The paper is 100% recyclable in a Stream 1 and Stream 2 recycling process. We recommend Stream 2 because of its non-fibre properties, although it will not cause any disruptions if places in a Stream 1 with other papers as the Stream already processes large amounts of polyethelyne and calcium carbonate.

Stone paper is 100% Compostable, in a properly controlled composting environment. Additionally, Stone paper will also act as an acid neutralizer, due to its alkaline properties, thus reducing the acidity levels in compost bins. As with all compostable products, we do not recommend compacting the paper, as it will not have the proper oxygenation required to break down. 

Stone Paper is garbage friendly due to its high proportion of Calcium carbonate (Stone). Since garbage dumps cause excessive acidity in the soil, the stone paper will act as a natural acid neutralizer, drastically reducing the toxic levels in garbage dumps.

Stone paper requires No trees whatsoever during it’s production.
In fact, 1 ton of stone paper can save up to 23 trees.

Stone paper requires No water whatsoever at its production. This point alone is the most revolutionary benefit in the production of Stone Paper. The regular pulp paper industry is the most responsible culprit for the Earth’s water pollution. We must recognize that besides deforestation, and the extreme dangers our forests are facing, our planet’s water supply is being contaminated at an alarming rate, thus causing our Earth’s drinking water supply to become very scarce and expensive.

Stone paper is a breath of fresh air for our water supply, saving over 7400 gallons of water for every ton produced.

Stone paper requires no toxic or chemical bleach to render the paper white, as the lime stone used during its production is naturally white. This is yet another revolutionary aspect of Stone Paper. Incidentally, this is one of the main factors why there is no water used at its production.

Stone Paper is composed of 80 to 82% Calcium carbonate and 18-20% polyethelyne, which is a non toxic recyclable and re-usable resin. As such, the paper has no biological properties whatsoever and has no fibres or grains as well. These unique properties are essential to avoiding bacteria to infiltrate the paper, since the bacteria would have nowhere to penetrate or attach itself into.

Regular pulp paper and all substrates and recyclable versions of paper, such as FSC paper, elephant poo paper, bamboo paper and more, all derive from biological sources and therefore are bound to their standard fibrous properties, thus allowing bacteria to easily penetrate and remain active when the paper is being handed from one person to the next over long periods of time. Even if we were to run water over the fibrous paper and try to rub out all the bacteria, a large part of that bacteria would remain safely enclosed within the fibres of the paper. This is simply impossible with Stone paper as the bacteria would simply be washed off is the same process of washing were applied...Without damaging the structure of the paper itself I might add.

There are synthetic papers that offer very similar antibacterial properties, but obviously their ecological footprints and negative carbon effects out weight their antibacterial properties.

Regular pulp paper and all substrates and recyclable versions of paper, such as FSC paper, elephant poo paper, bamboo paper and more, all derive from biological sources and therefore are bound to their standard fibrous properties, thus allowing water to easily penetrate and drastically reduce it's strength and resistance. There are synthetic papers that offer very similar water resistant properties, but obviously their ecological footprints and negative carbon effects out weight those properties.

Stone paper is composed of limestone and polyethelyne, therefore the small amount of resin (It's only binding agent) allows the paper to have a very strong body and become tear resistant. In fact, the thicker the stone paper stock, the more likely it will resist tearing. This is exceptionally valuable as the paper not only lasts longer, but also offers incredible advantages when compared to regular pulp paper.
*Many synthetic papers offer the same properties, but obviously don't come with the same ecological benefits of stone paper*

Stone paper requires no water or bleach at it's production, completely eliminating all possibilities of creating water pollutants.

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 of 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.

Since the production requires less energy to produce, there is 1/3 less air pollutants emitted into the ozone from its production.



Due to its non-toxic properties and ecological advantages, the stone paper production deposits almost NO solid waste after production, making it another incredible benefit.

Stone Paper has been tested in various ways around the world, and some grades of the paper have been certified Cradle to Cradle™ by some other supplier companies. Meaning that it leaves ZERO carbon footprint on the planet.
