In recent years, wood pulp has been used as a raw material for paper, and the percentage of recycled paper made from recovered paper is increasing. However, non-wood materials are attracting attention as alternatives to wood pulp. In particular, kenaf is attracting attention for its high yield and high CO2 absorption, and bagasse is also expected to be an effective use of unutilized resources. The use of non-wood pulp is increasing worldwide, and China stands out in terms of production volume. On the other hand, the use of kenaf is spreading in Japan, although its production volume is low. Stable supply and cost reduction are challenges for the spread of non-wood pulp, and cultivation in hot and rainy regions and local plant construction are considered to be the solutions.
