NATURALEAF - Hand made in Uganda

All of our products are hand made and environmentally friendly. There is no recycling process in Kampala, so all of our recycled fibres are donation from various offices, such as the Irish Embassy, The Uganda Tourism Bureau and others.

Paper making is a concept based on linking fibbers together by hydrogen bonding, using water as the catalyst agent. We do not use any chemicals, other than recycling  our stove ashes. Every part of a process is as simple as it gets:

  •  Cutting and tearing of the fibres/recycled paper
  •  Cooking and washing the fibres
  •  Blending of the fibres to transform them into pulp
  •  Diluting the pulp down and putting it in big basins for lifting
  •  Lifting the pulp onto the screens, covered with mosquito nets and let them dry on drying racks (this is the ACTUAL PAPER MAKING process and is all handmade step)
  •  Removing the sheets from the screen and pressing them in between metal plates in the press (pressure obtained from a 30 tone truck jack)
  •  The sheets are finished and ready to be transformed into our products.

IF IT CAN BE MADE OF PAPER, WE CAN DO IT!
