WHAT'S
THE BIG DEAL ABOUT KENAF FIBER?
There are better things to do with forests than turn them into pulp. Here
are a few interesting factoids, courtesy a 1997 article by Heather Rosmarin
called The Paper Challenge: How to Have Our Paper and Our Forests Too. For
the whole article (it's a captivating read), click on the ReThinkPaper link
below.
American paper consumption is the highest in the world. Each American on average consumes more than 730 pounds of paper each year, and collectively the US produces and consumes more than 80 million tons annually. Less than a third is from recycled (post and pre-consumer) sources. The rest is from virgin fiber sources.
In the US, 99% of the virgin fiber used in paper making comes from trees. California's coastal redwoods, southern pines, temperate rainforest softwoods, and boreal hardwoods are all fodder for pulp mills.
Indeed, the US paper industry is the country's largest single consumer of wood in all forms - from raw logs to chips, milling residues, and other lumber co-products. The global industry's voracious and growing appetite for timber is projected to outstrip supply in the next ten to twenty years.
Using plants like kenaf for paper raw material makes good sense for a lot of environmental, economic and recreational reasons. Because Wynderry is a forest-friendly business, printing books on kenaf paper was an easy decision to make. For more info, ReThinkPaper.org is a good place to start.
