Finally, paper not made from trees

Ultra Green Paper

Ultra Green Paper

Paper not made from tree is sure to attract everybody’s interest. A Chicago paper company has come up with what they call Ultra Green paper. And the best part is that no trees are cut or water is used for the manufacturing. Made from inorganic mineral powders derived from limestone and calcium carbonate, Ultra Green neither uses chlorine nor becomes yellow or brittle even when exposed to sunlight for long.
Isn’t that just too good to be true? Wait, there’s more. The paper is resistant to water, grease and oils and can easily be used outdoors without any fear of decomposition. On top of this, it is priced 30 per cent below the regular paper because it saves on the water and tree costs. So it seems like a win-win situation for both the producers and the consumers.
By the way, the Environmental Defense calculated that if one ton of Ultra Green paper replaces a ton of traditional paper, 20 trees will be saved.
