Most paper is made from large , quick-growing

softwood trees , like pines . The trees are specially

grown for papermaking . Millions of new trees are

planted every year so that there will always be new

trees growing . When the trees are cut down , their

branches are cut off to make logs .

,

pine trees

It is not easy to drive large trucks close enough to

pick up the logs . Sometimes logs are floated down a

river because that is an easier way to move them .

floating logs

Once the logs reach the timber mill , the bark is taken

off . They are chopped into small wood chips , which are

then taken by truck to a paper mill .

The chips are turned into wood fibre by grinding

them between two strong discs . Old paper can also

be used for fibre . The wood fibre is turned into

pulp by adding steam .

wood chips

The pulp is washed and strained to take out any

large bits of fibre . Water is added to make the pulp

liquid . Sometimes bleach is used to make it white ,

or colour can be added .

,

The pulp is then pressed onto a wire screen . It looks

like paper , but it is very wet . The wet paper is sent

through rollers to squeeze the water out . When the

paper has been dried , it goes through more rollers to

make it smooth .

There are many different kinds of paper that need to

be finished in different ways . What will the paper be

used for ? Most paper needs a special finish sprayed

onto both sides . Some paper needs to be soft , and

some needs a smooth , shiny finish .

paper rolls

The paper is put on a large roll so it can be cut ,

wrapped , and labelled . It is loaded onto trucks

and taken to stores to be sold . Paper is not all

used for writing . How many different uses for

paper do you know ?

Look around the room to see where paper is used .

How do you use paper at home ? Paper towels should

be thick enough to hold water . Egg cartons are

made from recycled paper . Cardboard boxes need

to be strong to hold heavy things .

Newspapers can be poor quality paper , because

they are read just once . Building paper is special

heavy paper used in buildings . Good quality paper

is used to make books like this one you are

reading . Photo paper needs a special coating .

,

,

Every year , about half of all the paper used is recycled .

This helps to get the most use out of every tree that is

cut down . It also helps to keep paper out of landfills .
