Endleleni yesikhathi eside yokufinyelela izinga eliphezulu lekhabhoni kanye nokungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni, amabhizinisi amakhemikhali omhlaba wonke abhekene nezinselele ezinkulu kanye namathuba okuguqulwa, futhi akhiphe izinhlelo zokuguqulwa kwamasu kanye nokuhlela kabusha.
Esibonelweni sakamuva, inkampani enkulu yamakhemikhali yaseBelgium eneminyaka engu-159 ubudala iSolvay imemezele ukuthi izohlukana ibe yizinkampani ezimbili ezibhaliswe ngokuzimela.
Kungani kufanele kuhlukaniswe?
I-Solvay yenze uchungechunge lwezinguquko ezinkulu eminyakeni yamuva nje, kusukela ekuthengisweni kwebhizinisi layo lemithi kuya ekuhlanganisweni kwe-Rhodia ukuze kudalwe i-Solvay entsha kanye nokuthengwa kwe-Cytec. Lo nyaka uletha uhlelo lwakamuva lokuguqula.
