Pulpwood
(noun)
Wood that is used for making paper or other products that require wood pulp, such as cardboard.
Origin:
Derived from the word 'pulp' meaning a mass of soft, moist, fibrous matter and 'wood' meaning the hard, fibrous substance that forms the trunk and branches of trees.
Examples:
- The pulp mill processed thousands of tons of pulpwood every day, producing the raw materials for paper and cardboard products.
- Pulpwood is an important resource for many industries, as it is a renewable resource that is relatively easy to produce.
- The pulpwood logs were delivered to the mill by truck, where they were debarked and chipped into small pieces.
- The demand for pulpwood has increased in recent years, as more and more products are being made from recycled materials.
- Many companies are working to find new and sustainable ways to produce pulpwood, as the demand for paper and cardboard products continues to grow.
