Manufacture
The Product Life Cycle Of Paper
- Logs are converted to wood pulps and are filtered to remove foreign objects.
- The pulp is then put through a pounding, squeezing process called beating.
- Sizing is also added at this point, which affects the way the paper will react with various inks.
