Closeup on Synthetics
Synthetic materials remain good options for 
durability and can help in the fight for sustainability, But, a couple hurdles remain.
Other synthetic paper suppliers are also going tree-free with their papers, but not with stone. YUPO Synthetic Paper supplies 100-percent recyclable synthetic papers that are created with polypropylene pellets, resins, and inorganic materials. Free of toxins and heavy metals, YUPO's synthetic papers contain no softening agents or bleach. The company also says that very little water is used in the production of its synthetic paper, and trim that is created during the manufacturing process is recycled and reused in the production of other products.
