Want to make a difference without giving up your daily essentials? POOPOOPAPER’s eco-friendly scratch pads – made from elephant poo (yes, really!) – are just the thing. While you’re jotting down your to-do lists and brilliant ideas, you’re also helping save trees and supporting Thai artisan communities. In the vibrant city of Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand, their innovative crafters are turning elephant “donations” into beautiful handmade paper products. What started as a clever way to reuse waste has bloomed into a great way to stand out with your stationery and spread the importance of sustainability with others. Who knew elephant poo could be this revolutionary?
POOPOOPAPER Turns Waste into Wonder
Let’s be honest – when you first hear “paper made from elephant poo,” you might raise an eyebrow. But here’s the cool part: these gentle giants are basically natural paper factories! Their plant-based diet creates fiber-rich dung that POOPOOPAPER’s artisans transform into something extraordinary.
The process? Think of it as extreme recycling. They clean and boil the dung in extremely high heat (don’t worry, it’s totally hygienic!) to create a fiber-rich pulp. If they want the paper to be a specific color, they mix in some natural soy-based dyes. Then they spread this paper goop onto drying racks to dehydrate and become the unique handmade paper that is the foundation for all of their products. With some creative thinking and effort, POOPOOPAPER turned waste into wonderful products.
