Pulp and paper refer to the process of producing paper products from raw materials, primarily wood. The first step involves creating pulp, which is made by breaking down wood fibers through mechanical or chemical methods. This pulp is then processed and dried to form sheets of paper, which can be used for various applications, including printing, packaging, and writing. The pulp and paper industry is significant for its role in the economy and its impact on the environment. Sustainable practices, such as using recycled materials and managing forests responsibly, are essential to reduce the ecological footprint associated with paper production and deforestation.
