But no matter what you use to make paper, you need fibre. Today's paper fibre comes mainly from two sources - pulpwood logs and recycled paper products. In fact, much of the paper we use every day is a blend of new and recycled fibre. From log to pulp Much of the paper produced is made from waste products. The tree parts from logging and sawmill operations that are too small or are unsuitable be made into lumber. After felling, trees are cut into logs and are transported to the mill. At the mill, a debarker removes the bark from each log. The log is cut into boards of various sizes. The wood that's left over is then converted into small wood chips, about the size of corn flakes. The wood chips are then put into ‘pulp digesters’ where they are broken down by steam and chemicals into a gooey mixture of fibres and other wood parts. In another process, the chemicals, wood resins, and wood lignin (a sort of natural glue in the wood) are removed. The fibres are cleaned and screened many times to get them ready to be made into paper. From pulp to paper The paper pulp (from wood chips, recycled paper or both) is fed into the paper-making machine. A pump sprays a thin layer of the liquid paper pulp onto a moving wire screen. This screen can be up to 6 metres wide, and can move as fast as 90 kilometres an hour. As the pulp is carried along by the screen, the water in it drops away, and the fibres become matted together, forming paper. While the paper is still damp, it is fed through a series of heated rollers which press it and dry it. The paper is then rolled onto huge rollers, cut into various sizes, and converted into paper products. || Don't waste || **[] ** || ||
