Being lightweight it served artists for painting, and it was cheap to transport it and easy to make it, since it does not require any chemicals. While such litographic processes were abandoned, another idea was born and thanks to it, we have an alternative to deforestation and pulp paper. In Taiwan, during the late 1990s, limestone dust was successfully converted to stone paper for the first time and nature has been grateful for it ever since. Even the first stone paper was used as a food coating, but soon it found its way to become a favourite, eco-friendly surface for writing. The makings of stone paper The process of making the stone paper is straightforward and non-toxic. The main ingredient, limestone, is a by-product in queries and mines. This means that it is widely available, and easy to obtain. Limestone and marble are ground to calcium carbonate dust, which will later become stone paper. It is mixed with HDPE (high-density polyethylene, which keeps everything together. The crucial part about HDPE is that only recycled HDPE is used in the process, making our stone paper kind to nature and humans. HDPE can be almost indefinitely recycled, more than a thousand times, which makes it a desirable material in the makings of stone paper. Calcium carbonate powder and HDPE are combined to create pellets in the next steps. The pellets are pressed and finally reach the shape and density of a paper. Such a paper has a plethora of benefits and applications that we will now go through. Unlike the process of making a traditional pulp paper, this process does not involve water, chemicals, bleaching, or cutting down trees. The colour of stone paper is the colour of the limestone, naturally white, so we don`t need to alter it. And since there is no deforestation, or excess water usage, or chemicals, this process is much greener and eco-friendlier to the entire planet. Lower emissions of gasses will help fight climate change. Stone paper vs traditional pulp paper debate has a winner, and that is the kind of paper that does not cause deforestation.
