Still Waters Posted August 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2012 If you'd ever dreamt of handing your partner a Valentine's Day card made from pulped elephant poo, you don't have to dream anymore, because a company in India has produced some. Creator ijender Shekhawat plans to process 30 tons of the gigantic faeces every month in order to produce special paper to make the cards. http://www.metro.co....elephant-faeces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simbi Laveau Posted August 8, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2012 O_o What are the greetings inside the cards...? Happy birthday to you,happy birthday to you ,this here's recycled poo, I was too cheap to spend any more on you.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golly Buster Posted August 8, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2012 'Elephants' gastrointestinal tract cannot digest fibres well,' he said.'About 40 per cent of everything goes through untouched but softened and pre-pulped. 'As a result, their dung make fantastic paper when it is pressed and processed.' Vijender is committed to expanding his Haathi Chaap (Elephant Stamp) business to include delivery to European customers. Good idea. The rich and depraved will love this.

Beckys_Mom Posted August 8, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2012 So, keep feeding the elephants.. wait for them to do a ka ka.. and then make a mint from the paper...If the paper is good quality...and they are doing well..good for them.. I picture someone drawing a cartoon to promote this..An elephant sitting on the loo reading a paper he made earlier lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemonix Posted August 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2012 This may not be such a bad idea, it's recycling. You probably won't know the difference if nobody told you the cards where the cards came from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunn Posted August 9, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Okay, how ironic would it be if they used the same material and somehow made it into toilet paper? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted August 9, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Good recycling as already said. Wish they'd shown pictures of the cards and a little bit of the process. (not the first process though.. We've all seen that before lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Chubb Posted August 9, 2012 #15 Share Posted August 9, 2012 You probably won't know the difference if nobody told you the cards where the cards came from. Probably? Birthday cards that can be identified as recycled 'Elephant poo' by look, feel, texture or smell would not sell very well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
