woodpulp

Mashed tree material

Woodpulp, also spelled as two words, is wood that has been mechanically or chemically broken down into fibrous material, primarily for making paper and cardboard.

The pulping process separates cellulose fibers from lignin and other components in the wood.

Most paper products, from newsprint to packaging, originate as woodpulp.

The mill converts logs into woodpulp for export to paper manufacturers overseas.
