Sep 3, Jaena Manalad Feb 8, Wonderopolis Feb 9, Lawrence Tjamei Nov 12, I am interested in making paper from wood and shrubs like bamboo. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Skip to content. What materials can be used to make paper? In countries like China, Korea, and Japan paper is generally made from bamboo, readily available and therefore cheap.

Papyrus is a grasslike aquatic plant commonly used by Egyptians for making paper. Paper comes in many forms but can be split into two categories - long fiber paper and short fiber. Certain trees are preferred over others for making paper. The kind of tree used also affects the kind of paper you end up getting. Softwood trees like spruce, pine, and fir possess longer cellulose fibers. When processed at a mill they produce paper that is strong and durable. Think: Origami. Hardwood trees like oak, birch, and maple have shorter cellulose fibers which creates a more opaque and delicate paper.

Think: Toilet paper. We left out the part about processing. Trees have to be removed. They then need to be transported. And then they are processed at a mill. The good news is that a lot of paper is recycled but even recycled paper can be traced back to tress that had to be removed from the land - depriving animals of their homes and the Earth oxygen and all the other things we mentioned above. All to be tossed in the trash or down the drain. No one is chopping down mountains to get the stone for stone paper.

That would be silly, completely unnecessary, and would be a tragic loss of a completely fine mountain. Our paper is made of marble.
