Stone Paper Note Book

Looking for an inexpensive ($3.19US) waterproof note book? I learned this tip from a forum (http://edcforums.com/) and thought I'd shoot a quick vid of the paper in action. It's pretty decent.

I also make mention of a useful application (for me, at least) of the Hipster PDA (http://www.43folders.com/2004/09/03/introducing-the-hipster-pda) that I think would be pretty compatible with Stone Paper usage.

I'd love to hear your ideas on how you'd use (or currently) this product.

Thanks for watching.

I'm currently a Sales and Operations director for a paper company called Parax Paper, we have stopped all production of virgin and recycled papers and moved to stone paper production, these products have so many applications while saving our planet at the same time!!

Great video!

Great product!

@sastock1981 Thanks for the comment. That's interesting. If you ever need someone to test your product(s) and provide video evidence of the honest impression, I may know someone. ;)

I never tried this paper, so I can't tell much about the quality, but it is very far from being a suitable replacement for a regular, wood-based paper. This paper is made of 80% stone and 20% plastic (which in turn is made from oil). Unlike trees, oil is a "non-renewable" resource and this paper waste can actually create more pollution than regular paper. Sure you could use bio-plastic instead, but that would waste even more trees. The only true paper replacement today is computer, iPad, etc..!

@etraderx11 I agree with you. Great points.

I have not purchased another notebook. I just thought it was an interesting product and wanted to give it a testrun.

@CyberCacique1 Not true actually. I looked it up and Stone paper is 100% naturally degradable without any harmful effect to the environment, doesn't generate any toxic emission and doesn't waste any water during production. And it can be easily recycled, during which it uses less energy than recycling paper does. Check gaiakraft (dot com) for more info like this.

@JaieCS Great comment. Thanks for the info also.

@labelboy Actually, FiberStone is just one of several companies that sell stone paper. Another option is GaiaKraft Paper: gaiakraft (dot com)
