Handmade Paper or Wood free Paper, made essentially with natural agro wastes, is an age old concept that provides us with innovative and interesting alternatives for conventional mill paper made out of wood pulp.

Wood free paper mills are based on renewable raw material and relies largely on non-conventional, energy sources suchas pith and husk. This helps in minimizing the strain on the ecology or environment by reducing the consumption of conventional non-renewable energy sources such as coal and petroleum. Wood free paper made exclusively with natural / agro wastes is bio-degradable and hence eco-friendly.

Wood free paper sources raw material form agricultural residues such as bagasse, rice/wheat straw, jute waste, cotton lint and grasses. Often, other agro products such as flower petals, silk, and wool are added to get various effects and textures. With advanced technological inputs, it is now possible to manufacture Wood free paper in a wide range of textures, colors, weights, finish using applications like printing, embossing, etc.
