English: Plaid Cymru will also support these regulations today. It's important to say, however, that we are of the view that we should go further in terms of controlling plastics of all types - micro and macro. These are regulations, as has been said already, which relate to materials that are washed off the body, used for personal hygiene products, but that leaves a number of other products - sun cream, for example - where one could still include these microbeads. It's estimated that between 4,000 and 7,500 tonnes of these microplastics are used every annum in the European Union. So, it is a task to get to grips with this plastic. It will start with regulations such as these, but, in my view, it will have to include a broader ban on microplastics, including those in domestic cleaning products, and so on. We are still calling for a levy on single-use plastics, and of course the possibility of a deposit-return scheme is something that should be welcomed, too. Yesterday, I visited another shop - there are a number of plastic-free shops developing across Wales, which shows that the public is ahead of the politicians, because if businesses are pursuing customers, then, clearly, people are interested in this area. This shop, La Vida Verde in Llandrindod Wells, has the old pop bottles with a 30p deposit on them. So, you'll get 30p back when you take your bottle back, which isn't enough inflation, in my opinion. I think it was 5p when I was going through the gullies for the pop bottles many years ago. But it does demonstrate that people are ready for this change. It's also true to say that although we have good recycling rates in Wales, only 44 per cent of the 35 million plastic bottles that are bought every day - that's every day, which is almost a plastic bottle for every adult - only 44 per cent of those are recycled, and a deposit-return scheme could be used to increase that to almost 80 per cent in that area. So, we look forward to hearing more about the discussions happening between the Government here and the Government in Westminster in terms of introducing a scheme of that kind. David Melding mentioned the research at Cardiff University on these microplastics in the environment, which is staggering research, if truth be told. I just want to quote from that. We heard from Professor Steve Ormerod about research on the Irwell river in Manchester, where 0.5 million pieces of microplastic were found for every square metre - that's 0.5 million per square metre. Further research at Cardiff in the river Taff shows that microplastics are entering the food chain and are being found in birds that have been laid by eggs - or rather eggs laid by birds, I should say.
Welsh: Bydd Plaid Cymru hefyd yn cefnogi'r rheoliadau hyn heddiw. Mae'n bwysig i ddweud, serch hynny, ein bod ni o'r farn y dylid mynd ymhellach ynglyn â rheoli plastig o bob math - micro a macro. Dyma'r rheoliadau sydd, fel sydd wedi cael ei amlinellu, yn ymwneud â deunyddiau sy'n cael eu golchi i ffwrdd o'r corff, a'u defnyddio ar gyfer glendid personol, ond mae hynny yn gadael nifer o bethau - mae eli haul, er enghraifft, yn rhywbeth efallai y bydd modd o hyd iddo gynnwys y microbelenni yma. Mae wedi ei amcangyfrif bod yna rhwng 4,000 a 7,500 o dunellau o'r microblastigau yma yn cael eu defnyddio bob blwyddyn yn Ewrop, yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Felly, mae yn dasg i fynd i'r afael â'r plastig yma - tasg sydd yn dechrau gyda rheoliadau fel hyn ond, yn fy marn i, sydd yn gorfod cynnwys gwaharddiad ehangach ar microblastigau, gan gynnwys rhai sydd mewn deunyddiau glanhau o gwmpas y tŷ, ac ati. Rydym ni'n dal i bwyso am lefi ar ddefnydd o blastig un defnydd, ac wrth gwrs mae'r posibiliad am gynllun ernes ar boteli yn rhywbeth i'w groesawu hefyd. Mi wnes i ddoe ymweld â siop arall - mae yna nifer o siopau diblastig yn datblygu dros Gymru nawr, sydd yn dangos bod y cyhoedd o flaen y gwleidyddion, mewn ffordd, achos os yw busnesau yn mynd ar ôl y cwsmeriaid, mae'n amlwg bod pobl yn mynegi diddordeb mewn hyn. Mae'r siop yma, La Vida Verde, yn Llandrindod, lle mae ganddyn nhw yr hen boteli pop gyda 30c o ernes arnyn nhw - blaendal. Felly, fe gewch chi 30c yn ôl am fynd â'r pop yn ôl, sydd ddim yn ddigon o chwyddiant yn fy marn i. Rydw i'n credu yr oedd 5c ar gael pan oeddwn i'n chwilio'r gwlis am y poteli pop yma. Ond mae'n dangos bod pobl yn barod ar gyfer hyn. Mae hefyd yn wir i ddweud, er bod gennym ni ailgylchu da yng Nghymru, dim ond 44 y cant o'r 35 miliwn o boteli plastig sy'n cael eu prynu bob dydd - bob dydd; mae hynny bron yn un botel blastig i bob oedolyn - dim ond 44 y cant o'r rheini sy'n eu hailgylchu, ac mae modd defnyddio cynllun blaendal i gynyddu'r ailgylchu i bron 80 y cant yn y maes yma. Felly, rydym ni'n edrych ymlaen at glywed mwy am y drafodaeth sydd rhwng y Llywodraeth fan hyn a Llywodraeth San Steffan ynglŷn â chyflwyno cynllun o'r math. Fe soniodd David Melding am yr ymchwil ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd am y microblastigau sydd yn yr amgylchedd - ymchwil syfrdanol, a dweud y gwir. Rydw i jest eisiau dyfynnu ychydig o hynny. Fe glywon ni gan yr Athro Steve Ormerod am ymchwil ar yr afon Irwell, sydd ym Manceinion, lle canfuwyd 0.5 miliwn o ddarnau microblastig fesul metr sgwâr. Fesul metr sgwâr, 0.5 miliwn. Mae ymchwil pellach wedyn yng Nghaerdydd ac yn yr afon Taf sydd yn dangos bod microblastigau yn mynd i mewn i'r gadwyn fwyd ac yn ymbresenoli mewn adar wedi'u dodwy gan wyau - wyau wedi'u dodwy gan adar, dylwn i ddweud.
