Seed Paper in 2024: The Eco-Friendly Choice for a Sustainable Future
As we embrace 2024, the spotlight on environmental sustainability shines brighter than ever, and seed paper emerges as a key player in this green revolution. With the seed paper market projected to reach USD 1,373 million by 2028, this innovative material is not just a trend but a sustainable solution gaining global traction.
What is Seed Paper?
Seed paper is a remarkable eco-friendly alternative to traditional paper, crafted from recycled paper waste and embedded with a variety of seeds. At Terra Tag, we specialise in creating seed paper infused with a mix of herbs like parsley, oregano, thyme, and flower mixes including Swan River Daisy and Forget-Me-Nots. When planted, this paper transforms into a flourishing garden, leaving no waste behind.
The Handcrafted Process of Terra Tag
Our seed paper is a product of meticulous craftsmanship. The journey begins with collecting waste paper from local businesses, schools, and government offices. This paper is then transformed into pulp, mixed with a variety of seeds, and finally shaped into sheets that dry into robust, plantable seed paper. This process reflects our commitment to sustainability and local sourcing.
