It currently takes about 20 trees and about 85 tons of water to make a ton of regular paper and so limex is hailed as a green alternative for paper and plastic production.

It is reported that greenhouse gas emissions are about 20 percent less than traditional paper printing.

Producing paper from rock is not just a novel idea — it saves water, is both recyclable and biodegradable, and its main raw material is a mineral available anywhere on Earth.

The material is smooth, like laminated paper, and is much harder to tear or bend. That makes it the ideal product for many end users.

The material can be recycled and turned into paper products or more durable items such as folders, bowls and plates.
