how it’s made:

“This handmade Lotka paper is made in the highlands of Nepal by rural craftspeople in an environmentally friendly process with 50% recycled content. the raw material for [the] paper is the daphne bush. It is farmed and harvested from 3-4 year old plants that are cut down and stripped of their bark. the plant is not destroyed when cut down, it regenerates from the root. The can-like stick, once its bark is removed, is dried and used to heat villagers’ homes and to produce fuel for things such as cooking. it is also used for fuel for the production of the paper. All of the water used in the paper production is reclaimed and reused. The bark is beaten by hand and boiled to break it down to a pulp (where it is mixed in with recycled pulp and paper scrap collected from card and envelope manufacturing processes) that is then poured into screens to form the sheets. The sheets are then dried in the sun.”
