Q.
Are the handmade papers enviroment friendly? |
A.
The handmade papers sold by Paper Craft Mall
are environment friendly. They are acid and lignin free.
All our papers are made from recycling cotton rag waste,
silk waste or other renewable resources. The manufacturing
process is acid free, pollution free and the final paper
is biodegradable. Few colors/embellishments and exposure
to sun for drying make the pH of the paper very slightly
acidic. |
