A gift that grows with you

Are you looking for an original, sustainable and meaningful gift? Releaf by Rippotai plantable paper is an innovative solution that combines creativity, love for the planet and social inclusion. This unique material is made with natural fibers and plant seeds that, once planted, transform into beautiful flowers or aromatic herbs. Not only that, this plantable paper is supportive, as it is made inside the ManoLibera paper mill laboratory, in the Forlì prison. A symbol of rebirth and care for the environment, perfect for any occasion.


What is plantable paper?

Plantable paper is handcrafted from recycled paper using recycled fibers, integrated with seeds pressed directly into the material. Once used, just plant it in a pot or in the ground, water it and watch the magic: the seeds will sprout, giving new life to the paper.

How does plantable paper work? The steps are very simple:

  1. Cut the paper into pieces, making sure that there are seeds in the parts you choose to sow.

  2. Water it very well and place it in a pot with soil, covering it with a light layer of soil. If you want to plant it in the garden or on the balcony, wait until spring!

  3. Water it regularly and, within a few days, you will see the first seedlings appear!


Why is it a special gift?

Plantable paper is not only an eco-friendly product, but it is also a way to convey a profound message:

  • Sustainability: Made from recycled materials, it reduces waste and environmental impact.

  • Originality: A unique gift that surprises the recipient and leaves a lasting impression.

  • Involvement: The recipient of the gift can actively participate by planting it and watching it grow.
