This innovative carrier bag has multiple uses and one of them is food! They are food safe and also hold the appropriate certification for food transportation.
The water-repellant properties of the material ensure stability and appearance even during bad weather conditions.
Stone Paper is made using an eco-friendly production process that does not utilise water, bleach, acids or toxic chemicals and also does not create air pollution.

In comparison one tonne of traditional wood pulp paper (wood pulp paper is needed for traditional production), requires around 20 tall trees, 60,000 litres of water and can only be recycled up to 7 times meaning that natural forests are often cut or burned down to plant non indigenous, fast growing trees.
We use soy or water based inks when we print on our Stone Paper products which are a non toxic and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional oil based inks.
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is the most commonly recycled plastic and is considered one of the safest forms of plastic. It is a simple and cost effective process to recycle HDPE plastic for secondary use.

Since the global volume of Stone Paper is very low compared to the pulp paper, at it's current low volume it can be put in any recycling stream such as paper, plastic, glass, etc without adversely affecting or damaging the existing recycling streams.
