Description:
Paper can be made from any plant fiber, not
just trees. We use tree-free alternatives like Sugar Cane and Kenaf whenever
possible. This fibrous plant grows 15 feet in just five months, uses no harmful
chemicals in processing and is fully recyclable. Kenaf is indigenous to North
America. It is helping to bring income to farmers and is also helping to
preserve our forests. We continue to strive towards the use of 100% tree free
paper. Unfortunately, it is a struggle to find it in the quantity and quality we
need. Every card purchased helps us to build a more consistent supply of tree
free paper,ultimately helping our forests to stay tree-FULL!
Formed with a commitment to the environment, Tree-Free Greetings, Inc. is the
first card company to work aggressively toward the use of 100% Tree-Free paper.
Our vibrant and colorful greetings are made from sustainable resources such as
reclaimed sugar cane Sweetpaper(tm), up to 100% post-consumer recycled paper,
FSC Certified paper, and soy-based inks. Tree-Free paper saves trees, energy,
and has a low carbon footprint. With our rapidly expanding customer base, we are
making a difference. We can see a day when no trees are used to make paper,
helping our forests stay tree-full!
What is Sweetpaper?
- Sweetpaper cards and envelopes are
made from sugar cane bagasse.
- 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 has been removed. By using this product as
paper pulp, this is actually putting something that would be dumped into our
landfills to good use!
- It takes one ton of refined
sugar to make two tons of bagasse waste!
- Sugar cane grows wild very
quickly and is widely cultivated!
- Bagasse requires less energy
and bleaching chemical requirements to make into paper!
- Sweetpaper is processed Elemental Chlorine Free
and releases no harmful dioxin into the environment!
