Food Packaging Calcium Carbonate Paper Tear Resistant Oilproof 375gsm

Stone paper is a type of specialty paper that is made from calcium carbonate 80% (limestone) and bio-polyethylene resin 20% (HDPE). The HDPE is used as a binder. Stone paper is an extremely environmentally friendly paper which is different from traditional paper because it has non wood-pulp.

Stone Paper has a direct influence on the environment. Replacing regular paper by Stone Paper results in a significant decrease in environmental impact. CO2 exhaustion is dramatically lower and above all, the production process is very clean. No water is used, no bleach or chemical solutions and of course not a single tree is felled.

We compared the sustainability of Stone Paper vs regular paper
Cradle-to-gate: we took in account all CO₂-exhaustion as a result of: attaining, processing and transporting of raw materials; producing the paper; transport from the factory, and intermediate storage, to the client. Stone Paper produces 474 kg CO2 per ton compared to 1.431 kg CO2 per ton for pulp paper.
Raw materials and their impact on the environment
Stone Paper: Calciumcarbonate (80%), originating from waste material from stone quarries, completely recyclable, recycle-percentage 58%. Recycled HDPE (20%), completely recyclable, recycle-percentage 27% Pulp paper: wood pulp is produced from wood, for this 18 trees are required, wood pulp can be recycled up to 8 times max, recycle-percentage 69%, 92% of forests for pulp-production has a certificate for sustainable forestation.
Comparison: 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, which can only be replaced after slowly growing them back. Pulp paper has a higher recycling percentage than Stone Paper, but can only be recycled up to 8 times.
Water consumption during production
Stone Paper: the production process is free from water consumption: 0 liter water per 1.000 kg Pulp paper: during production 35.000 liter of water is used, of this 2.770 liter per 1.000 kg pulp paper is consumed and the rest is re-used later.
Comparison: By choosing for 1.000 kg of Stone Paper over 1.000 kg of pulp paper the consumption of 2.770 liter of water is prevented. This is equal to the drink water consumption (coffee, tea, glass of water, etc.) of an average person over the course of more than 50 months.
Waste that is not re-used during the production process
Stone Paper: no waste during the production process: 0 kg waste per 1.000 kg Pulp paper: almost no waste during the production process: 15 kg waste per 1.000 kg.
Comparison: Both types of paper have a very low waste percentage. Stone Paper scores slightly better on this area than pulp paper.
