Due to Stone paper's revolutionary manufacturing process, the sustainability and
environmental certifications for stone paper are different to traditional pulp paper.
Obviously, no forest certification, such as FSC,or PEFC is required for stone paper.

The following are various international environment standards and certificates which
Stone Paper has secured or complies with or undertaking.

The manufacture of Stone Paper has:

- ROHS Testing www.rohs-international.com. No chemicals,heavy metals or minerals
(heavy metals) known to be dangerous to humans or the environment were detected.

- FDA Compliance Certificate for the code of Federal Regulations with respect to soluble
and extractable matter as an environmental paper and foodgrade suitability.

- ISO 9001 Accreditation

- ISO14001 Accreditation

- Government Certified for Quality Assurance and as an environmetal paper.

- PAS2050 for carbon footprinting

- Cradle to Cradle Silver certification

The processing and milling of CaCO3 from waste stone and non toxic resin is performed
under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, by two companies.

1) Calcium Carbonate: CaCo3

The production essentially utilizes a proprietary method of pulverizing lime stone (By-product of the construction industry), to a fine powder and subsequently binding it together using a very small portion of polyethelyne, which is a non-toxic and fully recyclable resin. Once the process is completed, the composition of the stone paper is 80-82% Stone (Calcium Carbonate) and 18-20% Polyethelyne.

The production process of stone paper is also very eco conscious as it requires 50% less energy to produce 1 ton of stone paper compared to regular pulp paper. The production factory runs off electricity sourced from coal, making the energy source also ecological. We are presently working with local governments to subsidize the costs of building wind power infrastructures on the factory grounds, thus adding additional benefits to its production.


Stone Paper is a bleach free, naturally white paper which has been designed specifically for offset or flexo printing. Its many benefits make this paper fast drying, scorable, foldable, great for binding and an excellent choice for die-cutting as it produces sharp, clean edges.

We only use veggie ink to print on Stone Paper which is widely recognized as the environmentally friendly choice.

Important: Stone Paper is presently not digital or inkjet printer friendly.
