FiberStone® Paper is made from 80% calcium carbonate and 20% non-toxic High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The calcium carbonate comes from limestone collected as waste material from existing quarries for the building and construction industry. It is ground into a fine powder-like chalk and the HDPE acts as a binder for the calcium carbonate. Together these materials create a tough, durable paper that is both water and tear resistant providing a soft, smooth, bright white paper that performs like a film but without all the petroleum.

FiberStone Paper is made with a clean production process, which does not utilize water or emit emissions and has a low carbon footprint and energy consumption rate. The Paper is chlorine free, bleach free, acid-free and photodegradable after a period of about 14-18 months. It can also be recycled with traditional paper or plastic recycling methods.
