It is produced by pressing togethermoist fibers, typically
cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses,
and drying them into flexible sheets.

The sizing system in Europe is based
on common width to height ratios
for different paper sizes. The largest
standard size paper is A0 (A zero).
![Page 17: Paper](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a23adf1a28ab1f078b47d7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Two sheets of A1, placed upright
side by side, fit exactly into one
sheet of A0 laid on its side.
Similarly, two sheets of A2 fit into
one sheet of A1 and so forth.

Common sizes used in the office
and the home are A4 and A3
(A3 is the size of two A4 sheets).

In order to make paper, wood logs (or other fibrous material) have to be turned into something called pulp. This process is called pulping and it can be mechanical or chemical.
![Page 20: Paper](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a23adf1a28ab1f078b47d7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Wood is made of cellulose and lignin. The objective of pulping is to reduce wood to pure cellulose fibres. Lignin makes the paper quality worse and must be reduced.

Traditional mechanical pulping (also called groundwood) involves forcing logs against a revolving stone or blade, which grinds the logs into small pieces by friction.
![Page 22: Paper](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a23adf1a28ab1f078b47d7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
This process does not remove the lignin, so mechanical pulping only creates paper of low quality, which tends to become yellow and weak.
(This is the paper used for newspapers, for example.)

In order to obtain a better quality paper, lignin can be removed in a following step, using some chemicals.

Cellulose fibers are more finely homogenised, added with some chemicals to provide some desired properties, and then spread on wide surfaces, letting water drain. The mixture is then pressed, dried and stored in big rolls, ready to be cut and delivered.

Paper was invented in China about 2200 years ago.

Before there was paper, people used different things for recording words: for example…
…the ancient Sumerians used clay tablets.

… Egyptians used papyrus sheets, obtained from a specific plant (Papyrus).
Actually, the term “paper” comes from “papyrus”.

…Greeks and Romans used
wooden tablets covered with wax,
or parchment,
or papyrussheet.

Paper making technology
spread from China through the Middle East
to Europe in the 13th century,
at the end of the Middle Age.

Paper can be recycled!
In Italy almost
half of the paper used comes from the
recycling process.

The recycling process has 2 steps:
1. the pulping of wastepaper,
2. the cleaning process, where all impurities, such as ink and glue, are removed.
The following steps are similar to thosein the making of paper from wood.
