Pulp name in business abbreviations
先頭の”N”と”L”は「ドイツ語」です。ドイツ語で、針葉樹：Nadelbaum、広葉樹：Laubbaumなどと呼ぶそうです。
たまに、先頭に”S”をつける人がいますが、それは英語の「針葉樹：Softwood」のことです。例えば、「SBKP」は、「針葉樹漂白パルプ」で「NBKP」と同じ意味です。（一方、先頭に”H”をつける人は、見たことがありません）
こんな習慣、イラっとしますね。略称は使わないようにしましょう！！！
具体的には、NBKPやSBKPと記載せず、”softwood bleached kraft pulp”と記載する。
