Life Cycle Overview

• GaiaKraft is a tree-free paper that is mostly made up of mineral powder – Calcium Carbonate (CaC03) that is bound together with a small percentage of non-toxic resin – Polyethylene (PE). The Calcium Carbonate, which mostly comes from the construction industry as waste material, is ground to a fine powder that is then combined with the PE that acts as binding agent to create a strong sustainable substrate.
• Calcium Carbonate is the fifth most abundant element with an ore recovery ratio of 94%. The PE is non-toxic and is partly post-industrial recycled.

Eco-Friendly Production process:

GaiaKraft products are produced without

• Water
• Bleach
• Acid
• Toxic Emissions
• Liquid Effluence

Both the process and the final product are very clean and non-polluting.

Energy Consumption during Production: GaiaKraft

Uses ½ the energy as that used by wood-pulp paper in the production process.
