Etymology

The term 'pulping' originates from the late 19th century, derived from the word 'pulp,' which refers to the soft, moist mass of material. The process itself gained prominence with the industrial revolution as the demand for paper and wood-derived products increased. Early methods of pulping were largely mechanical, utilizing physical force to disintegrate wood fibers. With advancements in chemistry and technology, chemical pulping methods were developed, leading to more efficient and higher quality pulp production. Over the years, pulping techniques have evolved to include various environmental considerations and sustainability practices, reflecting the growing awareness of ecological impact.
