Sheep poo-made paper! It won £20,000 Millennium Award
Irani | Oct 26 2006

Sheep poo is no longer just compost for a gardener! A Snowdonia-based company has shown just that. It has innovatively made paper with sheep droppings! And its ‘Sheep Poo Paper’ products have helped it grab a £20,000 Millennium Award for “social entrepreneurship”.

The collected sheep droppings are sterilized, washed and mixed with other recycled paper, turning them into the finished paper and cardboard. But, this is not just how the company has contributed towards the environment; it has also distributed the washing water to local growers as concentrated fertilizer.
