Closer to home: paper from buffalo poop

Posted 03.23.2005 by Dave
They're making elephant poop paper in Thailand. They're making kangaroo poop paper in Australia. Now, finally, they're making buffalo poop paper in Blackfoot, Idaho.

Buffalo poop paper, marketed under the brand "Dung & Dunger Paper Arts," comes to us from Victor Bruha and Daniel Hidalgo, two Idaho artists. "Combining their love for the wilderness and natural creativity, they nurtured the somewhat unorthodox idea of converting bison dung into a usable art paper."

Does it smell? No. Is it pretty? Yes. Using similar methods as the kangaroo and the elephant folks, these two artists boil poop and combine it with recycled paper fibers to create a brown textured medium for their art.

PoopReport applauds their innovative form of recycling, and poses the challange: human poop paper, please. There's too much sludge being produced by our sewage treatment plants. Right now it's buried in landfills or applied to farmland; but since there are industrial chemicals bound up in the sludge, applying it to land is kinda scary. So: poop paper. Save trees, reuse sludge, keep chemicals out of the food chain. Somebody has to do it!
Show some poop support, or make a poop retort.

No human poop paper. NO! NO! NO!
The basic science of papermaking requires that the majority of the dung mass must contain cellulous fiber (plant material). It is the fiberous nature of bison dung that allows us to create good, strong sheets.
Plus dude, that is just gross.
