Sažetak
Natural resources such as minerals, forests, water, oil, wind, and fertile land are materials or substances that are created without human intervention, are essential for human survival, and their potential for economic development. Forests are one of the greatest natural resources that we exploit. Humanity must ask itself how much we are consuming and whether we have enough of every resource on the earth's surface that we are recklessly using. Forest resources are of significant value in the production of a number of raw materials for the pulp and paper industry. Also, by reducing the consumption of synthetic materials, which are environmentally unacceptable, the consumption of natural sources, i.e. lignocellulosic materials, is rapidly increasing in the pulp and paper industry. Wood remains the world's most widely used raw material for the production of pulp and paper, but due to the unreasonable long-term exploitation of this natural resource, its availability has drastically decreased. Considering the reduction of forest areas and the decrease in available wood raw materials, along with the increase in the growth rate of the world's population and its standard of living, the search for new sources of primary cellulose fibers is of great importance for the paper and graphic industry. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, non-woody cellulose fibers were the main raw material for pulp and paper production. The modern phase of paper production beginning in the 18th century with Jakob Christian Schaeffer, who proved that wood could be used as a raw material for paper production. Over the past 40 years, global demand for paper has grown by an average of 4.7% per year. In the future, it is expected that even a possible reduction to 2 to 3% through recycling will not be enough to meet the growing demand for paper, especially in Eastern Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, it is of great importance to consider the use of non-wood cellulose fibers in the development of paper printing materials for the final graphic product to cover the possible deficit in pulp and paper production.The use of non-wood fibers in the printing substrates enables the creation of additional values for the resulting graphic products such as packaging, labels, stickers, which are produced using modern and conventional printing techniques.
