You know how to plant your seed paper but you want to know what will grow from your seed paper? Let's start by saying that the seeds embedded in our paper are all non-GMO and went through a purity test to avoid noxious weeds. The paper we use is approved by the CFIA and the USDA for planting in the U.S., Canada, and Europe Union.
Another important thing to know is that our paper is made of 100% post-consumer recycled content AND it will biodegrade in the soil when planted. In other words, we are reducing waste and giving back to Nature!
