Describe the process of how a tree gets transformed into a notebook that we use daily. Discuss the different stages and the value addition at each stage.
The conversion of a tree into a notebook involves several stages. Initially, the tree is cut down and transported to a pulp mill, where the wood is processed into wood pulp. This pulp is then mixed with chemicals and transformed into paper. At the press, chemicals in the form of ink are used to print the lines on the pages. These pages are then assembled and bound into a notebook, packed, and sent out for sale. The notebook's value is enhanced at each production stage, resulting in a finished product that is more valuable and useful than the raw tree from which it originated.
