Kubikwa ukuthi i-tissue paper yase-US igcine izinga eliphezulu lokululama iminyaka eyishumi. Kusukela ngo-2009, izinga lokugaywa kabusha kwephepha lase-US leqe ama-63%, cishe eliphindwe kabili inani lango-1990.
Ngo-2020, ukusetshenziswa kwamabhokisi kathayela amadala (OCC) ezimbonini zaseMelika kwafinyelela amathani ayizigidi ezingama-22.8, kwabeka irekhodi elisha. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izinga lokutholwa kwe-OCC lalingama-88.8%, kanti isilinganiso seminyaka emithathu sasingama-92.4%.
UHeidi Brock, uMongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-American Forest and Paper Association, uthe: “Kulo nyaka ngaphansi kwesizinda sobhubhane olusha lomqhele, cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zephepha zigaywe kabusha zaguqulwa zaba imikhiqizo emisha yokugoqa eqhubekayo. Thina. Ukuqina nokuzinikela kwemboni yokunyathelisa kuyaphawuleka, futhi ukuhlanganyela kwabathengi ohlelweni lokugaywa kabusha kwephepha nakho kubaluleke kakhulu, ngakho iye yakwazi ukugcina izinga eliphezulu kangaka lokugaywa kabusha kwamaphepha.”
Ukugaywa kabusha kwamaphepha alahliwe kungasiza ukunweba impilo yamafayibha, kudale imikhiqizo emisha neqhubekayo yokupakisha esephepheni, futhi kukhuthaze ukuthuthukiswa komnotho oyindilinga.
U-Brock uthe: “Imboni yamaphepha yase-US idlala indima ebalulekile empumelelweni yokugaywa kabusha kwamaphepha ezicubu zesintu. Kusukela ngo-2019 kuya ku-2023, sihlele futhi sasebenzisa amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-4.1 ekutshalweni kwengqalasizinda yokukhiqiza ukuze kube lula ukutshalwa kwezimali emikhiqizweni yethu. Ngokusebenzisa kahle kakhulu imicu esetshenziswe kabusha eChina, isikhundla sethu embonini sihlala siqinile.”
I-American Forest and Paper Association ikhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa okusimeme kwe-pulp yaseMelika, iphepha lokugoqa izipho, ukupakisha, iphepha lezicubu kanye nemboni yokukhiqiza imikhiqizo yezinkuni ngokusebenzisa izinqubomgomo zomphakathi ezisekelwe eqinisweni nemikhankaso yokumaketha. Izinkampani ezingamalungu e-American Forest and Paper Association zisebenzisa izinsiza ezivuselelekayo nezigaywa kabusha ukuze zikhiqize imikhiqizo ebaluleke kakhulu ekuphileni kwansuku zonke, futhi zizibophezele ekwenzeni ngcono okuqhubekayo nokwenza kangcono ngohlelo lwentuthuko esimeme lwale mboni.
Imboni yemikhiqizo yamahlathi ithatha cishe u-4% wesamba se-GDP yemboni yokukhiqiza yase-US, ikhiqiza cishe amabhiliyoni angama-US$300 emikhiqizweni unyaka ngamunye, futhi iqashe cishe abasebenzi abayizi-950,000. Isamba samaholo onyaka embonini cishe ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-55 zamaRandi, okuyenza ibe ngomunye wabaqashi abayishumi abahamba phambili kwezokukhiqiza ezifundazweni ezingama-45.
