On 1 August 1940, Handmade Paper Institute started producing paper in Pune. In the year 2018, India’s apex paper body, "Federation of Paper Traders’ Associations of India (FPTA)" initiated celebrating this day as Paper Day.

Many myths about paper have been spreading since long. In fact, all paper professionals try their best to bring facts to justify their claims. However, it is the time to have a small quiz to know what you know and find out the facts yourself. You may use Google, Bing or any other search engine to find answer on internet.

Quiz

1. What percent of forest trees are being cut in India just to make paper?

2. Which species of forest trees are most preferred to make paper in India?

3. Which Indian forest is on the way to extinction to meet the wood requirement for making paper?

4. It is said that 17 trees are being cut to make one ton paper. Roughly, one ton of paper costs around Rs.80,000. Does that mean wood from one tree costs less than Rs.5000 only including cutting, transportation etc; that too if paper manufacturing costs are zero? But, why than the wood used for furniture is so costly?

Happy National Paper Day
