Paper is now a days very important to everyone. It is used in various forms like copies, notebooks, books, paper files, logbooks, tissue papers, newspapers, etc. Since the population is increasing and society is getting educated the need of paper is increasing so this business is fostering day by day and is slowly becoming one major industrial and financial sector in the economy.
The project titled, “Market analysis and Development” of Siddhartha Copy Udhyog was done to become familiar with management and market activities of paper product industry and to help them in developing their market. Copy Udhyogs are those which use readily available paper as raw material to form various products like Notebooks, Books, Registers, logbooks, envelopes, Paper files, etc.
Earlier, in Nepal, hand made paper was used. Nepal’s first Machine made paper was manufactured in 1942. In 1942, for the first time two paper mills emerged as joint ventures of Nepali and Indian entrepreneurs. As the company act 1936 did not have any provision for private limited companies, government formulated a new act in 1951 to solve this problem. Soft wood is the prime raw material for a paper industry but due to increasing demand for paper as a result of increase in population and society being getting more and more educated, there has been the shortage of such soft wood so as the alternative raw material, the bamboo got the attention of people and these days it is being used as a major raw material for the manufacture of paper in Nepal. It is chosen as prime raw material in this industry now a days because of two reasons and they are; firstly it is found abundantly in Nepal in every region and secondly, it regenerates/regrows very quick even after cutting it repea...

...try is a booming industry and it is expected to grow more in comming years. The industry is bound to bring about changes for the better as the usage of paper cannot be ignored. The eco friendly concept has been introduced which object the use of plastics because some plastics do not possess the property of being degradable so the use of plastic has been discouraged. The excessive use of non degradable plastics upsets the ecological equilibrium so it should be discouraged but Nepalese government has not made any strict legal obligations though some rules regarding the use of plastics in the industry has been introduced recently.
Nepalese paper/paper product industry has a huge potentials in coming future. In Nepal, demand for paper products and newspaper is rapidly increasing. There is vast demand in the area of tea bags, tissue paper, handmade paper, lightweight
(Violatti et al., 2016). The invention of paper is no doubt an incredible achievement of the Han dynasty which had a lasting impact on the modern world. Paper also had a tremendous impact upon the political, cultural, social, and historical advancements of the Han empire.
International Paper Company is the world's largest pulp and paper company with manufacturing operations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Russia, Asia and North Africa. When it started out on January 31, 1898 in Albany, New York, it was through the merger of 17 pulp and paper mills ranging in size and technological advancement and capabilities. However, even then International Paper was a leader in the industry as the nation's largest producer of newsprint. It supplied sixty percent of all newsprint sold in the United States at the time, as well as exporting its product to Argentina, Australia, and England.
Defining the major sources of solid waste for KC begins by reviewing the solid waste produced in their manufacturing processes worldwide, since this contributes to the highest output of solid waste and environmental waste. The waste to landfill ratio for KC, still ranks high among EPA and other environmental standards, this is due to process manufacturing of paper products. This method has been in existence in the paper industry since the late 1870‘s, which required large amounts of electricity and water during process manufacturing. Through the year’s newer machines, new efficiency standards, and conservation programs began to be, implemented for KC and other manufacturers worldwide, due to growing environmental concerns, and global warming. However the high demand for forest products, pulp, recycled fibers, energy, and water could not be greater, therefore the process used to produce these products had to change because of the high volume of waste originally destine to landfills, which is now being diverted from the same landfills. Thanks to the efforts of consumers, EPA and hundreds of GRI and ISO standards now within the manufacturing industry.
Also, according to the BRC, “...paper (is) more likely to take up landfill space and cause greenhouse gases and pollution rather than plastic bags,” (Doc A). Although plastic materials can become a hazard to the
Paper recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions that can contribute to climate change by avoiding methane emissions and reducing energy required for a number of paper products.
He used, broken fishnets, mulberry fibers, hemp waste, and old rags to create the paper. In real life, paper from China has been dated as far back as 8 BC. It might even be older than that. What cannot be questioned, is is that the invention of paper greatly spread the written word across China and into the world. Moreover, it was the development of paper that allowed the Chinese to develop printing. They would use wood blocks to do this. This made it easier for them to create standard texts. Therefore help the distribution of important information. It even was the driving force behind the spread of Buddhism across Asia. The Chinese inventions of printing and paper established the importance of the written word for thousands of
This impacted society because the use of written language became more accessible. Books became more accessible, and affordable as well. After this, the invention of the printing press was developed in 1440.
