Recycled Cotton Rag and Elephant Dung Writing Set

A unique gift and a real talking point. 

This Fair Trade recycled writing paper and envelopes set is made up of 25% cotton rag and 75% elephant dung.

The dung is collected from Rajasthan in India and once the fibre has been extracted for the paper, the left over dung is used as a fertilier - nothing is wasted!

And don`t worry.... it`s not what you think - these sheets and envelopes actually smell quite nice!

Each writing set contains 10 sheets and 5 envelopes.

Dimensions - the sheets are A5 sized ( 14.5 cm wide  x  21 cm high).

"At Papeterie we handcraft paper that`s eco-friendly and organic."

Papeterie was started in 1995 with the objective to promote handmade recycled paper and products, which have the unique advantage of being both eco-friendly as well as giving a boost to the rural industrial sector. They started off as a small project with the aim of helping smaller paper producers. In the last few years, however, they have grown enough to commission two small units of papermaking to manufacture paper just for their own purposes.

The elephant dung used is collected from Rajasthan. A small amount of recycled cotton rags are added and nothing is wasted - once the fibre has been extracted for the paper, the leftover dung is used as fertiliser.
