Detailed explanation-1: -The timber resources used to make wood pulp are referred to as pulpwood. While in theory any tree can be used for pulp-making, coniferous trees are preferred because the cellulose fibers in the pulp of these species are longer, and therefore make stronger paper.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical wood pulping involves the extraction of cellulose from wood by dissolving the lignin that binds the cellulose fibers together. The 4 processes principally used in chemical pulping are kraft, sulfite, neutral sulfite semichemical (NSSC), and soda.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pulp is used in a variety of consumer and specialty products, such as: paper printouts, receipts, post-its, envelopes. paper cups, napkins, toilet rolls, tissues. cardboard.
