Hand-made Papers and Products : Thailand Factory
We invest in and run a factory at Chiang
Mai , Northern Thailand, which serve as a flagship of
our hand-made papers and products. This factory designs
as well as produces hand-made papers and hand-made products,
one by one, all by the villagers there.
The handmade paper is also known as
mulberry paper, as it is made from the bark of mulberry
tree. The factory occupies 3 hectares and employs about
100 workers. In addition to producing mulberry papers,
the factory fabricates, cuts and crafts the paper into
cards, book covers and gift items. Besides, they innovate
a series of hand-made products using other natural materials
or mix and match the mulberry papers with other materials.
The materials that they have worked on include mulberry
bark, metal embellishments, shells, raffia, mesh, hempen
rope or cloth.
The whole production process is environmentally
friendly because after we have cut the trees, we re-grow
them, and as regards wastage treatment, the contaminated
water is stored in a pool which will be pumped out weekly
for proper disposal.
