Paper Production from Trees Explained by OrangeIsLemon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Paper is made from cellulose fibers from wood or other plant materials like cotton and hemp. The most common raw material is wood from trees. The process begins with pulping wood chips using chemicals or grinding to separate the fibers. The fibers are then sprayed onto screens to form a mat which is dried and rolled into paper. The United States has the highest per capita paper consumption in the world at 749 pounds per person per year.
