Introducing Stone Paper Notebooks: Zero Trees, Zero Water, Full Performance

Templates038 proudly introduces our revolutionary stone paper notebook collection, manufactured from calcium carbonate (CaCO3) mineral powder — the same material in limestone and marble — combined with a small percentage of HDPE binding resin, producing a writing surface that uses zero trees, zero water, and zero bleach in production.

Stone Paper Properties

• Water Resistant: Stone paper is naturally waterproof — spills wipe off without paper warping, buckling, or ink bleeding
• Tear Resistant: 3× the tear strength of conventional wood-pulp paper, surviving rough handling in backpacks and field conditions
• Ultra-Smooth Surface: Mineral composition creates an exceptionally smooth writing surface with zero fiber texture, ideal for fine-tip pens and detailed drawing
• Photodegradable: Unlike conventional plastic-coated paper, stone paper breaks down naturally when exposed to UV sunlight (12-18 months outdoor exposure)

Environmental Credentials

• Zero trees harvested — 100% mineral-based raw material
• Zero water consumed in manufacturing (conventional paper: 10-20 liters per sheet)
• Zero bleach or chlorine chemicals — naturally white from calcium carbonate
• 50% lower carbon footprint vs. conventional paper production
• Cradle to Cradle Silver certified

Product Range

The stone paper collection launches with 6 notebook formats: A4 and A5 in ruled, dot grid, and blank, all with signature matte mineral-touch covers. Pricing is positioned at a 15% premium to conventional premium notebooks, justified by material innovation and environmental credentials.
