Our Paper

At Little Green Paper Shop we pride ourselves on maintaining the widest selection of Eco Friendly Paper alternatives in the UK. Our most popular ranges are our Seeded Papers, however we have a growing collection of other alternative options for you. If you are looking for something specific we have also created special seed blends for a number of customers.

What is seed paper?

Our plantable seed paper is a handmade paper product made from recycled cotton waste sourced from the textile industry. This eco-friendly paper contains seeds embedded within its fibers, allowing it to be planted in soil after use. As the paper decomposes, the seeds germinate and grow into plants, resulting in a beautiful and environmentally friendly way to repurpose waste materials.

Our ECO cotton range is our newest eco friendly paper addition. The base cotton is made from waste from the textile industry - from old tshirts to socks, dresses and even jeans! These papers are not only a more eco friendly alternative to standard paper but also add an extra touch of uniqueness at an affordable cost without having to cut down more trees as they are 100% tree-free.

NON-SEEDED

ELEPHANT POO

Handcrafted from a blend of elephant dung and cotton or recycled fibers, every sheet of this paper boasts a distinctive hue and texture, owing to the varied diets and ages of the elephants. Utilizing elephant dung for paper production not only creates unique products but also supports the sustainability of the elephant sanctuaries that our makers work with.

Our elephant dung paper comes in two variants: crafted in India and in the UK. The Indian variety features a lighter weight (180gsm) although each sheet will vary due to its handmade nature, featuring a warm, light brown tone. On the other hand, the UK variant offers a sturdier weight (280gsm) and showcases an off-white hue peppered with brown flecks. Perfect for a range of uses, from playful children's stationery to heartfelt Father's Day cards and businesses involved in animal welfare, these papers offer a delightful and eco-friendly option for various purposes.
