Study Notes

Facial tissue may have originated in Japan in the 17th century.
Modern-day tissues were first marketed in the 1920s as disposable cloth for wiping off cold cream.
Tissues are made from recycled paper, specifically used computer printer paper.
The paper is broken up into fibers and mixed with water to create pulp.
The pulp is injected with air to detach ink from fibers and drained off.
The pulp is then fed through rollers to squeeze out dirty water and rinsed with clean water.
The pulp is injected evenly across a screen conveyor belt and passed through rollers to press out water, then dried by hot air to become a thin sheet of paper.
The paper is transformed into tissues using a converting machine that folds and cuts the paper into precise sizes.
The tissues are packaged automatically by robots and glued shut with a removable tab on top for easy access to tissues.
Three-ply tissues are produced by processing six rolls into two sheets of three plies each, then folding them in the same interlocking fashion.
