Do you know that around 270 eucalyptus trees or 460 bamboo plants are saved
when we produce one tonne of hand-made paper? It is ecofriendly hand-made paper
that also checks pollution of water, land and air. Large quantities of polluting
chemicals are used by paper mills.
Hand-made paper is the best form of recycled paper. It has a fine surface for writing. It
is also strong enough for making drawings.
Paper manufacturing is a very old tradition. It was invented in China nearly two
thousand years back. Indians used the leaves of palm trees for writing. Papyrus is a
kind of paper made from a reed of the same name. It grew on the banks of the River
Nile, and was used in Egypt.
The hand-made paper industry flourished in India during the Mughal period. But it
died with the setting up of paper mills in the 18th and 19th centuries. Mahatma Gandhi
revived it during the freedom movement. Today it is a fast growing industry.
