Did you know that elephant poop can be used to make paper?
You heard it right. I did say 'poop'.
Apparently elephant poop is rich in fibers needed for making paper. It is not a new product though. This eco-friendly product has been around in India for quite sometime.
The manufacturing process is fairly simple. The most tedious task is the cleaning of the dung. The end product is similar to the papers we get normally. It is available in different colors too.
This is a great substitute for papers as unnecessary felling of trees can be prevented. In India Rajasthan is best known for commercially selling this eco-friendly product. There are a lot of online sites selling this kind of paper.
This year I'm planning to get a greeting card made out of this. Maybe I will gift it to my husband on valentines, so that he does not forget another valentine's day in his life.
Do you use any eco-friendly products? Or do you know any interesting products like this one?
