The remedy for paper waste.

We have new paper stocks in from the beautiful Frogmore PaperMill! Seeing and feeling these textured papers made from grass, petals, seeds and even reindeer droppings got us thinking about the environmental benefits or this form of recycling. So we found someone who can tell you more about it than we can!

"The amount of paper filling up your local landfill is staggering and increasing every day. Wasted paper and paper products make up over a third of landfill waste these days. Individuals and companies are becoming more eco-friendly with paper use by sending emails instead of paper memos, recycling paper products regularly, printing on both sides of a sheet of paper and of course paying bills online rather than through the mail. However, human consumption of trees and paper products is still incredibly high. There’s obviously still a high demand and need for paper products. A remedy for this is to use seed paper. This is a biodegradable handmade type of paper that is not only made from recycled paper, but is embedded with plant and flower seeds. The purpose of this astounding paper is not only to recycle, but to have a safe alternative when discarding your used paper. This type of paper isn’t for the trash can, but it can be planted in a flower pot or in your garden for growing. This miraculous green paper can add beauty and charm to your home or even your office flower pots."
