Stone Paper
What is it?
Stone Paper is exactly what it sounds like: paper made from crushed stone rather than from wood-pulp, in a process that is vastly better for the environment than the production of traditional paper.
Our Stone Paper is a fantastic product, and when buying any of our Stone Paper products, we compensate every purchase with the planting of one tree, contributing to a positive environmental impact.

How to care for it
When regular paper come into contact with a liquid, it’s fibers will swell which causes the paper to deform. Stone Paper, on the other hand, is waterproof and liquids have no effect on the material. If it gets wet, you can simply dry it. The possibilities for stone paper applications are endless since the material does not stain, is waterproof and does not tear easily.
Recycling & circularity
Stone paper is recyclable, the materials can be turned into more stone paper, recycled with other HDPE plastics and re-used. While a lot of tree-based paper is recycled, you cannot recycle paper indefinitely. Every time paper is recycled, the fibers shorten. It is estimated that paper can be recycled 4-6 times.
How to recycle
Waste-to-energy, plastic-bin or let it photodegrade in nature.
