Embonini yezicathulo, izinto zokunamathela zingenye yezinto ezibalulekile ezinquma ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo nokusebenza kahle kokukhiqiza. Njengoba imboni yezicathulo yomhlaba wonke iqhubekela phambili ezindlekweni-zempumelelo, ubungane bemvelo, kanye nokusebenza okuphezulu, ukuqamba okusha kwezobuchwepheshe kuzinto zokunamathisela izicathulo kuba yinkinga ebalulekile emkhakheni wezohwebo wamazwe ngamazwe.
Izinamatheliso zezicathulo zendabuko zisuselwe kwi-solvent{{0}. Nakuba ziphansi ngezindleko, zihlushwa ukukhishwa okuphezulu kwe-volatile organic compound (VOC) kanye nokusebenza kabi kwemvelo. Eminyakeni yakamuva,{3}izinto ezinamathelayo ezisekelwe emanzini kanye nezinamatheliso ezishisayo{4}}ezincibilikayo ziye zaba yinsakavukela emakethe ngenxa ye-VOC ephansi futhi-ezingezona ubuthi. Izinto ezinamathelayo{{7}ezisuselwa ku-polyurethane emanzini, ikakhulukazi, zithole ukusetshenziswa okusabalele kwezemidlalo nasezicathulweni ezingajwayelekile ngenxa yokumelana kwazo okuhle nokuguquguquka kwamanzi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-adhesives ashisayo-ancibilikayo, alulapheka ngokushesha futhi ancibiliki{10}}imvelo yawo ekhululekile, aya ngokuya ezuzisa emigqeni yokukhiqiza ezenzakalelayo, aqhubekisela phambili intuthuko yokukhiqiza okuhlakaniphile embonini yezicathulo.
Emhlabeni jikelele, i-Asia isalokhu ingumthengi omkhulu kakhulu wezinto zokunamathisela izicathulo. Ukwanda okuqhubekayo kwezimboni zezicathulo emazweni anjenge-China, Vietnam, ne-India kuye kwaqhubeza ukukhula okuqhubekayo kwesidingo sokunamathela. Izimakethe zaseYurophu nezaseMelika zigcizelela kakhulu ukuhambisana nemithetho yezemvelo, okwenza abahlinzeki bempahla bathuthukise imikhiqizo eluhlaza ehlangabezana nezindinganiso ezifana ne-REACH ne-LEED. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imboni yezicathulo iyadlondlobala ezimakethe ezisafufusa njenge-Afrika kanye neNingizimu Melika, ihlinzeka ngamathuba amasha okukhula kwabathengisa izinto ezinamathelayo kwamanye amazwe.
Ezinkampanini zohwebo lwangaphandle, ukuqonda izitayela zobuchwepheshe kanye nesidingo semakethe sokunamathela kwezicathulo kubalulekile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abahlinzeki badinga ukuqhubeka nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza komkhiqizo, njengokuthuthukisa{1}}ukumelana nezinga lokushisa eliphezulu nokumelana nokuguga, ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo{2}}zokwenziwa kwezicathulo eziphezulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, badinga ukukhuphula ukutshalwa kwezimali ocwaningweni nasekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe obungayingeni imvelo ukuze bazivumelanise nemithetho eqinile yezemvelo yomhlaba wonke. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuphathwa kwe-supply chain okuguquguqukayo kanye namakhono esevisi yendawo sekuyinto ebalulekile ezinkampanini ukuba zivelele emqhudelwaneni wamazwe ngamazwe.
Ngokuzayo, njengoba imboni yezicathulo ithuthukela-ekusebenzeni okuphezulu kanye nentuthuko esimeme, ukuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe bokunamathela ezicathulweni kuzoqhubeka nokusheshisa. Abasebenzi bezohwebo bakwamanye amazwe kumele baqaphe ngokucophelela ukuthambekela kwezimakethe, babeke eqhulwini ukuqanjwa kabusha kwezobuchwepheshe kanye nezidingo zamakhasimende, futhi babambe amathuba amasha avezwa ukuthuthukiswa kwemboni yomhlaba wonke yokukhiqiza izicathulo.
