about paper

Based upon wood, a natural renewable resource, paper is both biodegradable and recyclable. It is made up of many fibres that are interlaced and compacted in a web-like fashion.

Millions of tonnes of paper are produced each year. This is used for a wide variety of products and applications such as office paper, newspapers, envelopes, agricultural sacks, plasterboard and the packaging of all types of consumer, commercial and industrial goods.
