Bleached Paper

Bleached paper is paper that has been chemically treated to remove its natural brown or off-white color, resulting in a whiter and brighter appearance. The bleaching process typically involves the use of substances like chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, or oxygen compounds to eliminate lignina the component in wood pulp responsible for its dark color.

This type of paper is commonly used for printing, writing, packaging, and hygiene products due to its clean and uniform look. While bleached paper offers aesthetic and functional advantages, its production can raise environmental concerns depending on the chemicals used.
