Detailed explanation-1: -The overwhelming majority (about 95 percent) of the raw material used to make paper, though, comes from trees.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paper is made in two steps: Cellulose fibers are extracted from a variety of sources and converted to pulp. Pulp is combined with water and placed on a paper making machine where it is flattened, dried, and cut into sheets and rolls.

Detailed explanation-3: -How much paper comes from one tree, on average? It is estimated that a standard pine tree, with 45ft of the usable trunk and a diameter of eight inches, will produce around 10, 000 sheets of paper. To consider this in another way, one ream of paper (which is 500 sheets) will use 5% of a tree.

Detailed explanation-4: -Everything takes energy to produce. In the case of paper, it also involves cutting down trees. Deforestation is one of the main environmental problems we’re facing in these times. 42% of all global wood harvest is used to make paper.
