Can Stone Paper make revolution in packing industry??
Stone paper is still in its formative years as a commercial material, but as people begin to hear about its properties it may soon become very common. In the last few years, there have been a couple of very successful Kickstarter campaigns for stone paper notebooks, including a brand we’ve supported from its first days – Stone. So we’ve helped answer the question, what is stone paper?
Stone paper is a completely non-toxic, biodegradable alternative to paper. It is suited for many types of printing including offset lithography and screenprint. True to the name, Stone paper consists mostly of calcium carbonate, a substance found in rocks and is completely tree-free. The paper will degrade safely, without the exhaustion of harmful gasses, and be completely gone in 9 to 12 months if left in nature. It can also be easily burned without the release of harmful gasses.
