Next Gen Paper?
Is it possible to make paper products from recycled stone? Of course. We have the technology at this point to do all kinds of things never dreamed of before.We can gather up distributor caps from old Fords and reprocess them into paper, and, while this will “save a tree,” it’s a fabulously stupid idea.
Karst Paper Goods advertises : (Our paper, shown at left ) is made from recycled stone, completely removing the conventional need for wood in paper manufacturing. No trees, no acids, no water and no waste. (It’s) more durable, more sustainable, and infinitely smoother to write, scribble, doodle or draw on.
Are we concerned that our current paper is too rough or uneven to “write, scribble, doodle or draw on?”
Are we aware that, in the digital age, paper is becoming increasingly less relevant?
There are paths toward sustainability, but this, to be sure, isn’t one.
