We compared the sustainability of Stone Paper vs regular

\

The planet is the ultimate beneficiary.

Stone Paper is a product that has a direct impact on the environment. It is a great alternative to regular paper. It has a much lower environmental impact. The CO2 emission is significantly lower, and the production process itself is extremely clean. No water, bleach, or chemical solution is used, and not even a single tree is cut down.

Stone Paper and regular paper were compared for their sustainability.

• Cradle to the gate: We took into account the CO2 emissions resulting from obtaining, processing, and transporting raw materials, producing the paper, transporting the product from the factory and intermediate storage, and transporting the product to the customer. Stone Paper emits 474 kg of CO2 for every ton, compared to the 1.431 kg per ton produced by pulp paper.
• Raw Materials and their Impact on the EnvironmentStone paper: Calcium carbonate (80%), originating from waste materials from stone quarries. Completely recyclable, the recycle percentage is 58%. Recycled HDPE (80%) is completely recyclable, with a recycling percentage of 27%. Pulp Paper: Wood pulp is made from wood. Eighteen trees are needed to produce wood pulp.
• Comparison Stone Paper, produced from 100% recycled waste, has a minimal environmental impact. However, 18 trees must be cut down to make 1.000 kg of pulp paper. These trees can only be replaced by slowly growing back. Pulp paper is more recyclable than Stone Paper, but only up to eight times.
• Water consumption during production
• Stone paper: The production process does not consume water. No litres of water are used per 1.000kg of pulp paper: 35.000 litres of water are consumed during production, of which 2.770 grams per 1.000kg of pulp paper is used, and the remainder is reused later.
• The consumption of 2,770 litres of water can be avoided by choosing Stone Paper instead of Pulp Paper for 1.000 kilograms. It is the same as drinking water (coffee or tea, a glass of water, etc.). This is the average water consumption of a person for more than 50 months.
• Waste generated during production that cannot be reused
• Stone paper: No waste during production: 0 kg per 1.000kg Pulp Paper: Nearly no waste: 15 kg per 1.000kg
• Both types of paper are very waste-free. Stone Paper is slightly more efficient in this area than pulp.
