Lumber and paper pulp are due for a major upset from an unexpected source. Hemp fiber.
Vast amounts of wood are ground to make paper, but hemp fiber makes much higher quality paper than does wood pulp. Hemp is also grown on marginal farmland, so does not compete with other commercial crops, and needs little water, fertilizer or pesticide. It also grows very quickly.
Is hemp becoming a commercially viable crop now that marijuana is legal for growth and consumption in states like CO and WA?
Happy to see it, but for other than ZigZags yall are going to have to get to smokin a lot more to even make a pimple on wood fiber paper’s arse.