Papermaking had actually been invented by the Chinese but was improved and made more efficient by the Muslim empire. Paper had first been introduced to the empire in Samarkand in around 850 CE. After the battle of Talas against the Chinese in 751, they had taken Chinese prisoners who turned out to be professional paper makers and used them for their advantage. They gave the prisoners space to practice their paper making skills and also learned their skills. They then took those skills from the Chinese prisoners and improved on them to make a more efficient way of making paper. The Chinese first started making paper around 150 CE using mulberry bark. According to Sardar Ziauddin, “The Chinese craft of paper-making introduced in Samarkand could not be transformed into a manufacturing process, not at least because mulberry bark was not widely available in Muslim lands.” With not enough mulberry bark available, The Muslims used flax, cotton and linen rags as a substitute. They also introduced a bamboo mold, “which could be used to drain wet sheets of paper and from which paper could still be removed while still moist.” With these innovations the paper industry was able to spread rapidly. The first paper mill was established in Baghdad in 793 CE. They soon appeared in Damascus, Tiberius, Tripoli, Cairo, Muslim Sicily, Moorish Spain and other parts of the
Paper is one of the simple items that is taken for granted in the modern world. From paper money to magazines, and textbooks, it is a fundamental part of life today. This invention has been around for thousands of years, and its beginnings were part of a complex process to create it. The origin of paper dates back to 105 AD in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. The invention of paper had a tremendous impact within China, and subsequently Europe during the Renaissance, due to its ability to spread ideas and information to large amounts of people over great distances.
In addition, the plastics have shown to generate more damage to the environment in the long-term than any other sources of energy. So, it becomes our responsibility to preserve the environment creating mass awareness. The practice of bio-plastics are an environment friendly method, which doesn’t use the landfills while recycling and deposition, but it is also not that convenient method because the cost of manufacturing bio-plastics are much higher than ordinary method. This directly indicates that the cost of minimizing the waste, the cost of human health and environmental pollution is much higher than the production of
Paper, a remarkable invention, has truly changed the world. Today, paper is used all day every day, but it was not always such a universal product. It is used for writing, drawing, painting, reading, blowing noses, wrapping presents, insulating houses, and even for currency. Using paper makes life so much easier, and paper even breaks down easily in the environment. People do not often think about how paper got to be so popular and useful, and it is important that they know that the spread of Islamic civilization brought paper to the West. It was actually Muslims who learned how to manufacture paper in large quantities, a technology very important to the spread of ideas in the time of the Golden Age of Islam because paper was important for documents and books. This essay will explore the history of paper, the innovations in paper manufacturing, the spread of paper by the Muslims, and the importance of the spread of paper westward. Paper spread to the West along with the spread of Islam; therefore, paper can be considered when studying the innovations of the Golden Age of Islam because the Muslims are responsible for the spread of the knowledge and technology of paper manufacturing.
“Sustainable and ethical manufacturing: a case study from handloom industry” is a study by D. G. K. Dissanayake, Srimala Perera and Thushari Wanniarachchi, (2017) that explores the method of craft practice as a potential avenue to achieve sustainability in the fashion industry. In this study, the handloom industry of Sri Lanka was analysed in order to gain an understanding of the manufacturing approach that is devoted to fair trade principles as well as preventing waste. Handloom is an elaborate weaving craft, experted by generations of skilled artisans in order to make intricate designs that are labour intensive. As “craftspeople from developing world to the international fashion industry” (International Trade Centre, 2016), the objective of this study was to determine the connection between craft practice and sustainable development. It was speculated that the use of the handloom practice could benefit both developing and developed markets, as well as
Environmental health has been a very important issue to talk about internationally these days. We, human beings are leading the earth toward its edge unconsciously. We are using natural resource more than we give to the Mother Nature. Day by Day, people are aware of what damage they do the environment, but they do not care of fixing this damage. In a very simple step, the road of a better healthy environment will begin; recycling is the best idea that illustrate the previous point. To Andrew Roper, recycling is the conversion of waste products into new materials, such as waste paper that can be converts into new paper goods (n.d). There are many types of recycling, for example, there are glass, paper, metal, plastics, textiles and electronics recycling (Evans , 2011). This research will focus on recycling papers in the United Arab Emirates, the benefits or recycling and its effect on the environment, the difficulties of recycling, the process of recycling paper, and the finals products of recycling.
The invention of the printing press helped to make printed materials available to individuals of all social classes not only “to princes, scholars and individuals who could afford the materials” (Thompson 210). The printing press allowed the English language to stabilize. The availability of standardized print for punctuation, grammar and spelling looked the same. “No longer was literature a rarefied privileged domain” (Menon, Sindhu and Merriman, Renaissance in Literature). The invention of movable print and the ability to produce printed materials allowed the idea of trading printed books and material...
