Hi Dillon,
Welcome to the wonderful world of paper making! The commercial paper making process is much different than that of at-home paper making which makes it difficult to provide an accurate answer to your question.
We recommend that you reach out to a paper making workshop which you can easily find online. Here is a link to the Women's Studio Workshop Papermaking webpage, https://wsworkshop.org/studios/papermaking/. The experts at these types of workshops can provide insight on the type of raw material to pulp as well as tips and tricks to papermaking.
Additionally, Youtube and other video platforms are a great way to learn the process. Here is a link to a video which does a good job showing the process and the types of paper you can pulp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrD08lbJ6-8

I am a complete newbie at making paper. I am only using old scrap paper around the house to make my pulp. I couldn't find any clear answers online; is it ok to use brown paper bags from the grocery story and egg cartons? I am running all my paper through a shredder and then a blender.
Thanks in advance!
