: Raw material (dry pulp, recycled paper, or wood fibers) is loaded into a large "pulper" and mixed with water to break it down.
: The diluted pulp is poured onto a moving wire screen. Gravity and vacuums pull water through the screen, leaving behind a mat of interwoven fibers.
Modern paper production involves several mechanical and chemical stages to transform raw fibers into a finished sheet.
