Elephant Dung Paper Notebooks

IMG 6117

ecoMaximus is a company that manufactures handmade paper (and other products) out of elephant dung and other waste matter. These handmade products are made from a mixture of elephant dung and post-consumer paper. They were pulped and made in Sri Lanka.

I got two ecoMaximus Notebooks.the first is an A5 hardback notebook with a bamboo spine – the image on the front (which appears to be made of layered paper) is some trees and a couple of elephants. The paper is handmade and has a pulpy texture when you write on the pages the nib of the pens sink into the paper slightly. The paper in this notebook comes in three colours mixed together (yellow, orange and purple).

The second is a beautiful pink colour with striking images of two elephants. This is another A5 notebook, this time it is wirebound. The paper is neutral coloured. Each page is unique and has a slightly different pattern/texture due to the fact that the paper is handmade.
