Management information systems process raw data from office processing systems, such as desktop computers and mobile applications, and transaction processing systems, such as retail point-of-sale systems. The output is sometimes in the form of reports that present aggregated data, which facilitates analysis and decision making.
The cellulose fibers are stuck together with a natural glue called lignin.. When the lignin is removed and the cellulose fibers are separated and reorganized, paper can be made. It's also possible to make paper from a variety of other types of plant fibers, such as cotton, flax, bamboo, and hemp.
Chemicals are used to separate lignin from the cellulose fibers, leaving a pulp mixture that can make stronger papers. Depending on what type of paper is desired, the pulp mixture might need to be bleached to create whiter paper. Papermakers use a variety of chemicals to bleach pulp to the color they want.
