBev akhiqizwa eNyakatho Melika anokuqukethwe okugaywe kabusha.Ngokumatanisa lokhu okuqukethwe okugaywe kabusha ne-aluminium enekhabhoni ephansi, umdidiyeli wotshwala uzothatha isinyathelo esibalulekile sokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni ochungechungeni lwakhe lokuphasela, okunegalelo elikhulu kakhulu lokukhishwa kwekhabhoni ngomkhakha weketango lentengo lenkampani.

"Sihlala sifuna izindlela ezintsha zokunciphisa i-carbon footprint yethu kulo lonke uchungechunge lwethu lwenani futhi sithuthukise ukusimama kwephakheji yethu ukuze sifinyelele izinhloso zethu zokusimama," kusho u-Ingrid De Ryck, iPhini Likamongameli Wezokuthenga Nokusimama, eNyakatho Melika kwa-AB InBev. .“Ngalobu budlelwano, sizoletha i-aluminium enekhabhoni ephansi phambili nabathengi bethu futhi sakhe imodeli yokuthi izinkampani zingasebenzisana kanjani nabahlinzeki bazo ukuze zenze izinguquko ezintsha nezinengqondo endaweni yethu.”

Isikhulu esiphezulu se-Rio Tinto Aluminium u-Alf Barrios uthe “Lokhu kubambisana kuzolethela amakhasimende e-AB InBev amathini abhanqa ikhabhoni ephansi, i-aluminium ekhiqizwe ngendlela efanele ne-aluminium egaywe kabusha.Sibheke ngabomvu ukusebenzisana ne-AB InBev ukuze siqhubeke nobuholi bethu ku-aluminiyam enomthwalo wemfanelo, ilethe izinto obala kanye nokulandeleka kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nalokho okulindelwe ngabathengi ukuze kufakwe izinto ngendlela eqhubekayo.”
