Comprehensive resource enhancement

It is estimated that 5% of a tree is used to produce a ream of paper (500 sheets). It is normally ignored that when a tree is cut down, almost all of it is used: every part of it is used to derive maximum value.
The wood will be used for home construction and furniture; the pulp (i.e., the thinner part) will be processed to become paper, cardboard and textiles; the branches and tops, along with forest industry residues, will undergo processing into products such as bioenergy, biofuels and other derivatives.
