Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing
material more than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers
used in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition
to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper
different colors; resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from ? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber
that comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may
be also made from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made
and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and
reduces air and water pollution.
