What is stone paper? A carrier of environmental revolution

Stone paper, also known as mineral paper or wood-free paper, is a new type of paper with calcium carbonate as the main raw material. Unlike traditional paper, which requires cutting down trees and using a lot of water, the production of stone paper does not use wood pulp and does not require bleaching process, which greatly reduces the damage to the environment. It is mainly composed of about 80% limestone powder and about 20% polymer resin, and is extruded by physical means.

Stone paper is not only environmentally friendly, but also has advantages that traditional paper cannot match, such as waterproof, insect-proof, and not easy to tear. Its surface is smooth and writing is smooth, which is especially suitable for making packaging, brochures, maps, notebooks and even children’s books. At present, stone paper has gradually entered the mainstream market and is regarded as the “green revolution in the paper industry.”

Although the cost of stone paper is slightly higher than that of ordinary paper, with the advancement of technology and the promotion of large-scale production, the price is expected to drop further. It points us to a new path of sustainable development and is a practical example of modern environmental protection concepts.
