What are paper mills?

Paper mills are industrial facilities where wood pulp or other fibrous material is processed to produce paper and paper products. These mills use mechanical and chemical processes to break down raw materials, which are then pressed and dried to form sheets of paper. Paper mills vary in size and specialization, producing items like writing paper, cardboard, newsprint, and specialty papers. Environmental considerations, such as water and energy usage, are important aspects of modern paper mill operations.
