Yes.
There is paper that is completely 100% tree free! And with the rate of deforestation, we could use alternatives to destroying trees. Companies like ECO PAPER and Adarsh Paper are a couple examples.
The paper is made of both 100% recycled post-consumer paper and agro-industrial waste. The agricultural waste is from plantations producing bananas, coffee, lemons, mangos, and tobacco. They even show you how on their website.
Here’s how it goes;
Step 1: Raw materials (agricultural waste and paper from offices, magazines and newspapers) are collected from the production sites.
Step 2: To prepare the agricultural waste, scraps from the trees and left over fruits are ground down to sawdust like fibers.
Step 3: The post consumer paper is churned with water until the paper dissolves into the water.
Step 4: The fibers from the agricultural waste is mixed with the recycled paper to create the final paper product.
Step 5: The shape and aesthetic quality of the paper is determined by the skilled artisans who cut and assemble the final product.
Step 6: Paper is packaged by using only necessary and high quality packaging materials then shipped off to you!
