Tree-free paper is a type of paper made without using traditional wood pulp from trees. Instead, it is produced from alternative fiber sources such as:
- Agricultural Residues – Byproducts like sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw, and rice husks.
- Non-Wood Plants – Fibers from bamboo, hemp, cotton, flax, kenaf, and jute.
- Recycled Materials – Post-consumer paper waste, fabric scraps, or other repurposed fibers.
Benefits of Tree-Free Paper:
✅ Eco-Friendly – Reduces deforestation and minimizes carbon footprint.
✅ Sustainable – Uses rapidly renewable sources like bamboo or hemp.
✅ Stronger & More Durable – Some fibers, like hemp, create longer-lasting paper.
✅ Chemical-Free – Often requires fewer chemicals and bleaching agents.
