Paper is basically described as a thin piece of material used for various purposes, though we usually use it as a tool for writing upon or for packaging. How are they made? Well, it’s just simple and systematic. Damp fibers are pressed together and then dried in order to form flexible sheets.

Paper is very important to us human beings. Imagine the world without it, isn’t it terrible? Therefore, we have to use it appropriately while making sure that it doesn’t affect nature’s balance. So how can we do this? Organic paper is the solution to that problem.

We must remember that paper production may bring about pollution, specifically paper pollution. Of course, people need paper products, but we should see to it that it comes from organic sources, sustainable, and goes through an ecological safe production.

When we talk about organic paper, we are actually referring to those papers crafted from a variety of natural fibers, may it be pulp wood fibers or hemp plant fibers. Moreover, it should have observable textures, degrees of natural shades, and a general organic guise and sense. The world’s first entirely organic, non-toxic paper made was brown in color with components such as wheat, maize, and other crop bushes.

There are actually different types of organic paper available in the market. This would include organic rice paper, organic wheat paper, organic maize paper, mixed organic paper, and organic bamboo paper.  First of all, organic rice paper is basically non-fibrous, refined, delicate, thin paper that comes from the pith of rice paper tree that is commonly cultured in China and Japan. With the use of a sharp knife, the pith is then cut and made into thin layers. Rice paper is generally white in appearance, absorbent, long-lasting, and is often used in arts and crafts. Aside from these, it is also a best choice for calligraphy, poster painting, sketching, and ornate purposes.

Another type we have is the organic wheat paper. It is made from the name itself, wheat fibers, that are golden in color. The excellently compressed wheat pulp provides a fine surface to the wheat paper. This type of organic paper is commonly used for art purposes and at the same, time as home decorations. The third type is what we call organic maize paper. This paper is one that is made from the fibrous litters of maize processing. Fact is, it is a good replacement for the wood fiber used mainly in paper. Maize paper is indeed gleaming and thin and they are mostly used for packaging purposes.

Next, we have the mixed organic paper which is best for card making. It has milky shading and implanted natural trimmings including coconut, banana, mango, and more. And lastly, we have the organic bamboo paper. Long and thin fibers from bamboo are used in this type of paper. In the process, the bamboo is crushed and is soaked in lime water for months. After the sheets are dried, they are now peeled off as fine-looking bamboo papers.

These are only some of the many organic papers that can be made from natural sources. They do not do much harm to the nature’s balance than those made from in-organic, synthetic ones.
