How did it all begin?
Modestone® notepads are a result of long-lasting product development. The idea of waterproof notepads started while Kalle was serving in Finnish Defence Forces and his important notes from NCO School
were destroyed by water.
First problem was to find a perfect material for the pages and the Modestone® stone paper was the utmost best option. It withstands water and grease, does not tear easily and won't get eaten by insects.
Modestone® stone paper has another amazing feature: it allows you to write on it with an old key or even with a bullet. This feature allows you to write in tight spots without a pen.
Modestone® stone paper is also an eco-friendly choice. Stone paper is made from 80% CaCo3 and 20% HDPE.
It is estimated that when 1 ton of stone paper is produced, it actually saves nature (when compared with 1-ton pulp paper production):
-
A lower amount of carbon is emissioned
-
7480 gallons of fresh water is saved
-
reduction of CO2 release
-
19.05 Kg water-borne waste not produced
-
107.05 Kg of atmospheric emissions eliminated
-
6 million BTU's energy not consumed
-
20 trees are not cut down
