Talk:Wood-free paper

How can it be called 'Wood-free"?
I'm just curious how this can be called "wood-free" paper. If it is made with chemical pulp, then by definition it contains wood? Logical Fuzz (talk) 15:06, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

 * the article about wood-free paper is a bit confusing. Here's why:
 * Misleading terminology: The term "wood-free" can be misleading because it implies the paper isn't made from wood at all. In reality, it's made from wood pulp, but with most of the lignin removed through a chemical process.
 * Technical details: The article dives into technical details about the pulping process (chemical vs. mechanical) and the different types of pulp used in wood-free paper. This can be overwhelming for someone unfamiliar with papermaking.

 * Because the wood chips treated chemically and they are not considered to be wood any more because the lignin is removed and does not show yellowing as wood containing paper from mechanical pulp.
