Whereas normal paper is made using wood pulp, leading to concerns, such as deforestation and climate change because of this, Synthetic Papers belong to a family of papers derived from synthetic resins, as the name suggests. Despite being a 100% "tree-free" alternative to standard paper, there are some common features among both these materials, including the use of optical brighteners and mineral fillers to achieve the smoothness, brightness, and opacity associated with regular papers. The use of normal papers has come down considerably and Synthetic Papers have taken over as appropriate replacements because of some of their outstanding properties, such as resistance to moisture, tearing, oils & numerous chemicals, in addition to durability & sustainability. The wider adoption of these papers in the chemical, food & beverage, personal care & cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals sectors has further spurred demand for them.
