Use of Renewable Milk Raw Materials in the Printing and Related Industries

Nowdays, there is a growing desire to increase the use of renewable materials in the production process materials and by reducing pollution during the production process in which they are used. Synthetic and non-renewable raw materials do not affect the environment only in the phase of production of products but also in printing proces and after of use of products. In the graphic industry mentioned materials affect to printability, recyclability, and biodegradability. Synthetic polymers fill the paper pores and/or form a layer at the surface of the paper, causing a loss of part of the raw material in recovery or recycling process. Biopolymers as naturally renewable resources are increasingly used in graphic materials. One of the important raw materials are milk proteins casein and whey, which, in addition to sustainability, also give good qualitative properties graphical materials. The mentioned raw material has its use in paper coatings, inks, and adhesives.
