As the consumption of paper is increased, the perspective to deal with organic waste is used from agriculture waste. Plant is cultivated for economic importance but the waste creates a problem increasing environmental pollution, hence these wastes are used to make different eco-friendly products, so as to minimize it and use it efficiently. Agriculture waste disposal is a major problem in industries because of cellulose content and high lignin in waste, thus results in pollution and affects the environment, which are very difficult to degrade. Agricultural residues of non-wood fibre like jute, sorghum stalks, hemp, etc., are possible raw materials used for paper production. Some materials found to be promising are banana stem waste, pineapple leaves, corn husk, bagasse which are very good sources of cellulose. Experiments using different raw materials and different concentration in paper production have been conducted to assess the advantage in terms of physical and chemical properties of paper. The results have been proved with some modification in chemical and physical treatment on different parts of fibres can be utilized to make Kraft paper as the raw materials has low lignin content along with long cellulose fibres of higher strength, which results in reduced demand for chemicals and energy for processing. The Kraft process of pulp and paper making is economically viable and also energy saving as sun rays are used for drying purpose. The main purpose is to highlight the potential of agriculture waste used as non-wood materials for paper production. In this project study of the various stages of pulp and paper making using non-wood fibres are done.
