I'm on location this week working on a Country Home magazine photo shoot, so these posts are coming late. In other words, I'm going through my archives and seeing what neat-o things I've missed I can share as I drink my well-deserved glass of wine after a very very long day.
Okay, how about this? TerraSkin "paper." It's a tree-free paper that's made entirely out of reclaimed mineral powder and resin; no water is used to make the paper and it feels like a smooth, luxurious paper perfect for booklets, labels and shopping bags. The best part? It breaks down back into natural mineral powder if you ever throw it out.
A bit from the company on TerraSkin:
Terraskin® fits the bill as an environmentally friendly production material. Comprised of 75 percent recycled mineral powder and 25 percent resin, unlike standard paper production, no water is required in the production of this paper. The paper can be safely incinerated and recycled using exactly the same methods as matt laminated packaging. Meanwhile, waste paper breaks down under natural light over a period of approximately 9months, returning to its original powder state.
The Museum of Modern Art in New York City was one of the first end users to put Terraskin® into use. Since 2006, MoMA has used Terraskin® for gift boxing and packaging in its stores.
