How Do They Make Paper Out of Elephant Poo?
And ... does elephant poo paper SMELL?
Paper is normally made from fiber from trees, of course. Elephant dung is very fibrous due to the elephant diet, and so it makes a great source for tree-free paper production. The dung is allowed to dry completely before being washed (and completely deodorized!), which basically leaves behind the fibers from the vegetation eaten by the elephants.

I think it's awesome! I teach students about the 4Rs and everytime I have them guess what they think my notebook is made out of. I have them feel it and guess and when I reveal that it is made from elephant poo I ALWAYS get an amazing reaction! I think they really dig it! or should i say dung it!

Amazing, but shouldn't they call it pooper rather than paper?

It'd be wonderful if I had four elephants: paper mill in my yard! I could ride em around town and paper-making artisans would pay to follow me around and scrape up the treasure.
That's better than sliced bread, huh?

- This is an amazing idea. I really hope it takes off as it is a fantastic way to employ, reuse, recycle with a sustainable product. Think of all the trees that could be saved in these countries that have an abundance of elephants. I can see it now, a way for zoos to sell their elephant poo. LOL. All kidding aside it really is fantastic.
