RPD120um Stone Paper Roll 80% Calcium Carbonate 20% PE For Wrapping Packaging

Stone paper is a completely non-toxic, biodegradable alternative to paper. It is suited for many types of printing including offset lithography and screenprint. True to the name, Stone paper consists mostly of calcium carbonate, a substance found in rocks and is completely tree-free. The paper will degrade safely, without the exhaustion of harmful gasses, and be completely gone in 9 to 12 months if left in nature. It can also be easily burned without the release of harmful gasses.

Stone paper has some attractive characteristics as a writing material. At first touch, you can tell the sheets aren’t normal wood-based paper. The pages are smoother, and you have to make an effort to tear them. Ink writes just as well, or perhaps even better, although some gel inks may take a minute or two to dry completely. In many ways stone papers like Repap seem to reinvigorate paper with aspects you always wished paper had. It’s durable, oil and tear resistant, and waterproof, and since you can fold it like paper your airplane-making days may not be as numbered as you thought before.

Unique characteristics

Stone Paper is a new generation of paper and an excellent alternative to traditional paper. it’s tree-free paper that consists almost entirely out of minerals.

1. 100% waterproof

Liquids such as water and oil do not affect Stone Paper.

No wood fibers
The swelling of food fibers destroys woodpulp-paper when it comes in contact with liquid. Result: deformation of the print surface and a destroyed product.
Stone Paper is 100% waterproof and liquids have no effect on the material. If it gets wet, you can simply dry it.

2. 100% Tree free. Stone Paper saves trees.

1 ton Stone Paper instead of woodpulp paper means oxygen for 40 people a year.

Completely produced from waste product.
18 trees need to be cut down for 1 ton woodpulp paper.

Stone Paper consists entirely out of waste and recycled material and therefore has a much lower impact on the environment. For a ton of woodpulp paper, 18 trees need to be cut down which are then replaced with fast growing trees that destroy the bio-diversity. Pulp paper can be recycled 7 times but each process has the same destructive effect on the environment.

3. Save 2270 liter water

1 ton Stone Paper instead of woodpulp paper means 142 days of showering.

Stone Paper: Zero water usage
35.000 liters of water is necessary for the production of woodpulp paper.

During the production of 1 ton of woodpulp paper 2.770 liter out of 35.000 is lost. So using Stone Paper saves 2.770 liter of water, the equivalent of 50 glasses of water per person per month.

4. Reduce 949kg CO2

During the production of 1 ton of Stone Paper instead of woodpulp, you save the amount of CO2 that would be expended on a journey of 4.520 km by car.

Stone Paper 482 kg CO2, Pulp papier 1.431 kg CO2.
The CO2 emission from production to end-user: the CO2 emission caused by the production process, transport and raw materials. The emission is 67% lower than woodpulp paper. Choosing for Stone Paper is comparable to preventing the CO2 emission of a trip from Amsterdam to Jerusalem by car.

5. Save 85% energy

1 ton Stone Paper instead of woodpulp paper means saving the equivalent energy usage of an average household over 1.5 years.

Stone Paper needs 3,1 Gigajoules, woodpulp paper 20,4 Gigajoules.
For 1 ton Stone Paper you only need 3,1 Gigajoule energy due the very effecient production process. So the required energy is only 15% of that of woodpulp paper.

6. No chemicals

These chemicals are necessary to bleach woodpulp fibers..

Stone Paper uses no harmful chemicals.
During the production of woodpulp paper, various harmful chemicals are used to kill the microbes and bleach the material. Stone Paper requires none of these chemicals..

Stone paper is naturally tree-free, no water and chemicals are required to make it. The production of stone paper is therefore more economical and even produces 67% less CO2 emissions compared to the production of pulp paper. Moreover, stone paper can be recycled endlessly, without having to add new raw materials.
