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 fibres, unlike a piece of material. The fibres used in
paper, however, are plant fibres, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the
plant fibre, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different
colours; resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibres come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fibre that
comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may
also be 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.

instead of new paper?
