Hollis, NH – September 8, 2005—It’s no longer necessary to choose between style and the environment
when celebrating the holidays. Paporganics recently announced its Holiday Collection of greeting cards,
wrapping paper, coordinating gift cards and ribbon made from hemp and recycled fibers. The collection is
not only elegant and contemporary by design; it’s 100% environmentally friendly.
According to Paporganics’ owner and founder Camille Campbell, consumers purchase a staggering $2.7
billion of gift wrap annually. That’s big business and a big potential source of waste. She sees her products
as a tremendous opportunity to close the recycling loop without compromising style and quality—concerns
consumers often face when choosing environmentally sustainable products.
“Paporganics was born out of my frustration in finding attractive eco-friendly wrapping paper,” said
Campbell. “If you do a web search on ‘recycled wrapping paper,’ most of the suggestions include wrapping
gifts in used grocery bags or the comics. Who really wants to wrap a nice gift in old newspapers?”
The tree-free paper for their signature Hemp Wrap collection mixes chlorine-free agricultural resources
(hemp and flax straw) and post-consumer waste fibers, promoting the use of non-wood fibers and supporting
the market for recycled paper. “The hemp-flax content adds strength to the recycled fibers, creating
a high-quality paper not often seen in gift wrapping,” said Campbell.
All of Paporganics products are made from natural fibers or recycled materials that can be re-recycled or
turned into compost after use—even the packaging. “We use 100% biodegradable cellophane instead of
poly wrap,” said Campbell. “We want to be able to throw the whole thing, packaging and all, into the garden
composter and be OK with it.”
The company uses three papers exclusively to create their cards and gift wrap: a handmade organic cotton
paper, a hemp-flax-recycled blend and a recycled paper made from 100% post consumer waste. All of the
papers are processed without the use of chlorine and printed with 100% vegetable inks. To ensure high
quality products made with fair labor practices, Paporganics utilizes only American producers.
In addition to the Holiday Collection, Paporganics offers an exceptional selection of distinctive all-occasion
Stationery, Hemp Wrap and coordinating Gift Enclosure Cards, Gift Tissue and Natural Ribbon—all
featuring garden-inspired fruits, vegetables, herbs, animals and floral designs.
Paporganics is available for wholesale and retail purchase at select natural product retailers across the U.S.
and through their online store at www.paporganics.com.
