I doubt it is really environment friendly. The article below mentions another stone paper product: http://www.wired.com/2013/02/stone-paper-notebook/ Anyway, it might be interesting to explore the fold-ability of the product. Sy Chen

I got this link from a friend. It might be interesting for a paper review BBC: How to save trees? Make paper from stone 11 August 2015 Last updated at 03:03 BST http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33858383 Imagine being able to make paper - without cutting down a single tree. Well, a Taiwanese company has invested $50m in developing a way of doing just that. It makes paper from stone. The company has patents in more than 40 countries where its products are sold. Cindy Sui visited the southern city of Tainan to find out more.
