Printed Stone Paper Bags

Q: Are stone paper bags weatherproof?

<p>Stone paper bags are water &amp; grease proof.</p>

Stone paper bags are a state-of-the-art alternative to standard paper bags. Stone paper is made from excess or waste limestone from existing quarries. The manufacturing process is much more efficient than traditional paper, meaning it helps prevent the felling of trees and deforestation, saves energy, mitigates CO2 emissions, saves water, all whilst being just as recyclable as standard paper. Stone paper is also much stronger than standard paper, making it water & grease proof, as well as resistant to tears and stains. This strength also makes it much more reusable than standard paper, further extending its eco-friendliness.

We can provide stone paper bags, however due to the manufacturing costs of this sustainable material, can only supply on significant or regular trade orders, with quantities starting over 10,000 bags. If you'd like to discuss a transition to stone paper, call our team today on 01438 873840.

Benefits of Stone Paper

Water & Grease Proof - Our bags protect the contents from the elements and are ideally suited for food items.

No Chemicals - Stone paper bags are naturally white, so no bleaching and chemicals are required in the manufacturing process.

Recyclable - Products made from stone paper can be recycled using traditional methods and are therefore easy to dispose of.

Reusable - With the added strength and durability of the material, the bags can be used multiple times.

Tear & Stain Resistant - The bags are resistant to staining and tear resistant so they can be stored and carried safely with peace of mind.

The environmental benefits:

20 Trees - From deforestation.

More Energy - Than the average home in the UK uses per year!

900kg of CO2 - Emissions prevented.

60,000 Litres of Water - Saved through the innovative manufacturing process.

150kg of solid waste - Avoided due to the recycling of limestone from existing quarries.

100% Recyclable - Stone bags are photo degradable.
