Making Paper From Woodchips

              Do you have any paper in your bag ? it may be a silly question but do you  know how to make paper ? What is paper made of ? right. And how about woodchipping ? have you heard about it ? Well, wood chipping is a process used  to obtain pulp and paper products from the trees.

              First of all,  the tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are taken out to the mill. At the mill, the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called woodchips. The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. At this stage they are exported in this form or changed into the pulp by chemicals and heat. Then the pulp is bleached and the water content is removed. Finally, the pulp is rolled out to make paper.

              Considering the complexity of making paper, let’s use any paper on our   hands more effectively.
