The Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka has been using elephant dung to create eco-friendly paper, which by the way doesn?t smell and is bacteria-free. Their adult pachyderms produce approximately 180 kg of waste per day, so waste management has become an issue for the orphanage, that is until they began producing paper. The dung from each elephant can help product 115 sheets of paper, and the paper has a similar texture and look to the paper made from tree fiber. The process involves boiling, bleaching,

coloring, drying and flattening the dung, and they can produce a lot of paper since they house 60 elephants. This alternative source is beneficial to the environment, because there is less elephant dung sitting on the ground and contaminating the soil and groundwater. Now when you need to write notes to your family or grocery shopping lists, you can use this natural paper. Check out the noteboxes at the Elephant Poo Poo Paper online store.
