What is Tree-Free Paper?
Tree-Free is better than recycled - The production of Tree-Free paper uses less water, no chlorine or harmful chemicals, and requires less energy. Tree-Free uses paper from sustainably harvested sources like kenaf, sugar cane, and bamboo, as well as from post-consumer recycled paper.
Kenaf Paper - Tree-Free uses kenaf paper as often as supply allows. Their envelopes use 100% kenaf uncoated paper whenever available. Their vibrant and colorful card images require naturally coated (with clay) kenaf paper. (This paper didn't exist before we made it!) Kenaf is a 4000 year old crop with roots in ancient Africa. This wonder fiber is related to hibiscus and is a cousin to cotton and okra. Currently grown in the southern U.S., Kenaf rises to heights of 12-14 feet in less than 6 months. It even produces a beautiful white flower that looks great in residential gardens!
Sweet-Paper - Sweet-Paper cards and envelopes are made from 50% Sugar cane bagasse and 50% recycled fiber, including 30% post-consumer. Sugar cane bagasse is a waste product of the sugar refining industry; it is the fibrous material remaining in the sugar cane after the sugar is removed. By using this waste product as paper pulp, Tree-Free is putting to good use a product which would otherwise be land-filled!
Bamboo Paper - The bamboo fiber used in Tree-Free's paper is farm-grown specifically for manufacturing purposes under environmentally responsible conditions. Bamboo is known to be one of the fastest growing, renewable crops available.
