Paper is made up of an infinite number of microscopic fibers, perfectly intertwined and bound together.

The manufacture of paper and cardboard comprises three successive phases: pulp preparation, paper manufacture, with or without additional treatments, and preparation for delivery and sale of paper and cardboard (cutting, winding, etc.).
