00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:17.860
The drawings of genius the scribbles of children all begin with a single sheet of paper

5
00:01:17.860 --> 00:01:21.320
For what is an idea if no one can see it?

6
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.000
Paper where thoughts take form so others can see an idea alive

7
00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:32.000
paper

8
00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:40.000
a mirror for imagination

9
00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:55.980
Trees people

10
00:01:55.980 --> 00:02:01.480
Paper they work together in the service of ideas that build civilization

11
00:02:02.660 --> 00:02:03.920
paper

12
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.620
multi uses multi qualities

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.820
subtly tinted white

14
00:02:09.820 --> 00:02:11.860
deeply colored

15
00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:14.220
Smooth or textured?

16
00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:17.740
dull coated glossy soaked with color

17
00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:23.500
Delegate opaque embossed or creped

18
00:02:24.700 --> 00:02:31.340
Absorbent moisture proof elegant or strong thick or thin

19
00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:34.460
Their use determines the kind

20
00:02:35.260 --> 00:02:37.240
form follows function

21
00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:44.300
Sturdy paper board for cartons and packages or light it's a kite

22
00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:48.940
Fly high to the sky to the mind

23
00:02:48.940 --> 00:02:52.480
For without paper where is civilization?

24
00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:59.860
No books printing writing no ideas no past no future

25
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.600
They're all here in the power of paper

26
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:13.640
There will always be paper because there will always be trees our most important resource grows

27
00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:16.320
Renews and replaces itself forever

28
00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:23.580
Paper begins with trees with their wood with the cellulose fibers that build wood

29
00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:30.740
From farms where trees are grown and harvested just to make paper from lumber mills wood chips

30
00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:36.980
These are the major sources for the raw material from which paper is made

31
00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:45.020
In the deep hidden microscopic world within wood we see the building blocks

32
00:03:45.260 --> 00:03:52.960
Chains of tree cells whose woody walls give both trees and paper their structure and strength

33
00:03:53.780 --> 00:04:03.060
We free the fibers from their woody prison and rebuild them into paper

34
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.460
Pine trees have long fibers they give paper its strength

35
00:04:09.770 --> 00:04:15.610
Hardwood leaf bearing trees have short fibers that give paper its smoothness and beauty

36
00:04:16.130 --> 00:04:21.570
By mixing fibers in various proportions adding chemicals using different machines

37
00:04:21.570 --> 00:04:25.090
We build fibers into paper in amazing variety

38
00:04:29.590 --> 00:04:34.210
Some champion paper mills receive their wood in carloads of five-foot logs

39
00:04:35.950 --> 00:04:42.530
At one mill giant machines handle whole tree lengths and buzzing saws cut them to size

40
00:04:49.830 --> 00:04:55.610
By water-filled flumes and mechanical conveyors logs travel to turning drums

41
00:04:56.890 --> 00:05:03.170
Inside the tumbling logs strip each other of their bark since bark cannot be used to make paper

42
00:05:03.690 --> 00:05:11.590
But the bark is not wasted it can be burned for energy to power the mill or used for mulch and gardening products

43
00:05:12.210 --> 00:05:13.790
cleaned of their bark

44
00:05:13.790 --> 00:05:22.130
Logs journey on to the chipper where whirling blades chew them into postage stamp sized chips that are screened for uniformity

45
00:05:23.510 --> 00:05:25.690
Chips are blown into mountains

46
00:05:25.690 --> 00:05:29.690
Ample storage to feed the mills machines and keep them running

47
00:05:33.310 --> 00:05:37.110
From trees to logs from logs to chips

48
00:05:37.110 --> 00:05:43.990
The next step breaks wood down some more freeing its fibers for making pulp and then paper

49
00:05:44.510 --> 00:05:51.950
Inside the digester steam pressure and powerful chemicals called the cooking liquor pressure cook the wood chips

50
00:05:51.950 --> 00:05:57.350
Cooking and chemicals separate the individual wood fibers from the things that once held the wood together

51
00:05:58.250 --> 00:06:01.030
lignin resins saps and turpentine

52
00:06:01.830 --> 00:06:10.150
Like the bark spent cooking chemicals are not wasted first. They're recycled and treated to recover valuable chemicals

53
00:06:10.150 --> 00:06:12.330
What's left is burned?

54
00:06:12.370 --> 00:06:16.710
Creating more energy to run the mill and converting the chemicals for reuse

55
00:06:18.470 --> 00:06:23.670
Raw pulp from the digester must be washed clean of chemicals and impurities

56
00:06:23.670 --> 00:06:29.610
At this stage the brown pulp could be used to make coarse papers such as craft

57
00:06:29.610 --> 00:06:33.890
But fine printing papers must begin with clean white pulp

58
00:06:33.890 --> 00:06:40.410
So the pulpy brown mass of fibers is bleached in many stages by chlorine caustic

59
00:06:40.410 --> 00:06:42.710
hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide

60
00:06:43.410 --> 00:06:46.550
Use bleaching chemicals and other waste products

61
00:06:46.550 --> 00:06:54.130
Flow into a purifying system of settling ponds where they remain for weeks to be neutralized filtered and aerated

62
00:06:54.130 --> 00:06:58.110
then stabilized biologically by tiny microorganisms

63
00:06:58.710 --> 00:07:02.270
Only then does the water we borrowed return to its source

