Matabooks is a young company from Germany. They are the first publisher to offer vegan novels and notebooks made from grass paper. They manufacture their products in a particularly sustainable and fair manner.
The books are biodegradable and are mostly made by hand.

Due to the naturally low lignin content in grass, no chemicals are used in production. In addition, the products are free of animal ingredients, such as bone meal in bookbinder's glue or animal dyes in printer's ink.

The raw material grass is available in sufficient quantities as a natural product in Germany. As a result, transport distances between the harvest and the paper mill are short - on average only 100 km. This reduces CO2 consumption by up to 75%.
