Stone Paper is a new generation of paper and an excellent alternative to traditional paper. it’s tree-free paper that consists almost entirely out of minerals.
1. 100% waterproof
Liquids such as water and oil do not affect Stone Paper.
No wood fibers
The swelling of food fibers destroys woodpulp-paper when it comes in contact with liquid. Result: deformation of the print surface and a destroyed product.
Stone Paper is 100% waterproof and liquids have no effect on the material. If it gets wet, you can simply dry it.
2. 100% Tree free. Stone Paper saves trees.
1 ton Stone Paper instead of woodpulp paper means oxygen for 40 people a year.
Completely produced from waste product.
18 trees need to be cut down for 1 ton woodpulp paper.
Stone Paper consists entirely out of waste and recycled material and therefore has a much lower impact on the environment. For a ton of woodpulp paper, 18 trees need to be cut down which are then replaced with fast growing trees that destroy the bio-diversity. Pulp paper can be recycled 7 times but each process has the same destructive effect on the environment.
MADE OF STONE DUST
Stone paper is a type of paper that is made out of calcium carbonate 80% (limestone) and bio-polyethylene resin 20% (HDPE). In this case, the HDPE is used as a binder. Thereby, limestone from existing limestone quarries is being used as the raw material and processed into a fine powder.
WITHOUT CHEMICAL BLEACH
The color of Stone paper is originally white, therefore it does not require any further bleaching process. Because of its high density, stone paper products also retain their shape over time.
WATERPROOF AND WASHABLE
Due to its composition, stone paper is waterproof, resistant to grease and washable. The feel is similar to that of tissue paper.
BACK TO NATURE
The products are disposed and recycled in the normal way. Here, the stone paper is turned back into calcium carbonate and becomes limestone again.
