Question

What is the major source of fiber to produce pulp and paper?

Answer 1

Explanation:

forest tree trunks

Pulped forest tree trunks (boles) are by far the predominant source of papermaking fibre. The bole of a tree consists essentially of fibres with a minimum of nonfibrous elements, such as pith and parenchyma cells.

Answer 2

Pulped forest tree trunks (boles) is the major source of fiber to produce pulp and paper.

Explanation:

• The most common source of papermaking fibre is pulped forest tree trunks (boles). The bole of a tree is mostly made up of fibres, with a few non-fibrous parts like pith and parenchyma cells thrown in for good measure.
• Pulp and paper are mostly made from coniferous and deciduous plants. Straws from wheat, rye and rice; canes, such as bagasse; woody stalks from bamboo, flax and hemp; and seed, leaf or bast fibres, such as cotton, abaca and sisal are examples of secondary sources.
• Plant resources such as cellulosic fibres are used to make paper and pulp. Synthetic materials are occasionally utilised to give the end product a unique quality.
