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

I don’t know what the percentage is, but cardboard gets recycled over and over. For the potato chip companies, they re-use their cardboard boxes over and over to carry the chips around. When they’re thrashed, they recycle them. So that’s a pretty great product. Plus it bio degrades. Cats love card board boxes. Kids love cardboard boxes. Frankly, it’s a miracle product.
