The Exotic Paper Company A6 Notebook – Recycled, Elephant Dung Pulp
A6 Notebook made from recycled paper and ’Ellie Poo’! Ecological, biodegradable, chemical free, chlorine free and acid free paper. Made in the UK by a specialist paper mill using a traditional steam run machine dating back to 1895. 50 sheets, approx 11 cm x 15 cm.
General Information:The Sri Lankan Elephant produces about 1 tonne of dung per week which is collected by local villagers. It is then dried and is converted into a high concentrate dry paper pulp for exporting to the UK. This creates local employment and offers an alternative living to agriculture in the area, where conflict exists between elephants and local farmers for land. It also encourages local people to co–exist with the Asian elephant and view it as a sustainable economic resource (it is often thought of as a pest by farmers with limited resources in Sri Lanka).
