Description

Description of the invention

The subject of the invention is bioactive paper, used in the production of paper dishes, stationery, gadgets and materials for advertising purposes.

To date, various handmade paper recipes are known for the production of pulp based on starch-bound cellulose fibers. The known paper can be shaped in the process of forming individual layers in which natural decorative elements in the form of flowers or leaves are embedded. There are also known solutions for shaping decorative motifs by applying them in layers in the course of production.

One of the most important insects in the ecosystem that plays a significant role in asking most plants are bees. These insects are the foundation of ecosystem functioning for humans and many animals. Bees produce honey, royal jelly and propolis with utility and healing properties. There has been a massive extinction of bees recently.

A significant problem of civilization is currently the decline in the population of bees, an insect extremely useful and significant for the ecosystem. According to the literature on the subject (Zdzisław Gliński, Krzysztof Kostro, Życie Weterynaryjne, 2007, 82 (8), page 651, Mass bee extinction syndrome with a new dangerous disease of the honeybee), insect-pollinated plants constitute over 50% of all plant species worldwide, and in most European countries about 80% of plant species. Moreover, the role of bees is of particular importance in increasing the level of agrotechnics, draining land and using pesticides and insecticides, which lead to the elimination of numerous species of wild insects that used to act as pollinators for plants. The ecological niche inhabited by these insects must be filled by bees to prevent a collapse in food production. The extinction of bees that pollinate most crops could have catastrophic effects on food production and contribute to famine.

From the patent literature, from the earlier solution with the number CN201284449, a mixture of paper pulp and seeds is known, evenly distributed on the paper layer. The seeds are grass seeds, flower seeds, tree seeds, or vegetable seeds. The paper contains seeds so that the paper can be buried in the soil when thrown away; without sowing and fertilizing, various plants can grow by watering.

The present invention is part of this subject matter, introducing to the ecosystem a natural source of plant seeds that have beneficial effects on the development of the habitats of these insects, without the need for sowing and additional fertilization.

The aim of the invention is to develop a paper pulp recipe with a positive effect on the biosphere in the process of its utilization, containing honey-bearing seeds, substances attracting bees, in order to create positive living conditions for these insects.

The bioactive, handmade paper, made of paper pulp with a natural adhesive binder, is characterized in that the paper pulp contains seeds of honey plants adapted to a given biotope, in particular phacelia and / or clover, moreover, the paper pulp contains glucose and / or feathers.

Preferably, the pH of the furnish is about 7.

Preferably, the honey seed mix furnish and the glucose and / or bee-containing furnish constitute layers.

Preferably, the honey plant seed mixture is evenly distributed throughout the furnish.

The use of the solution according to the invention allows to obtain bioactive paper, applicable for the production of disposable dishes, pots, advertising gadgets, which, when decomposed in the soil, will be a source of honey plants, creating favorable living conditions for a potential habitat for these insects. The honey plants used to create the paper according to the solution are also green fertilizer for the soil.

Example 1

Bioactive handmade paper made from starch pulp, wherein the furnish comprises a mixture of seeds of honey plants such as phacelia and clover. The pH of the furnish is 7. The furnish comprises glucose and / or bee. The mixture of honey plant seeds is unevenly distributed in the pulp.

Example 2

Bioactive handmade paper made from starch pulp, wherein the first layer of the furnish comprises a mixture of honey plant seeds such as phacelia and clover.

PL 235 440 B1

The pH of the furnish is 7. Covered with a second layer of the furnish containing glucose and bee. The honey plant seed mixture is unevenly distributed throughout the first furnish.

Claims (4)