64
00:07:02.810 --> 00:07:06.230
pure enough to support aquatic life and

65
00:07:06.230 --> 00:07:08.270
Clean for people to use and enjoy

66
00:07:20.250 --> 00:07:25.230
To protect the environment champion papers has put its money where its concern is

67
00:07:26.050 --> 00:07:30.690
Millions every year for the most advanced environmental protection equipment

68
00:07:30.690 --> 00:07:33.590
many stage water treatment systems

69
00:07:34.130 --> 00:07:37.830
precipitators and scrubbers that trap tiny particles and odors

70
00:07:37.830 --> 00:07:42.590
This keeps the skies above champion paper mills clean

71
00:07:46.210 --> 00:07:50.690
Paper begins with the clean white fibers that pulping produced

72
00:07:50.690 --> 00:07:54.790
They're mixed with water and pumped to the front end of the paper machine

73
00:07:55.390 --> 00:08:01.450
Here carefully controlled quantities of long pine fibers and short hardwood fibers

74
00:08:01.450 --> 00:08:03.970
Join other materials and chemicals

75
00:08:04.550 --> 00:08:08.490
The mixture which paper makers call furnish is refined

76
00:08:09.130 --> 00:08:16.650
Whirling blades cut and fray the ends of each tiny fiber so they'll all matte together tightly on the paper machine

77
00:08:17.270 --> 00:08:24.730
The fiber chemical water mixture jets out of the head box onto a moving fine mesh screen called the wire

78
00:08:25.710 --> 00:08:32.730
At first the furnish contains 99 and a half percent water and only one half percent fibers as

79
00:08:33.750 --> 00:08:35.430
the wire speeds forward

80
00:08:35.430 --> 00:08:41.830
Water drains through its fine mesh leaving behind cellulose fibers that interlace and interweaves

81
00:08:43.010 --> 00:08:49.990
This simulation shows how the loosely matted web of fibers tightens as the wire speeds forward and

82
00:08:51.110 --> 00:08:53.250
in less than two seconds

83
00:08:53.250 --> 00:08:55.050
Fibers have become paper

84
00:08:56.970 --> 00:09:04.110
At the end of its swift journey down the wire the matte of new paper is picked up by a felt now the paper holds

85
00:09:04.110 --> 00:09:12.630
77% water then at 30 feet per second the paper web races over around and under steam-heated rolls

86
00:09:12.630 --> 00:09:17.230
That dry the paper some more binding its fibers tighter and tighter

87
00:09:17.890 --> 00:09:20.850
The paper gets its first finishing treatment

88
00:09:20.850 --> 00:09:26.750
Sizing or starch that smooths its surface and adds strength and water resistance

89
00:09:26.750 --> 00:09:31.550
while still running through the machine the new paper may receive another coating and

90
00:09:32.250 --> 00:09:38.410
Coated or uncoated it's calendared a smooth finish ironed on by heavy metal rollers

91
00:09:38.410 --> 00:09:40.410
Why put a coating on paper?

92
00:09:41.170 --> 00:09:47.130
For the answer we must turn to printing an important destination for many of champion papers products

93
00:09:47.130 --> 00:09:51.050
Printing requires a smooth even finish on which to lay down inks

94
00:09:51.630 --> 00:09:57.070
By coating paper with a solution made of fine white clay powders and other chemicals

95
00:09:57.610 --> 00:10:03.930
champion papers makes coated papers for booklets brochures magazines annual reports and

96
00:10:04.650 --> 00:10:05.990
thousands of other uses

97
00:10:07.270 --> 00:10:12.730
After coating either on the paper machine or on a special off-machine coater

98
00:10:12.730 --> 00:10:18.930
The new paper is supercalendar by running through a stack of alternating metal and fabric covered rollers

99
00:10:48.690 --> 00:10:54.910
Rolls of new paper run through a slitter whose razor-sharp blades divided into smaller rolls

100
00:10:54.910 --> 00:10:58.110
Some customers order their paper this way

101
00:11:00.310 --> 00:11:05.970
For those who want sheets rotary cutters convert paper rolls down to sheet size

102
00:11:06.830 --> 00:11:11.470
The process of making paper is intricate and the disciplines many

103
00:11:11.470 --> 00:11:12.710
But a variety of paper rolls are made in the same way

104
00:11:12.710 --> 00:11:18.150
The ability of laboratory tests monitor the paper's quality and consistency constantly

105
00:11:19.270 --> 00:11:22.770
To make paper the machinery is massive

106
00:11:22.770 --> 00:11:26.910
Some of champion papers machines stretch more than a quarter mile

107
00:11:27.490 --> 00:11:29.630
Their speed is fantastic

108
00:11:29.630 --> 00:11:34.170
Just one machine turns out a mile of paper every two minutes

109
00:11:36.890 --> 00:11:41.230
In the whirling churning mixture of pulp water and dyes

110
00:11:41.230 --> 00:11:44.350
We see one of paper's most important components

111
00:11:44.870 --> 00:11:45.590
color

112
00:11:45.590 --> 00:11:53.130
Subtle or bold light and bright color intrigues the mind in forms and delights the eye

113
00:11:53.750 --> 00:12:02.130
The end of the story of how paper is made is just the beginning for paper is the vehicle for ideas and the mirror of

114
00:12:02.130 --> 00:12:02.890
imagination

115
00:13:50.930 --> 00:13:52.330
You
