Paper has been known in one form or another from very early times. The papyrus reeds of the
Nile swamps served the ancient Egyptians for sheets upon which to inscribe their records. The
Chinese and Japanese, centuries later, were using something more akin to modern paper. In
substance, an Asiatic paper mulberry, yielding a smooth fibrous material, was being utilised. With the
spread of learning in Western Europe, the necessity of a readier medium made itself felt, and paper
began to be manufactured from pulped rags and other substances. Other papermaking staples were
later introduced, such as linen cotton and wood pulp. The chief raw material in the world paper
industry now is wood pulp, the main exporters being the timber growing countries of Canada,
Sweden and Finland.
