What is stone paper?
THE stone paper, also called mineral paper, is made from 80% calcium carbonate, originating from quarry waste, and from 20% recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a non-toxic and food-safe resin (certified 1935/2004). Unlike traditional paper, its production requires neither water nor wood, thus eliminating deforestation and water consumption. It is infinitely recyclablesaves 500,000 liters of water per ton produced, and reduces emissions CO2 of 900 kg per tonne compared to plastic. Furthermore, it is naturally waterproof, grease resistant, more durable than regular paper, and offers a soft and pleasant texture to the touch.
Environmental benefits
Stone paper stands out for its numerous ecological advantages:
- Use of recycled resources : By utilizing quarry waste and recycled plastic, it reduces dependence on virgin raw materials.
- Water conservation Its water-free manufacturing process saves an essential resource, unlike traditional paper production which consumes a huge amount of it.
- Emissions reduction : With 900 kg less CO2 per tonne compared to plastic, it helps to limit the carbon impact.
- Unlimited recycling Stone paper can be recycled indefinitely, supporting a sustainable circular economy.
