Changing the world, one poop at a time

We make one of the most regenerative papers in the world. It's 100% natural, chemical-free, and doesn't require a single tree to be cut down. We’re also passionate about employing local underprivileged women. Providing them with opportunities and the means to support their families helps the whole community, and we can all look forward to a better future together.  Because good business shouldn’t be shitty.

Meet the Family

Elephant Poo Paper was founded by Vijendra and his younger brother Ram Singh one day back in 2001 when Vijendra literally stumbled on the crazy idea of making paper from elephant dung.

Since then, the family has grown to include Sarika (Vijendra’s wife and rock), Savi (their daughter who will run the business one day) and their incredible team of local women.
