LOL. Gotta wonder how they came up with this though, someone somewhere thought 'hey, that sheep shit, that would make great paper'.

Sounds like they "nicked" the idea from the South Africa cooperative that use elephant dung in the same way. Elephant dung is particularly well suited because elephant digestive systems are pretty inefficient and so a lot of grassy fibreous matter comes right on through.

When I first read about the elephant dung place the literature gave the impression that the paper was made from elephant dung only but actually, as with this sheep poo stuff, it's simply one ingredient added to the regular components - recycled paper and fabric.

We visited and felt it was a bit of a gimmick really.

I'm thinking kind of the same thing with this sheep poo thing though that doesn't mean they won't do well with it.

Today everyone's looking for a USP and if they can throw in the word "eco" so much the better!
