What is this project all about?

Every fifth tree cut worldwide is used for paper production. Despite digitalization and growing environmental awareness, we humans are consuming more trees than the planet’s environment can afford.

CALIMA stands for an alternative to "tree paper": We transform bagasse to TREE-FREE PAPER. Bagasse is a waste of the renewable sugarcane plant leftover after the sugar process, which is upcycled to high-quality paper. This environmentally friendly paper is a natu… Mehr anzeigen

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Become an ambassador for a world where there is no waste, but only resources. Carry your CALIMA® NATURAL NOTEBOOK proudly and tell your friends how easy it is sometimes to approach things completely differently.

The CALIMA® NATURAL NOTEBOOK is made for you if one of the following applies:

You want to write down or sketch things sustainably and ecologically.

You want to capture creative or inspiring thoughts, work, or task on beautiful and natural material

In 2018 alone, 1.907 million tons of sugarcane was harvested worldwide. This resulted in an amount of over 650 million tons of bagasse, the cellulose left after the sugar juices are extracted.

If all this bagasse were upcycled to paper, half of the world's paper needs … Mehr anzeigen

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

If the financing is successful, we will produce as many CALIMA® NATURAL NOTEBOOKS as we can to encourage as many people as possible to rethink paper in the future through this sustainable naturally colored light beige color product.

The idea is to achieve traction towards natural color paper with the CALIMA®️ NATURAL NOTEBOOK and thus be able to convert the market, with the clear objective to show that any other white or dye recycled paper has color chemic… Mehr anzeigen

Who are the people behind the project?

In a nutshell of the CALIMA team are Alejandro, Mateo, Jorge, Christoph, Filip, Cornelia, Stephan as well as numerous hardworking people in Colombia who earn their living by converting the fibers of local sugarcane bagasse into high-quality paper. The bagasse is the waste left over after the sugar juices are extracted.

We know that waste does not exist in fabulous nature! Everything can be upcycled.
