While no two trees are perfectly alike, it’s not difficult to make an estimate. Let’s take a Jackpine as an example – 25 metres high, 30 centimeters in diameter. Its weight on a scale would be 1,040 kilograms, and its yield of pulp would be 50% (mathematically, it’s pulp produced versus the weight of the wood).
This equates to 520 kilograms of pulp. If the pulp is turned to paper, you would have 119,100 sheets of paper. That’s one long book.
