Question

Most of the paper in India is made from which raw material?

Answer 1

Most of the raw material used in making for the production of paper in India is obtained from bamboo.

Bamboo serves up to 60 to 70% of the raw material for the paper industries in India as it has dense and long fibers which prove to provide a very good quality of the paper.

Along with its great qualities of producing paper, the bamboo tree is super quick to regenerate and grow.

Answer 2

Most of the paper in India is made up of bamboo.  

Explanation:

• Here, in the making of paper, 40% of hardwood and bamboo fiber, 30% of agricultural wastes and 30% of recycled fiber are involved. At the same time,  softwoods are used for newspaper printing and high-class printing purposes.
• However, due to the increment in the demand and consumption of papers, bamboo stands as a substantial element in the paper production. Also, softwoods grow better in the temperate climatic region which also acts as a hurdle.
