Early paper in the West, particularly during the medieval period, was primarily made from linen rags, which were recycled and processed into pulp. This method was adapted from earlier paper-making techniques developed in China, where materials like mulberry bark and hemp were used. The use of rags allowed for a more durable and high-quality paper, which became essential for manuscripts and printed works. Eventually, as the demand for paper increased, other materials such as wood pulp began to be utilized in the 19th century.
