Ishishini lokubumba le-pulp liphuhlise ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-80 kwamanye amazwe ahambele phambili. Okwangoku, imboni ye-pulp yokubumba inezinga elikhulu eCanada, eUnited States, eBrithani, eFransi, eDenmark, eNetherlands, eJapan, e-Iceland, eSingapore nakwamanye amazwe. Phakathi kwabo, i-Bhritane, i-Iceland kunye ne-Canada zinamanani amakhulu kunye netekhnoloji yokuvuthwa.

Ishishini le-China pulp yokubumba laqala emva kwexesha. Ngo-1984, i-Hunan pulp molding General Factory yase China Packaging Corporation yatyala imali engaphezulu kwe-10 yezigidi ze-yuan e-Xiangtan, e-Hunan, yazisa ngegubu elijikelezayo lokuvelisa umgca we-pulp yokubumba ovela kwinkampani ye-El yaseFrance, esetyenziselwa imveliso yeqanda, leyo sisiqalo kushishino yintlama ukubumba China.

Ngo-1988, imveliso yokuqala yokubumba i-pulp eyenziwe yi-China yaqaliswa, iphelisa imbali yokuthembela ekungeniseni izixhobo zokubumba.

Phambi konyaka we-1993, iimveliso zobumba ezibunjiweyo zase China ubukhulu becala zazizitreyi zeenkukhu, itreyi yebhiya kunye netreyi yeziqhamo. Iimveliso zazingatshatanga kwaye zikwinqanaba eliphantsi. Zasasazwa ikakhulu eShaanxi, Hunan, Shandong, Hebei, Henan nakumaphondo asempuma mpuma.

Ukusukela ngo-1993, ngenxa yentshukumo esempuma yeshishini lokulungisa umhlaba, iimveliso zokuthumela ngaphandle kwamashishini angaphandle e-China zifuna ukusetyenziswa kokupakishwa kwendalo. Iimveliso ze-Pulp ezibunjiweyo zaqala ukukhula zangumgubo wokukhusela izixhobo zombane, izixhobo zekhaya, izixhobo kunye neemitha, izixhobo zekhompyutha, izixhobo zonxibelelwano, ukutya, iziyobisi, izinto zokuthambisa, izinto zokudlala, iimveliso zezolimo, izinto eziyimfuneko mihla le, ukukhanya kunye nezinye iimveliso zeshishini. Ekuqhubeni kokusebenza kwephakheji, inokuthelekiswa neeplastikhi ezimhlophe zegwebu (i-EPS) kuluhlu oluthile, kwaye ixabiso lisezantsi kunaleyo yokupakisha i-EPS yangaphakathi, eya kuthi yamkelwe kungekudala kwimarike. Kuqala, ikhule ngokukhawuleza eGuangdong, emva koko yaya eMpuma nakuMantla e-China.
