Photodegradable Synthetic Paper Waterproof Tear Resistant Coated Stone Paper For Wrapper Stationery Disposable Bags
Stone paper is made using calcium carbonate, a compound found in rocks, and bio-resin. The two materials are combined to form a non-toxic and recyclable material that has the texture and look of regular paper. The production process involves crushing the calcium carbonate into powder, melting the resin, combining the two ingredients together and then cooling them. Once cooled, the mixture is extruded through rollers which form sheets of stone paper. The sheets are then cut into desired sizes for use as stationery items such as notebooks or cards.
Stone Paper is produced entirely from recycled waste material and has a minimal impact on the environment, all the while 18 trees are required to be chopped down to produce 1.000 kg of pulp paper. Also it takes consumption of 2.770 liter of water to create 1.000 kg of tree pulp paper and with Roca stone paper any water consumption is prevented.
Energy use and carbon emissions
We take carbon emissions seriously. So seriously that we’re
neutral.
It takes a lot of energy to process timber trees into the pages of
a notebook. In fact, in order to produce a metric tonne of
traditional paper, almost 6 times more energy is required than
stone paper.
We use solar energy to power the development of our paper. Karst’s
stone paper has a 60% smaller carbon footprint than regular paper.
But making our carbon footprint smaller is not enough— we need to
neutralise it altogether. We invest in carbon offsets to make sure
nothing we do is at the expense of the planet. This is done with a
partnership with Carbon Neutral. Click here to learn more!
Waste production & recyclability
When making traditional paper, it’s not possible to convert
absolutely 100% of a tree into paper. Even when making traditional
paper from recycled material, solid waste is produced. To make one
metric tonne of traditional paper, over 150 kilograms of solid
waste is produced. When making traditional paper from recycled
materials, there is even more solid waste (190 kg), as recycled
paper contains more impurities. While it is possible to recycle
paper multiple times, there is a finite limit— it can only be
recycled a maximum of 5 to 7 times.
When making stone paper, the waste and scraps that are produced
come from end cuts from rounding out the corners of pages or test
batches. Much like the closed-circuit water system, stone paper
produces no solid waste as the scraps can be recycled into more
stone paper in the next batch. Unlike traditional paper, stone
paper can be recycled indefinitely.
While the cellulose in plant fibres becomes compromised when
processed multiple times, calcium carbonate remains intact, meaning
it can be recycled over and over again.
Stone paper combines advantages of paper and plastic
Stone paper bags and promotional materials are the ecological and
modern alternative to traditional plastic carrier bags. If you want
to make your high-quality advertising media sustainable in the
future, then you have come to the right place.
“Stone paper” is a revolutionary limestone material, a naturally
occurring resource. Not only because of its environmentally
friendly manufacturing method, it is a real alternative to the
usual materials such as paper or plastic, and the elegant
appearance makes your advertising materials a complete success.
Like polyethylene, Stone Paper is durable and waterproof. However,
as it decomposes into dust again only after a short time due to the
influence of wind and weather, it can compete with biodegradable
plastic. Due to its easy formability and foldability as well as the
extremely high-quality look and feel, stone paper is comparable to
classic paper and just as easily printable.
Stone paper products bring with them all the advantages they expect
from a quality carrying bag. Compared to a paper or plastic bag,
however, they hardly pollute the environment.
Due to its stability and its modern design, the stone paper bag can
also be used as an alternative to fabric or jute bags. Although the
popular printable fabric bag is often made from organic cotton, the
water used to make this material is gigantic.
