FAQs

We offer three sustainable product lines:

• Recycled & Unbleached Paper: Everyday stationery and copier supplies made from 100% recycled paper waste; processed without bleaching chemicals. No virgin wood pulp. No deforestation.
• Seed Paper: Visiting cards, conference tags, and invitation cards made from recycled cotton waste, embedded with non-GM seeds. Use it, plant it, watch it grow.
• Bamboo Tissues: Facial tissues, toilet rolls, and napkins made from bamboo grass fibres. Unbleached, tree-free, and chemical-free — gentle on skin, kind to the planet.

“Unbleached Paper” is made without chemical whitening agents and harsh additives, allowing it to retain its natural soft grey-white tone rather than an artificially bright white appearance.

Its natural colour reflects the paper’s raw, authentic and more sustainable character.

Planting EkoScrib seed paper is easy and rewarding:

• Soak the paper in water for 3-4 days until it softens.
• Gently tear into moderate-sized pieces for even growth.
• Place in potting soil and cover lightly with a thin layer of soil.
• Water regularly and keep in natural sunlight. Soon, you'll see your seeds sprout. 🌱

GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. It indicates the weight and thickness of the paper. Higher GSM means thicker and more durable sheets, while lower GSM papers are lighter and thinner.

Two differences that matter:

Regular copier paper is made from virgin wood pulp — trees cut down, chemically pulped, and bleached white with chlorine-based agents.

Recycled copier paper is a step forward, but most recycled options are still heavily bleached to achieve a bright white appearance, introducing the same chemical concerns.

EkoScrib copier paper is both — 100% recycled and unbleached. No deforestation. No bleaching chemicals. No dioxins. The grey-white colour tone is not a compromise. It is the difference.

Yes, our recycled copier paper is designed for high-quality performance and is compatible with all standard printers and photocopiers. It supports clear, smudge-free double-sided (duplex) printing without ink bleed.

Absolutely! Despite being made from recycled fibres, you can expect the same reliable strength, print quality, and durability as traditional paper for all writing, printing, and filing needs.

Every 500-sheet pack helps save approximately:

• 6,250 g of wood (prevents deforestation)
• 80 litres of water
• 8 kWh of energy
• A small change, multiplied daily, makes a real impact.

Choosing EkoScrib can support your organisation’s ESG and green procurement goals, reduce reliance on virgin resources and demonstrate measurable commitment to the UAE’s sustainability priorities, including the UAE Net Zero by 2050 agenda and Circular Economy Policy 2031.

For businesses, it is a simple way to turn sustainability commitments into everyday, visible action.

EkoScrib tissues are made from bamboo grass — not trees. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth, reaching harvest maturity in just 3 to 5 years compared to 20 to 50 years for trees used in traditional tissue production.

Once cut, bamboo regrows naturally from its own root system — no replanting needed.

Yes. Because our bamboo tissues are unbleached and free from chemical additives, dyes, and synthetic fragrances, they are naturally gentle on sensitive skin. They are suitable for the whole family — including children, elders and those with skin sensitivities. Bamboo's naturally long fibres also make our tissues lint-free, meaning no residue is left on skin after use.

Yes. EkoScrib bamboo tissues are manufactured in facilities certified under FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 22000 standards. FSC certification ensures our bamboo is responsibly and sustainably sourced.

Yes. EkoScrib bamboo tissues are fully biodegradable and break down naturally after use. Unlike conventional tissues that may contain plastic binders or chemical residues, our unbleached bamboo tissues return to the earth without leaving a lasting footprint.

Most bamboo tissue brands available in the UAE — including several local and imported brands bleach their tissues “white” using toxic chemical processes.

EkoScrib is one of the very few bamboo tissue brands that are genuinely unbleached. Our natural bamboo colour is not a compromise — it is the clearest visible proof that no bleaching chemicals have been used. If a bamboo tissue is bright white, it has been chemically treated.

EkoScrib facial tissues and toilet rolls come in packaging made from recycled materials. Please note that bamboo napkins may use plastic film packaging — we do not make a blanket plastic-free claim across all SKUs. We are actively working toward fully plastic-free packaging across our entire range.

Every pack of EkoScrib tree-free bamboo tissues directly prevents deforestation, saves water, lowers greenhouse gas emissions and keeps harmful bleaching chemicals out of our ecosystems. Bamboo absorbs carbon as it grows and produces 35% more oxygen than equivalent stands of standard trees, requires no pesticides, and regenerates naturally — making it one of the most circular raw materials available for corporate essentials.

Absolutely. EkoScrib bamboo tissues are hospitality-grade — soft, strong, and 3-ply. We supply facial tissues, toilet rolls, hand towel rolls and napkins to hotels, restaurants, cafes, and event venues across the UAE. Our unbleached bamboo tissues also support your establishment's ESG and green procurement goals. Contact us for trade pricing and samples.

Bamboo is technically a grass — it belongs to the Poaceae family, the same family as lawn grass. Unlike trees, bamboo does not require replanting after harvest because its root system (called a rhizome) remains intact underground and sends up new shoots naturally — similar to how your lawn grows back after mowing. This is what makes bamboo genuinely regenerative rather than simply renewable.

At EkoScrib, we believe sustainability starts with awareness. We encourage everyone to use only what they need — one sheet where one sheet is enough. Every sheet saved is a small but real contribution to reducing consumption and protecting natural resources. It is a principle we print on our packaging and stand behind as a brand.
