Definition of Wood-pulp paper

Wood-pulp paper is paper made from wood pulp, which is produced from trees by a variety of mechanical and chemical processes. Paper made from wood pulp ranges from toilet paper (obviously a single-use product) to newsprint (meant to be used once then recycled), to high quality paper for books and legal documents (unlimited lifespans). Pulpwood accounts for about 90% of all pulp, with the balance coming from fiber crops like bamboo, kenaf and hemp. Paper production uses about 43% of all harvested wood, and represents 1.2% of the world's total economic output .
