Tissue paper
Tissue paper is a lightweight paper or, light crêpe paper, which is made from recycled paper pulp. Tissue paper is often used for a variety of purposes, including facial tissue, bathroom tissue, wrapping tissue, and tissue paper used in a variety of crafts and arts projects.
History
The production of tissue paper has its roots in ancient China, during the 2nd century BC. The Chinese were the first to create paper, and they utilized a variety of materials, such as rice, hemp, and even silk. The process of making tissue paper was refined over centuries, eventually leading to the lightweight, absorbent material we are familiar with today.
Production
The production of tissue paper involves a process of re-pulping paper sheets and adding water to create a slurry. The slurry is then drained, leaving behind a mat of randomly interwoven fibres. This mat is then pressed and dried to create tissue paper. The quality of the final product can be influenced by the type of pulp used, the process of extraction, and the treatment of the pulp.
Uses
Tissue paper has a wide range of uses. It is commonly used in toilet paper and facial tissues, but it is also used in a variety of other applications. For example, it is used in crafts and arts projects, for gift wrapping, and in the production of paper mache. In addition, tissue paper is often used in the packaging industry, where it is used to protect delicate items during shipping.
Environmental Impact
The production of tissue paper has a significant environmental impact. It requires a large amount of water and energy, and it contributes to deforestation. However, many manufacturers are now using recycled materials in their production processes, and they are implementing more sustainable practices in order to reduce their environmental footprint.
