sustainable development! About the raw materials and sustainability of stone paper

Stone paper, also known as mineral paper rock paper, is a paper-like material made from calcium carbonate, a common mineral found in rocks such as mudstone and marble. Here are some details about the sustainability of stone paper

1. Production Process: Stone paper is produced from a type of ore, which is made from limestone or marble. The powder is then mixed with a small amount of non-toxic resin. High density polyethylene) as an adhesive to create smooth, flexible stone paper.

2. Environmental impact: Reduced resource use, stone paper claims to be more environmentally friendly than traditional pulp paper because it does not require re-burning of wood, which reduces pressure on forests and other ecosystems that are often affected by logging.

Water consumption: Compared with the traditional paper making process, it generally does not require any drop of water during the production process.

Chemical use: Stone paper production does not use any chemicals and bleach than traditional paper, it is food grade.

3.Recyclability: In the process of separating calcium carbonate from the plastic binder, the stone is technically recyclable. This process is not common in standard recycled paper compared to conventional paper, which limits its overall recyclability.

4.Durability: Stone paper is known for its durability and waterproof properties, it is waterproof, so it is suitable for outdoor signage, notebook and packaging and other applications where durability is required.

5. Biodegradability:to handle plastics, stone paper is photo-degradable.

6.Energy Consumption: The production of stone paper generally consumes les energy compared to traditional paper production, mainly due to reduced progestin steps.
