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

many places don’t actually use trees to make paper. trees are used to make lumber, and the saw dust and what’s left over is made into paper products.

i’d want my toilet paper to disintegrate as quickly as possible after it’s used. not a fan of ‘flushable wipes’ etc.
