I have a thing for paper.. I do not know why I like clean paper so much, can anyone relate to it?

@UpForItNow interesting

@Donotfolowme Paper is a directionally manufactured product, whereby the pulp is squirted forward along the processing plane of the manufacturing mill, hence the finished product has a 'grain', as with wood, which is why newspaper can be evenly ripped lengthwise but not widthwise. Learned a load about paper recycling, pulping techniques, cardboard box manufacturing specifications, wood species, sustainable forest management, illegal paper trade techniques like 'dumping', and illegal logging, even got to Indonesia for an APEC conference on same. The CEOs of Australian Paper, and of Scandinavian manufacturer Norske Skog, were colleagues of mine and we advocated for the industry at Parliament House. Something so mundane as paper can be fascinating in its detail.

@UpForItNow oh wow! super interesting
