Jon Tse and Kevin Garcia created Karst in 2017 after a trip to Taiwan and asking themselves “Why should paper be made only from trees? “.
Karst does not use paper pulp from trees to create notebooks but only the calcium carbonate found in the stone. To make this stone paper, Karst sources crushed stone from construction and mining waste near the Taiwanese factory, rather than digging and creating a new mine to extract the stone.
They then mix this stone powder with a non-toxic resin, then apply heat and pressure to flatten the substance. After many rotations on large, heavy rollers, the material is fine enough to be used like paper. It is then cut and bound to form the notebooks, which look and feel identical to those of other high-end notebooks on the market, plus this paper is water resistant.

Near Antwerp, two friends Linde and Tille, driven by a passion for design and paper, combined their entrepreneurial spirit to launch Redopapers. For them, each sheet of paper has a story, a soul, and deserves a second life. Guided by this desire to preserve resources, they decided to go against the grain of consumer society.
The notion of circularity is at the heart of their mission. They collect surplus paper from various local printing companies, all chosen for their eco-responsible commitment. All Redopapers stationery items, from diaries to notebooks, notepads, emanate from this philosophy, and are designed from 100% waste. This approach not only extends the life of resources but also paves the way towards a more responsible circular economy. Every detail reflects this passion for circularity: from the reusable covers, to the threads made from recycled bottles, to the carefully sealed, sturdy second-hand envelopes. For Redopapers, every detail demonstrates a sincere commitment to the planet.
Redpapers is much more than a company. It's a gentle revolution, an ode to sustainability and a reminder that beauty and responsibility can, and should, go hand in hand.
