We Love Trees!

We use Ripasa Magnum Digital premium acid-free paper from Brazil for the interior pages of our scripts. This paper is made from eucalyptus trees—a renewable source! The whole cycle from seedling to mature tree takes only 6 years. The eucalyptus trees used to make Ripasa paper are cultivated on plantations, where one-fifth of the land is environmentally protected to preserve local flora and fauna. This extreme white acid-free paper is also chlorine free!
