wood pulp

Crushed tree fiber

Wood pulp is wood that has been broken down into fibrous material, used primarily to make paper and cardboard.

The process involves mechanically grinding or chemically treating wood chips until they become a slurry of cellulose fibers.

The mill converts timber into wood pulp for export.
