We touch paper every single day. In the office, at the university, in public administration , at home…but do you know that:
- Ever since 3000 B.C., the Egyptians have been using the papyrus made from reed from the Nile
- Modern paper is also 2000 years old! In 105 A.D. Tsai-Lun – the Chinese Minister of Agriculture during the reign of Emperor Hoti, invents paper made from a dough-like mixture of old cloth and tree bark
- Paper is not only made from wood fiber. It also contains fiber from cotton or cloth, water, oxygen, etc.
