Paper

Growing paper

Our business cards are made of 150 gram seed paper, which consists of 100% cotton waste, without chemicals. The growing paper contains seeds that will sprout when you water it.

Step 1: Moisten the paper

Make sure the paper is really wet. Place the wet paper in a pot or in the garden (between mid-May and October).

Step 2: Cover it with a thin layer of soil

Now place about 1 to 1.5 cm of potting soil on your growing paper. There should not be too much soil on the paper. Make sure the seeds have enough nutrients, protection and sunlight to germinate. If it is too thick, the seeds will germinate less quickly or not at all.

Step 3: Watering

Water it every day in the beginning. The paper must remain moist. Distribute the water evenly. If you water with a watering can, there is a chance that only some of the seeds will get enough water to germinate.

Step 4: Sun

Place it in a light and warm place. Make sure there is not too much direct sunlight. This can cause the paper to dry out, preventing the seeds from germinating. After waiting a week, you should see the first plants. When the first stems emerge from the ground, you should continue watering. The plants must remain well wet, so you do not have to water every day.

Valorize

The wrap leaflet is made of 250 grams Valorize. This is an uncoated type of paper with fibers from agricultural residual flows of tomatoes from the Netherlands. The brochure is printed CO2 neutral.
