paper production
Creating wood pulp sheets
Paper production is the industrial process of manufacturing paper from raw materials, typically wood pulp, recycled fibers, or other cellulose sources.
The process involves breaking down plant fibers, suspending them in water, then pressing and drying the resulting slurry into sheets.
Modern paper production operates on a massive scale, though concerns about deforestation have pushed the industry toward recycled content and sustainable forestry practices.
