MAKING
PROCESS
The wooden logs from trees are cut down.
Then the logs are debarked ( i.e.
removing the bark of the tree ) using
log debarker.
The debarked logs are then sent through a
series of chippers equipped with whirling
blades which break them down into
smaller and smaller pieces.
The tiny fragments are then pressure
cooked with chemicals in a large vat
called a digester to separate the fibers.
The wood pulp is cleaned, refined,
bleached.
