    Human plants paper from managed forests, transporting logs by truck to processing facilities. Various paper manufacturing methods are used, such as mechanical and sulfite pulping. The paper making process involves digesting wood into pulp, bleaching it, and forming it into paper sheets using screens and rollers. On average, each American uses 749 pounds of paper per year. The pulp and paper industry employs over 1.4 million Americans and generates $200 billion in annual sales. Cellulose from plants can be processed into various products like rayon, cellophane, and acetate fabrics. Cork is harvested from cork oak trees and is used to make wine stoppers and insulation. Bamboo is used widely in Asia for construction, tools

    CELLULOSE PRODUCTS
    natural and synthetic fibers
    difference: proteins made of AA
    take cellulose . shred. digest, take carbon disulfide cellulose xanthate + NAOH
    viscose (will solidify into sheet or fiber (when neutralized with acid)
    Viscose extrusion
    Sheet or filaments
    cellophane (modified cellulose sheet)
    extrude as fibers out of mold = Rayon fibers (Semi-syhtetic matieral made out of
    wood fibers aka cellulose)
    add acetyl groups to cellusose (use ing acetyl acid) makes acetate (acetylated
    cellulose ) . partially acetylated acetate makes fabric
