Eli5 why we use trees to produce paper.

Everybody uses paper. Why are we waiting for trees to grow only to cut them down to produce paper? It takes an incredible amount of time for a tree to grow, whereas other plants grow faster, why not use those plants

Hemp and bamboo would be a more practical source than trees due to how quickly they grow, and the massive applications they both have. As consumer paper demand gradually decreases as our information and communication is primarily electronic, the hemp and bamboo can still be used for all kinds of materials like: Fabric, rope, building materials, medicinal applications, agricultural applications, and more. We could increase green space and renewable resources, and decrease net negative practices.
