In the Kraft pulping process the wood is soaked in Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda), Sodium Sulfite and water. In recycling paper can be made into pulp by disolving into water. I can give more details if needed just ask.

Water is the solvent. Chlorine gas or Bleach is added. The chlorine will work on the lignin in the wood pulp so that it starts to break down into smaller pieces of cellulose fiber. Once the fibers are separated, the cellulose can be filtered out to form paper.

water by far the greatest. But even then 1000 kg of paper from recycled material conserves about 7,000 US gal (26,000 L) of water compared to manufacture of "virgin" paper
