I-MONTREAL–(I-BUSINESS WIRE)- Abasela ibhiya kungekudala baya kukwazi ukonwabela isiselo sabo esithandwayo kwiitoti ezingaphindi zisetyenziswe kwakhona, kodwa zenziwe ngokuveliswa ngokufanelekileyo, ialuminium enekhabhoni ephantsi.

I-Rio Tinto kunye ne-Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), oyena mdidiyeli mkhulu wehlabathi, benze intsebenziswano yehlabathi ukunikezela ngomgangatho omtsha weetoti ze-aluminiyam ezizinzileyo. Okokuqala kushishino lwesiselo esinkonkxiweyo, ezi nkampani zimbini zityikitye i-MOU ezinikeleyo ekusebenzeni namaqabane ekhonkco lonikezelo ukuzisa iimveliso ze-AB InBev kwintengiso ngeetoti ezenziwe nge-aluminiyam enekhabhoni ephantsi ehlangabezana nemigangatho yozinzo ekhokela ishishini.

Ekuqaleni kugxilwe kuMntla Melika, intsebenziswano iya kubona i-AB InBev isebenzisa ialuminiyam yekhabhoni ephantsi yeRio Tinto eyenziwe ngamandla ombane ahlaziyekayo kunye nomxholo ohlaziyiweyo ukuvelisa inkonkxa yebhiya ezinzileyo. Oku kuya kubonelela ngokunciphisa okunokubakho kokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-30 ngetoti nganye xa kuthelekiswa neetoti ezifanayo eziveliswe namhlanje kusetyenziswa iindlela zemveli zokuvelisa eMntla Melika.

Ubambiswano luya kwandisa iziphumo ezivela kuphuhliso lwe-ELYSIS, iteknoloji ephazamisayo ye-zero carbon aluminiyam yokunyibilikisa.

Iingqayi zokuqala ze-1 eziveliswa ngokubambisana ziya kuhlolwa e-United States kwi-Michelob ULTRA, i-brand yebhiya ekhula ngokukhawuleza kweli lizwe.

Umphathi oyintloko waseRio Tinto u-JS Jacques uthe “iRio Tinto iyakuvuyela ukuqhubeka nokusebenzisana nabathengi kwikhonkco lexabiso ngendlela entsha yokuhlangabezana neemfuno zabo nokunceda ukuvelisa iimveliso ezizinzileyo. Intsebenziswano yethu no-AB InBev luphuhliso lwamva nje kwaye ibonisa umsebenzi omhle weqela lethu lezorhwebo.”

Okwangoku, malunga neepesenti ezingama-70 ze-aluminiyam esetyenziswa kwiitoti ze-AB InBev eziveliswe kuMntla Merika zinomxholo ohlaziyiweyo. Ngokudibanisa lo mxholo uhlaziyiweyo kunye ne-aluminium ephantsi kwekhabhoni, umenzi wotywala uya kuthatha inyathelo eliphambili ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwikhonkco lokubonelela ngokupakisha, elona galelo likhulu lezinto ezikhutshwayo ngokwecandelo kwikhonkco lexabiso lenkampani.

"Sihlala sijonge iindlela ezintsha zokunciphisa unyawo lwethu lwekhabhoni kulo lonke ikhonkco lethu lexabiso kunye nokuphucula ukuzinza kokupakishwa kwethu ukufikelela kwiinjongo zethu zozinzo," utshilo u-Ingrid De Ryck, uSekela Mongameli wokuThenga noZinzo, kuMntla Melika kwaAB InBev. . "Ngolu buhlakani, siza kuzisa i-aluminium enekhabhoni ephantsi ngaphambili kunye nabathengi bethu kwaye senze imodeli yendlela iinkampani ezinokusebenzisana ngayo nababoneleli bazo ukuqhuba utshintsho olubonakalayo nolunentsingiselo kwindawo yethu."

Umlawuli oyintloko we-Aluminiyam yaseRio Tinto u-Alf Barrios uthe “Olu buhlakani luza kuzisa iinkonkxa kubathengi be-AB InBev abadibanisa ikhabhoni ephantsi, ialuminiyam eveliswe ngokufanelekileyo kunye ne-aluminiyam esetyenzisiweyo. Sijonge phambili ekusebenzisaneni no-AB InBev ukuze siqhubeke nobunkokeli bethu kwi-aluminiyam enoxanduva, izisa elubala kunye nokulandeleka kuyo yonke ikhonkco lokubonelela ukuhlangabezana nokulindelwe ngabathengi ukupakisha okuzinzileyo.

Ngobuqabane, u-AB InBev kunye neRio Tinto baza kusebenzisana ukuze badibanise izisombululo zobuchwepheshe obutsha kwikhonkco lonikezelo lomdidiyeli, ukuqhubela phambili inguqulelo yayo ekupakishweni okuzinzileyo nokubonelela ngokulandeleka kwealuminiyam esetyenziswa kwiitoti.
