 Making Paper from Woodchips

Wood chipping is a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees.
The wood chipping process begins when the trees are cut down in a selected area of the forest
called a coupe.
Next the tops and branches of the tress are cut out and then the logs are taken to the mill.
At the mill the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them
into small pieces called wood chips.
The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. At this stage, they are
either exported in this form or changed into pulp by chemicals and heat.
The pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed.
Finally the pulp is rolled out to make paper.
