From ancient scrolls to modern notebooks, paper has played a crucial role in recording and sharing human knowledge. However, the process of paper production has had a significant negative impact on our planet, with deforestation, pollution, energy consumption, and waste problems plaguing the industry. But fear not, because Quill And Fox has found a sustainable solution that’s sure to turn over a new leaf – stone paper! Yes, you heard that right – paper made from stone. This innovative approach not only saves trees but also offers a superior writing experience. Let’s delve into why Quill And Fox has embraced stone paper and why you should too.
Stone Paper: What is it?
Stone paper is an innovative material that emerged in Taiwan during the late 1990s. Initially used as a coating film in the food industry, it has gained popularity in various customer applications. Stone paper is made from calcium carbonate or limestone, which is ground into a fine powder and mixed with a small amount of non-toxic resin. The resulting material is smooth, durable, and waterproof, making it ideal for packaging, printing, and writing.
Unlike traditional paper, stone paper doesn’t require cutting down trees and uses far less water and energy in its production. It is also recyclable and biodegradable, making it a sustainable alternative. Stone paper is also known as rock paper, mineral paper, or synthetic paper, and has gained popularity as an eco-friendly choice.
Why we love it?
Stone paper is a game-changer in the paper industry and a great alternative for the environmentally conscious.
