Wood Free Eco Friendly Stone Paper Notebook Waterproof Tear Resistant Oilproof Mudproof Stationery For Gift
Stone paper is made using calcium carbonate, a compound found in rocks, and bio-resin. The two materials are combined to form a non-toxic and recyclable material that has the texture and look of regular paper. The production process involves crushing the calcium carbonate into powder, melting the resin, combining the two ingredients together and then cooling them. Once cooled, the mixture is extruded through rollers which form sheets of stone paper. The sheets are then cut into desired sizes for use as stationery items such as notebooks or cards.
Stone paper has some attractive characteristics as a writing material. At first touch, you can tell the sheets aren’t normal wood-based paper. The pages are smoother, and you have to make an effort to tear them. Ink writes just as well, or perhaps even better, although some gel inks may take a minute or two to dry completely. In many ways stone papers like Repap seem to reinvigorate paper with aspects you always wished paper had. It’s durable, oil and tear resistant, and waterproof, and since you can fold it like paper your airplane-making days may not be as numbered as you thought before.
Stone paper notebook is great news for the planet. No deforestation, no wasted water, and no harmful chemicals. Just smooth, waterproof pages.

Stone Paper is about sustainable development with respect to our planet. By using mineral power (Calcium Carbonate) Stone Paper bags and packages are tree-free, and no water or bleach is used during production, which is the case during the production of traditional wood pulp paper. Stone Paper is ISO 14001:2004 certified, alongside ROHS, REACH and FDA. Above all, Stone Paper has the C2C silver certificate.
1. What’s the environmental benefit of using stone paper as compared to regular tree pulp paper?
Stone Paper is produced entirely from recycled waste material and has a minimal impact on the environment, all the while 18 trees are required to be chopped down to produce 1.000 kg of pulp paper. Also it takes consumption of 2.770 liter of water to create 1.000 kg of tree pulp paper and with Roca stone paper any water consumption is prevented.
2. Are stone paper products recyclable?
Yes. Simply recycle it to Plastics (HDPE). But to let you know the production-process, and end-product are clean and non-wasteful. In addition, Stone Paper paper is easily broken down by sunlight; 200 micron thick G-ECO paper will begin to break and crack like an eggshell in the outside air in a period of 9 to 12 months (if the material is left in the sun 10 hours a day). It can also be easily burned without the release of harmful gasses.
3. What happens to different pens on this paper?
Ballpoints and gel pens will work perfectly fine! However, be aware that stone paper does not absorb ink, and it may take a second or two for gel based pen ink to dry. The good part of it is that it uses 15 to 20% less ink during print in comparison to wood pulp paper.
4. Do the pages tear?
Stone paper is very difficult to tear and will generally stretch before it tears. But when you are cutting it it works just as with traditional paper.
5. Will the HDPE in stone paper be replaced with bioplastic?
A lot of research and development is done to continuously improve the sustainability of the stonepaper and its production process.
Tests are being done with bioplastic replacing the HDPE component of the stonepaper. This will most likely be a bioplastic variety that is not made from a food resource, but for example from non-consumable weeds.
At this moment, the HDPE component is made from partly recycled plastic.
6. Why did stone paper receive a cradle to cradle certificate?
Stone paper is cradle to cradle certified by the official cradle to cradle Institute. The paper has a silver cradle to cradle label. On the right you can see what valuation was given to different aspects of the paper production.
Cradle to cradle literally means there is no ‘grave’ for the product after it has been used. The material does not need to leave any waste behind after usage, but can be properly recycled.
7. How to recycle stone paper?
Stone paper is made from original stonep powder and can thus be recycled easily.
In theory, stonepaper is infinitely recyclable. If there were a stonepaper recycling stream, we would be able to fully re-use all stonepaper. However, in practice this still works a bit different, mainly due to a lack of sufficient volume for an own recycling stream.
We advise you to throw away stone paper, with plastic recycling (stream 2). This way, the paper can be fully incorporated in an existing recycling stream. The Calcium Carbonate (the stone that is used) is already a common additive to some plastic products and will thus be properly recycled.
Stonepaper will be recognized as a non-pulppaper product in most recycling streams that we know of. It will thus be filtered out with other products that are not recyclable in a paper recycling stream. Then, it will be processed according to the facilities rules. Sometimes this means that it will be burned, or that it will be sorted and used in proper plastic recycling. The stonepaper will in fact be recognized as a plastic-type product.
Just to make sure – we recommend you recycle stone paper with plastic recycling.
