The Poopoo paper factory donates bananas to the elephant sanctuaries in exchange for elephant poo.

Here we take the poo pulp balls and squish them onto the plastic screen in the water

We lean the screens against the bars here so they can dry in the hot sun ☀️☀️☀️

Elephant Poo Paper

December 30, 2018 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

A few days ago. we went to an elephant poopoo paper factory with Grandma and Grandfather. At the factory they take elephant poo and clean it, boil it, colour it and make it into paper using coloured or neutral balls of elephant poo pulp. We mashed the balls of pulp onto large screens in water. Then we got to make our own paper on the screens, but it takes about five hours for it to dry, so we took home paper made by people before us. Then, we got to choose something made with elephant poo paper to decorate with elephant poo paper. The things you could choose from were bookmarks, notebooks, paper fans, wallets, greeting cards and other things like that. I decorated a wallet for someone special. At the end there was a big gift shop and we spent a lot of time there!!
