Why is Smartpress' hemp paper so eco-friendly?

• It's made of 30% hemp fibers, 40% recycled fibers and 30% FSC certified virgin pulp, sustainably sourced through conscious growing practices.
• Hemp paper can be recycled up to eight times, with the plants themselves growing much more quickly and densely than trees.
• The plants don't require chemical controllers since they're naturally resistant to fungi, insects and diseases.
