Answers: How Much Paper Can Be Made From
A Tree? |
| Description of Resource: |
How
much paper can be made from a tree? The answer to this question
is really quite complicated. There are many factors which
influence the amount of paper that can be made from one tree.
Paper manufactured in the U.S. is probably made of wood fiber.
But where did the fiber come from? A whole tree? Wood chips?
Old copy paper? If the paper was made from a whole tree, what
kind of tree was it? There are so many factors involved in
making paper. "How much paper can be made from a tree" provides
a closer look at the raw materials used to make paper. Excellent
resource. |
