FOLKUS
FOLKUS products are a medium to tell a story, to transfer knowledge, and to write a new chapter on sustainability. FOLKUS represents the lived experience and contributions of Black folk across an array of domains and aims to expand how we celebrate, cope, and connect through Black culture and environmental stewardship.
FOLKUS packages the sustainable practices of Black folk with innovative material science and manufacturing. FOLKUS stone paper is made from calcium carbonate, a common substance found in limestone rocks, marine organisms, and eggshells. They opted for sustainably sourced limestone primarily derived from construction waste to create our stone paper. Limestone's bright white appearance makes it possible for FOLKUS to ditch the typical "bleach" and optical brighteners used to make old-school paper.stone paper gift wrap is multipurpose and helps consumers infinitely reimagine the gifting and repurpose experience. A single roll of FOLKUS wrap can be used for gift wrap, as a table runner/cloth, drawer liner, backdrop, floral, food and chilled beverage wrap.
