Synthetic Paper The Eco-Friendly Solution

• In the present day and age, one can hardly close
  their eyes to the environmental crisis the world
  is facing. With population explosion around the
  world, the demand consumption for anything and
  everything has risen to unimaginable extents.

• The extensive use of paper, for example, has led
  to cutting down of innumerable trees and
  increased the carbon footprint. In order to
  restore balance, Cosmo Films has introduced an
  eco-friendly replacement of paper in applications
  which require durability and longevity. Cosmo
  Synthetic Paper (CSP), which is a co-extruded,
  white opaque, polypropylene-based film, is an
  ideal replacement to pulp based paper.
