What is Growingpaper?

Since its founding in 2014, Growingpaper has been fully committed to both environmental and social sustainability. The company uses untreated, locally sourced seeds and lead-free vegetable inks, ensuring an eco-friendly production process.

On a social level, Growingpaper promotes professional inclusion by collaborating with ESATs (French organizations supporting employment for adults with disabilities). Additionally, the brand partners with a company in South Africa, contributing to its growth and job creation.

How Does Plantable Paper Work?

Plantable paper consists of two layers of chlorine-free, biodegradable, and water-soluble paper. Sandwiched between these layers are seeds, embedded using a natural starch-based adhesive.

🌱 Easy to use:

1. Plant the paper under a thin layer of soil.
2. Water regularly.
3. Watch as the seeds sprout and bring beautiful plants to life!
