Every day, we face a sobering reality: over two million trees are cut down, many destined for paper production. In homes, offices, and schools worldwide, paper becomes waste at an alarming rate – even double-sided printing can only do so much before sheets end up in the trash.
That’s where POOPOOPAPER™ comes in. Working with elephant sanctuaries in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we’ve developed a unique approach to papermaking that turns natural waste into eco products made with real elephant poop. Our process not only saves trees but gives new purpose to elephant-processed plant fiber that would otherwise go unused. It’s a small shift in how we think about paper, but one that makes a real difference for our planet.
By choosing our products, you’re not just buying paper – you’re supporting a more sustainable future. Each sheet tells a story of innovation, conservation, and positive change. Who knew saving trees could start with elephants?
The Process of Making Paper from Elephant Dung
It all starts with a simple fact – elephants eat a lot of plants. Their digestive system processes these plants, leaving behind fiber-rich material that’s perfect for papermaking. We collect this natural resource from our partner sanctuaries in Thailand and begin our unique transformation process.
First comes the cleaning stage, where we carefully separate out all the valuable plant fibers. Think of it as finding gold in a riverbed – we remove anything that isn’t useful for papermaking, leaving just the pure, natural fiber. These fibers then take a hot bath, getting boiled alongside other seasonal plant materials like banana stems or coffee husks. This special blend gives our paper its distinctive texture and strength.
Next, our artisans get to work with traditional screening techniques. They carefully spread the fiber mixture across framed screens, creating what will become individual sheets of paper. These screens spend some time basking in the warm Thai sun – Mother Nature’s own drying system. Depending on the weather and how thick we want the paper, this could take anywhere from a few hours to a full day.
The final stage is where our paper really comes to life. Whether by hand or machine, each sheet is precisely cut, bound, and decorated to create our finished products. The result? Clean, odor-free paper that’s as natural as it gets. Who knew elephant poop could become something so beautiful and useful?

Is Elephant Dung Environmentally Friendly?
Here’s a surprising fact: a single adult elephant produces up to 200 kg of fiber-rich material daily. That’s an abundance of natural resources just waiting to be transformed. This remarkable source allows us to create handmade paper that’s a sustainable alternative to traditional wood-based products. The process used to make them is beautifully simple and earth-friendly. We skip the harsh chemicals like acid and chlorine that are common in traditional papermaking. Instead, we work with nature, using less energy and water while producing fewer carbon emissions. Plus, since no trees are harmed in our process, we’re doing our part to protect forests.
To create our unique paper products, we blend our elephant-processed fibers with other natural materials that would otherwise go to waste – think corn husks, banana stems, and hay. The result? Paper products that are 100% eco-friendly and tell an amazing story of sustainability. It’s proof that sometimes the best solutions come from unexpected places.
