Abstract
Nowadays, the material recycling is a growing trend in development of building materials and therefore using of secondary raw materials for production new building materials is in accordance with sustainable development in civil engineering. Therefore, it is increasingly becoming crucial to accelerate the transition from application of non-renewable sources of raw materials to renewable raw materials. One fast renewable resource is natural plant fibers. The use of the cellulosic fibers as environmentally friendly material in building products contributes to the environmental protection and saves non-renewable resources of raw materials. Wood fibers and recycled cellulose fibers of waste paper appear as suited reinforcing elements for cement-based materials. In this paper, there is used application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) on cellulose fibers coming from different sources. FTIR spectra of cellulose fiber samples are investigated and compared with reference sample of cellulose.

Summary
The last few decades have revealed the growing interest of industry and scientists in the research and development of composite materials based on organic materials originating from renewable sources. It is increasingly becoming crucial to accelerate the shift from classical to environmentally friendly materials, and so to contribute to the transition to equitable, sustainable, post fossil-carbon societies [4]. In this context, there are efforts centered upon bio-based economy based on sustainable production and consumption of renewable biological resources, as well as their conversion into bio-based products and energies. There are efforts centered upon bio-based economy based on sustainable production and consumption of renewable biological resources, as well as their conversion into bio-based products and energies It is the possible way of achievement of sustainable development in the construction industry to shift from the limited and finite material resources to renewable raw material resources. Eco-builders are interested in the utilization of natural biomass resources and recycled waste related materials/products contributing to regulation of the indoor moisture content and to greater levels of indoor air quality [5]
