Cardboard packaging from algae for environment sustainability

The continued high growth in the use of paper and cardboard will lead to an increase in the demand for wood fiber, creating pressure on the diminishing forest resources. Development of non-wood fibers has been one of strategies to ensure a sustainable fiber supply, including plantation management, reforestation and recycling. Some of alternative fibers are algae that can be used as raw material for papermaking. The Shiro Alga Carta papers made from algae in combination with Forest Stewardship Council certified fibers (FSC - fibers) were used for this research. Offset inks were used in printing have a different quantum of the renewable raw materials. The possibility of reusing fibers was determined by methods of re-pulping (loop I, loop II, loop III). The results of the research contribute to the explanation of the ink/printing substrate interaction on the reuse of the fibers, which takes into the area of the ecological sustainable development.
