Paper
When crops such as rice, wheat, barley, cereals, corn, hemp, and sugar cane are processed, 80% of the plant – its stems and leaves (agricultural waste) – is left unused. Worldwide, billions of tons of agricultural waste are produced every year. Currently, most of this agricultural waste is burned.
From this agricultural waste, we recover cellulose, which is the most important raw material for paper. With lots of attention to the environment, we convert this cellulose into high quality sustainable smart paper. Agricultural waste gets a second life for the production of our paper dataloggers. The amount of agri-waste replaces fibres from trees and so these trees no longer need to be specially planted, but can stay where they are to absorb CO₂ and turn it into oxygen; to become regular forests again with a large diversity of life and biodiversity.
The paper and the electrical components fit in the worldwide regular paper waste streams. Although we use very small chips and sensors, they are comparable in size with a staple and are thus being filtered in the recycling process of the paper. We are continuously looking for even better production processes, including the printing of electronics, sensors and circuits. Although we already make 95% sustainable and circular products, we always aim for the very highest achievable.
No. We create the product from a to z, that means that we also print the design onto the paper. Afterwards, it is not possible to print the paper with your own printer.
We are able to print every sheet of paper uniquely, so feel free to reach out if you want to discuss personalized and custom-made sheets.
The paper is certified for compostability (standard EN13432) and food safety (Regulation EC1935/2004). The paper is industrially compostable and can be recycled through regular worldwide waste paper recycling schemes.
Sustainability
In the last decades, the increasing consumption of electronic devices generates an increasing volume of electronic waste each year. Since plastics and metals are the key materials of these devices, this is becoming a growing environmental and social problem.
Paper is rising as the best alternative to traditional materials for electronics: it is cheap, flexible, renewable and recyclable. This grants paper a strong potential to reduce the negative impact of e-waste.
From agricultural waste we recover cellulose, which is the most important raw material for paper. With a lot of attention to our customers’ needs and the environment, we convert this cellulose into high quality sustainable smart paper. By choosing us, you choose to give agricultural waste a second life for the production of sustainable smart paper. The majority of tour paper consists of 100% agri-waste. The amount of agri-waste replaces the amount of fibres from trees and so these trees no longer need to be specially planted, but can stay where they are to absorb CO2 and turn it into oxygen; to become regular forests again with a large diversity of life and biodiversity.

Intelligence
No.
At the core of our philosophy, we pledge not to mandate the use of a dedicated application. We strive to remove any obstacles to data access, hence our decision to utilize Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) for easy and immediate insights into data and analytics. After all, we understand the inconvenience of needing to download an app before accessing vital information.
That said, we do offer a proprietary app equipped with a suite of enhanced features and activation functions, crafted for users seeking a more comprehensive and in-depth experience.
Temperature, shock, humidity and tilt-sensors. We are also running tests with light- and CO2 sensors.
