Releaf Paper - sustainable leaves-based paper · Releaf Paper - breakthrough technology for sustainable production of leaves-based fibre disrupting paper production and eco packaging industries
Releaf Paper is the first and the only producer of cellulose from fallen leaves in the world with a patent for the technology based on a unique method of combining mechanical, chemical and thermal processes using standard equipment and a special drying procedure, which allows obtaining a solid, durable cellulose fibre for paper production.Releaf’s approach provides a solution of mass cutting trees for paper production and reduces CO2 emissions by 78% in comparison with traditional paper production.Releaf’s paper production is sustainable at all stages of the production process: 1.Sulphate&sulphite-free reagents are used. 2.The process requires 15 times less water and 3 times less electricity. 3.Paper products may be recycled up to 5 times without loss of quality or decomposed within 30-60 days.This solution is also cost-efficient due to the availability of raw materials and resource-efficient production. Thus, the price for the consumer is lower in comparison with other alternatives
