Stone Paper
Stone-Paper prints & finishes like traditional wood pulp fibre papers and has the versatility and durability of synthetic papers.
Stone-Paper has minimal environmental impact - it is the world’s most environmentally friendly paper.
What is Stone-Paper?
Stone-Paper is an earth friendly, energy efficient and an acid free paper that is neither synthetic nor wood pulp fibre based
Stone-Paper is a natural product manufactured from calcium carbonate, CaCO3, powder using proprietary additives as a bonding agent. The calcium carbonate is collected as waste material at existing limestone quarries and is ground up into a fine white chalk powder. A small quantity of non-toxic resin is then added and together these materials are converted into a printable substrate.
Advantages
- Anti Static
- Acid Free
- No Grain Direction
- Water Resistant
- Grease Resistant
- Tear Resistant
- Insect Resistant
Stone-Paper is Environmental Preferable
Stone-Paper is made by an unconventional papermaking process which results in lower cost, lower energy utilization, and a lower environmental impact on our earth.
Stone-Paper is environmental preferable to all wood pulp fibre papers as its manufacturing process,
- Is absolutely 100% tree free
- Has low carbon emissions
- Uses less energy
- Generates no effluent
- Uses no water, acid, blench or other chemicals
- Recycles all waste Stone-Paper
Stone-Paper is photodegradable and able to be recycled into either paper or plastic channels.
Our research indicates that the manufacture of one tonne of Stone-Paper instead of one tonne of wood pulp fibre paper,
- Saves 20 trees
- Water borne waste is reduced by 19.05 kgs
- Water flow of 28.31 litres is saved
- Atmospheric emissions are reduced by 107.1 kgs
- Energy savings of 6 million BTU’s.
One tonne of stone produces one tonne of Stone-Paper but it requires 4 tonnes of wood to produce only one tonne of traditional wood pulp fibre paper.
Who should use Stone-Paper?
Anyone wanting to help conserve TREES which are one of earth’s most valuable carbon storing resources should use Stone-Paper because it is a completely wood pulp fibre free paper.
