Nepalese Lokta Paper is handmade by local families in Nepal and is fair-trade classified. It is an eco-friendly paper made from the fibrous bark of the Daphne Shrub or Lokta Bush. After harvesting, the plant completely regenerates to full maturity again within 4-5 years. If left to grow past maturity the Lokta Plant will not have any new growth, therefore, the harvesting process helps the forest continue to grow.
