I think these "people" are uninformed....wood chips, the by product, AFTER a tree has been used for OTHER (lumber for homes, etc.) purposes....are what make paper, according to my Paper Industry (pulp & paper) husband. Paper is the WASTE product of a tree that cannot be used for other larger purposes. In other words their argument is faulty.

Not exactly. Some trees are cut for pulp specifically.

I've been to a paper mill in Texarkana. They bring whole logs of freshly cut loblolly pine and use every atom of it. Anything of the pine not used for paper (typically the bark) is used as fuel for the plant.
