Mae'r ysgol yn Llandaf yn un o nifer o eco\-ysgolion yng Nghymru, ac mae ei heco\-bwyllgor wedi bod wrthi'n ceisio cynyddu dealltwriaeth o wastraff a lleihau'r defnydd o blastig drwy fentrau fel y 'Dydd Gwener di\-blastig' wythnosol.


Os bydd Cynllun Dychwelyd Ernes yn cael ei gyflwyno yng Nghymru, byddai disgwyl i siopwyr dalu ernes ar gynhwyswyr plastig, gwydr a metel (ac eithrio cynhwyswyr llaeth) a fyddai'n cael ei had\-dalu ar ôl eu dychwelyd.


Roedd y Dirprwy Weinidog wedi annog yr eco\-bwyllgor i ymateb i'r ymgynghoriad sydd wedi'i grynhoi a'i gyhoeddi i bob eco\-ysgol yng Nghymru.


Dywedodd Hannah Blythyn:



> "Ro'n i wedi mwynhau cyfarfod â'r disgyblion ysbrydoledig yn Ysgol Pencae.  Ro'n nhw wedi cynnig eu barn am sut y gallwn ni leihau ein gwastraff plastig a gwella cyfraddau ailgylchu yng Nghymru, a chawson ni drafodaethau defnyddiol am ddefnyddio plastig a chynlluniau dychwelyd ernes.
> 
> 
> "Os gallwn ni wneud gwahardd plastig untro ac ailddefnyddio neu ailgylchu cymaint ag sy'n bosibl yn rhywbeth sy'n ail natur i'r genhedlaeth nesaf, byddwn ni’n gwneud camau breision wrth wella ein hamgylchedd. O ystyried y drafodaeth heddiw, mae'r dyfodol mewn dwylo diogel."


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru hefyd yn rhan o ymgynghoriad arall yn y DU ar Gyfrifoldeb Estynedig Cynhyrchwyr am ddeunydd pacio. Mae hwnnw'n anelu at sicrhau bod cynhyrchwyr yn ysgwyddo costau rheoli gwastraff y cynhyrchion y maent yn eu cyflwyno i'r farchnad, yn unol ag egwyddor 'y llygrwr sy'n talu'. Mae Llywodraeth y DU hefyd yn ymgynghori ar dreth ar gynhyrchu a mewnforio deunydd pacio plastig nad yw'n cynnwys o leiaf 30% o blastig wedi'i ailgylchu.


Ychwanegodd y Dirprwy Weinidog:



> “Mae gwastraff plastig a deunydd pacio gwastraff yn faterion pwysig i bawb, nid dim ond i'n plant. Bob blwyddyn yn y DU rydyn ni'n cynhyrchu tua 11 miliwn o dunelli o wastraff pacio, ac mae 2\.3 miliwn o dunnelli o hynny'n wastraff pacio plastig.
> 
> 
> “Yng Nghymru, rydyn ni ar flaen y gad mewn perthynas ag ailgylchu. Ond rydyn ni am wneud mwy, a chymryd camau i leihau maint y deunydd pacio yr ydyn ni'n ei ddefnyddio, gan gymell gwell gynlluniau ar gyfer cynhyrchion a deunydd pacio, er mwyn eu hailddefnyddio neu eu hailgylchu'n hawdd. Gallai hynny ysgogi cyfleoedd economaidd i Gymru a chefnogi ein nod i fod yn economi fwy cylchol."

The Llandaf school is one of Wales’ many eco\-schools and its eco\-committee has been working to increase understanding of waste and reduce its plastic use through initiatives such as the weekly ‘plastic\-free Friday’.


If a DRS is to be introduced in Wales, shoppers would be expected to pay a deposit on plastic, glass and metal drinks containers (excluding milk containers) which would be refunded on return.


The Deputy Minister encouraged the eco\-committee to respond to the consultation which has been summarised and made available to all eco\-schools in Wales.


Hannah Blythyn said:



> “I really enjoyed meeting the inspiring pupils at Ysgol Pencae. They gave me their views about how we can reduce our plastic waste and improve recycling rates in Wales and we had some useful discussions about plastic use and deposit return schemes.
> 
> 
> “If we can make rejecting single use plastic and reusing or recycling as much as possible second nature to the next generation we will make huge strides in improving our environment. Judging by today’s discussion, the future is in safe hands.”


The Welsh Government is also part of another UK\-wide consultation on extended producer responsibility for packaging which aims to ensure that producers bear the waste management cost of the products they place onto the market, in line with the ‘polluter pays’ principle. The UK government is also consulting on a tax on the production and import of plastic packaging that does not contain at least 30% recycled plastic.


The Deputy Minister added:



> “Plastic waste and packaging waste are important issues, for everybody, not just our children. Every year in the UK, we generate around 11 million tonnes of packaging waste as a whole 2\.3 million tonnes of which is plastic packaging waste.
> 
> 
> “In Wales we are world leaders in recycling but we want to go further, we want to take action to minimise the amount of packaging we use, and incentivise better design of products and packaging, so that it can be reused or easily recycled. This could stimulate economic opportunities for Wales and support our aim to become a more circular economy.”
