Description
The Artway Tree Free Paper Packs forms part of our range of Tree Free plant papers and books. These packs contains 24 sheets of beautiful A4 eco friendly plant paper. The papers are made in India from post-industrial waste, meaning that they are a sustainable and environmentally friendly paper option on which to draw, write, and print. They would also be a great option for a collage or bookbinding project.
Owing to the handmade process, each sheet is unique in its colour, texture and grain.
Acid Free & Vegan
The Artway Tree Free Paper Packs are available in the following plant papers:
Lemongrass - 150gsm
Lemongrass was introduced almost a century ago in India and is now cultivated for commercial purposes, such as extraction of its oil. The residual grass is a by-product of this process that is often discarded, however, this grass can be steamed and made into sheets of paper. The process of extraction somehow seems to strengthen the fibres for paper making. The fibres are strong and turn into a smooth resilient paper; adding cotton fibres to the mix gives it a smoother surface.
Spent Barley - 150gsm
This paper is made from spent grain (barley, hops, etc) left over from the beer-making process. Spent barley has a relatively lesser cellulose content, when mixed with cotton pulp, it makes beautiful, unique textured paper and is a planet-friendly choice!
Water Hyacinth - 200gsm
The water hyacinth is an invasive plant that causes mass damage to India’s waterways and eco-systems. Being cellulose-rich, the stem of the plant can be cooked and then beaten to produce the fibres in which this paper is made from. The outcome is a smooth, strong paper ideal for writing and printing on.
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE HANDMADE NATURE OF THESE PAPERS, PACKS MAY VARY SLIGHTLY IN COLOUR AND TEXTURE.
