Abstract: Paper is a fundamental part of most aspects of society; worldwide a total of approximately three hundred million tons of paper are produced each day and approximately 90% of this paper is produced from mature pulp wood. In addition, the demand of paper is expected to increase. Today the finest of paper are produced all over the world. But one dismaying fact is that millions of trees are fell in a day to make paper. Increase demands of paper production and limited wood resources have directed researchers to look for appropriate additional resources of non-wood material (waste papers) for pulp and paper manufacturing. Setting up of handmade paper unit has the capability of recycling waste paper and cotton rags into fine quality handmade paper. Not only does this initiative conserve environmental resources but also helps in providing employment to pupil from the unskilled and marginalized strata of society.
