How is it made?
In most of the cases, paper pouches are made from recycled paper, which is gathered and processed in a recycling paper mill. In some rare cases, the paper is created from fresh paper pulp, which means essentially thin shavings of layers of wood from the trees. This pulp is put through various mechanical and chemical processes to achieve a certain color and weight of paper.
The prepared pulp is then put into the paper-making machine. This machine resembles a traditional printer in a sense, but instead of printing ink, it rolls out blank sheets of paper that are made by compressing the pulp into thin and long slices.
