At least trees are renewable resources. I think most pulp woods are from tree farms rather than old growth forests.
One million trees equals two double burgers with cheese
Aaah, the 90s were so optimistic.
Are new trees actually cut down for paper? Seems much more practical to use sawdust from sawmills. Is there more paper demand than the amount of dust you’d get from making lumber?
Sawdust is too fine to make paper from, the feedstock to make pulp is wood chips. Some of that will be scrap from lumber mills, but most is grown specifically to be used to make paper
