Note Box
Hand-Crafted Paper made from elephant Poo Poo
Now what a unique and eco-friendly gift idea. This note box includes 70 slips of paper inside for note making. The Note boxes are handy to place by your telephone, in the kitchen or on your desk. And ooh yes the paper is actually made out of elephant poop! YES you read this right, this creative, and eco-friendly Photo Albums are made with recycled, odorless elephant pooh. The spirit and passion behind these products is rooted in the belief that they represent a healthy and sustainable balance between ecological responsibility and commercial pursuit. We need more of that on our planet in our opinion! We also love the fact that our products would enable us a vehicle in which to directly contribute modestly to the welfare and conservation efforts for endangered elephants.
Process •Collecting naturally dried elephant dung from elephant conservation parks and bring it back to our paper-making factory.
•Then pre-rinsing the elephant dung with water, leaving only the fibrous materials from the grasses, bamboo & fruits they've eaten.
• Afterwards, placing the fibers into a giant pot of boiling water to ensure the fibers are super clean. After this thorough cleaning, any color that we may want to add can be added.
• Natural fibers from banana trees & pineapples are added to the dung mixture so the paper will be thicker & stronger.
• Once this is all mixed together, we separate the moist fibers into small “cakes' or “wafers” of about 300-400 grams each.
• The cakes are spread evenly over a mesh-bottomed tray measuring about 60cm by 90cm.
• The tray is leaned up against a tree, angled toward the sun and allowed to dry naturally for a few hours.
• Once dry, they peel the sheet of paper from the mesh tray and start making Poo Poo Paper products.
This is how the hand made paper stationery and how to make recycled paper process!
