A world without trees is hard to imagine. So is a world without paper. Ever since the Egyptians turned papyrus into ‘paper’, people have explored alternative materials such as tree bark, rice husk, garlic skin, biogases, jute, bamboo and even coffee chaff to make paper. Paper is an indispensable part of our everyday lives. Even with the world going digital, there are as many hard copies of documentation as there are soft copies. Education remains the single-largest sector that dominates the usage of paper.
