C-Stone Bio Paper

Paper made from Limestone- Not trees

C-Stone to develop new tree-free, waterproof paper
C-Stone LLC, located in San Diego, CA, is developing of a new line of tree-free, biodegradable bio-paper. Based on intellectual property to be acquired and developed by C-Stone, a product will be manufactured for replacing synthetic plastic papers and high- end printing papers currently on the market, with a competitive and environmentally beneficial strategy.
Using a proprietary mixture of PLA (plant-based plastic), limestone, and other additives, C-Stone’s bio-papers are not only biodegradable and tree-free, but also more printable than most synthetic papers and suitable for most types of printing processes. The production process is also cleaner than that of traditional papers—with limited water used during manufacturing and emitting no petroleum-based toxic chemicals into the air. The bio-paper is tree free, chlorine-free, acid-free, safe for the environment, and can be recycled to make new C-Stone paper or other bio- plastic products
In addition to its eco-friendly qualities, C-Stone’s bio-papers are inherently water- resistant and tear-resistant, making them ideal for signs, banners, tags, maps and other similar applications. Available in various thicknesses, the bio-papers can range from solid enough to make sturdy outdoor signs, credit cards and room keys to the thinnest traditional paper magazine stock.
Initially, C-Stone’s bio-paper will be very competitive, if not cheaper, than synthetic papers and eventually more competitive with high-end printing papers. With volatile prices of oil and today’s pressures to increase environmental integrity, these efforts are quite significant and exciting!
C-Stone LLC looks forward to marketing the new products over the next couple of months.
