Eco-Friendly Elephant Dung Paper Photo Frame - 5" x 3.5" Medium Size - Unique Sustainable Home Decor for Wall Display & Gift Giving

These elephant dung photo frames are made from 75% elephant dung and 25% recycled paper and make a great quirky but practical gift. They are fairly traded and handmade by skilled artisans in Sri Lanka with elephant dung paper from the Maximus Elephant Conservation Trust. The process of making elephant dung paper is a little different to making handmade paper! The fibres are pulped by the elephant, instead of by hand or machine, whilst they are digesting, then the readymade pulp comes out the back! The dung is collected then vigorously boiled with margosa leaves, which are a natural disinfectant, then made into paper after mixing with 25% recycled paper. The coarseness and shade of the paper is entirely dependent on the elephant?s diet making each sheet unique. We source our paper from the Maximus Elephant Conservation Trust in Sri Lanka; they have their workshop on the grounds of the Millennium Elephant Foundation which is a charity that cares for sick and disabled elephants.
