wood-pulp
Crushed tree material
Wood-pulp is wood that has been mechanically or chemically broken down into fibrous material, used primarily in papermaking.
The process separates cellulose fibers from lignin, creating a slurry that can be pressed and dried into paper products.
Most paper, cardboard, and many disposable items are made from wood-pulp.
