As a result, Stone Paper is completely non-toxic, and is even food safe. Stone Paper is naturally white, requiring none of the acids, dyes or bleaches used for pulp paper production, which have polluted many rivers, lakes and oceans. Production of Stone Paper results in 67% less carbon footprint than making pulp paper. Using 1 ton of Stone Paper saves 20 trees and 16,000 gallons of water (We print 40,000 maps = 3,000 lbs = 30 trees saved!). (Did you know regular paper can only be recycled seven times, and each time it goes back to print they have to add more virgin pulp fibre.) Requiring no trees or water, Stone paper is sustainable, and is 100% recyclable. Stone Paper is waterproof (see below photo) and tear-resistant (it is possible to rip if you try, but our maps are not going to tear apart after multiple visits in and out of your pocket, or on a windy chairlift – never again). Panorama is the first ski resort in Canada to have these available!
Panorama's ski maps contain 85% calcium carbonate (limestone) and recycled concrete, and 15% HDPE (high density polyethylene) a non-toxic binding agent. Our trail maps this year are actually made out of ground up stone and are not a traditional paper of any kind. Although they might feel futuristic we have taken things back to the stone age. They feel different don't they? They have a velvety kind of texture, a matte finish and simply feel more futuristic.
Have you skied with us yet this season? If yes, have you felt our new trail maps? Strange question, I know. We've made a big change this winter and we thought you would love to hear about it.
Paper for a paperless world that’s not an electronic, facsimile or app.
