Who should use FiberStone® Paper?

Being a completely tree-free paper ie. a paper made of stone, FiberStone® Paper is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to help conserve one of our earth’s valuable carbon storing resources--TREES.

Can FiberStone® Paper be used as a substitute for virgin or recycled paper?   What about film?

Yes! stone paper 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. FiberStone® stone paper is photodegradable after a period of about 14-18 months!

What materials is FiberStone® Paper made from?

FiberStone® Paper, which is also known as stone paper or rock 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!
