"Warehouse Stationery launch first-to-market wheat-based paper. Someone said the paperless office is about as likely as a paperless bathroom – and it seems the much-touted goal of helping the environment by reducing paper usage is still a long way off. But now there is a new direction – Warehouse Stationery is introducing a new product which will move another step towards the company's sustainability goals: paper made from wheat straw and furniture offcuts. Wheat paper, which looks and behaves like ordinary copy paper, is made in India from the stalks of grains left over from India's vast crop harvests, mostly in the north-west of that country. The wheat stalks are collected and processed and mixed with furniture offcuts, sourced and collected from manufacturers in the Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh."
