This is an excellent choice for the environmentally conscious artist. Tree Free sketch pads are made from 100% recycled materials: 25% hemp and 75% recycled. No virgin wood pulp from trees is used.
Hemp, the world’s most promising source of tree-free paper, is low in lignin, acid free, and naturally bright. As a result, it can be processed using less chemicals and no chlorine bleach. It will last hundreds of years without degrading, and can be recycled many more times than tree-based paper.
The laid finish is recommended for dry media such as pencil, charcoal, and pastel and for wet media such as pen-and-ink and light washes.
