Who should use FiberStone Paper?

Being completely tree-free, FiberStone Paper is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to help conserve one of our earth’s valuable carbon absorbing resources--TREES.

Can FiberStone Paper be used as a substitute for virgin or recycled paper?

Yes! It can be used to substitute traditional papers used in the printing industry, such as Synthetic Paper & Film, Premium Coated Paper, Recycled Paper, and PVC Sheet. Being impervious to water it can also be very useful for outdoor applications.

What materials is FiberStone Paper made from?

FiberStone Paper is made from 80% Calcium Carbonate (CaCOŠ·) with a small quantity (20%) of non-toxic resin (HDPE- High Density Polyethylene). The Calcium Carbonate comes from limestone collected as waste material from existing quarries for the building and construction industry. It is ground up down to a fine powder like chalk and the HDPE acts as a binder for the Calcium Carbonate. Together these materials create a substrate that is both water and tear resistant!
