This document summarizes the work of Zafree Papers, an Ethiopian company that produces paper products from agricultural waste rather than trees. It notes that traditional paper production requires cutting many trees and has high costs, carbon emissions, and long wait times to import pulp in Ethiopia. Zafree Papers produces paper from 90% agricultural waste that uses less water and energy than traditional methods. It aims to increase production capacity to save thousands of trees daily and expand across Africa to dominate the global paper market through environmentally friendly products.
