Green Products - TerraSkin

With the "green movement" being so strong right now and rightfully so, I want to start a segment of blogs on green products and their availability. I am going to start with an item I have heard alot about but haven't gotten to see it or hear directly from a user of it.

TerraSkin™ made by Design & Source Productions in New York has eco-friendly characteristics and is made from a combination of large amounts of mineral powder and with a small quantity of non-toxic resin to create an environmentally friendly paper.

TerraSkin has very similar characteristics to traditional paper.

TerraSkin also has many eco-friendly characteristics. First, the production of TerraSkin requires no water, so the TerraSkin paper making process incurs no water pollutants. Second, as TerraSkin contains high proportions of inorganic mineral powder, when the end user is done with the TerraSkin product, the used paper will biodegrade when left out in nature for approximately 3 to 9 months turning back into the mineral powder. If preferred, used TerraSkin papers can also be burnt safely as non-toxic resins will not emit smoke or any poisonous gas. TerraSkin can easily and cost-effectively be recycled in the future. The future production of TerraSkin, residues of inorganic mineral powder can be either reused or safely returned to nature.

Most importantly, in producing TerraSkin, there are no trees involved. The paper is treeless.

TerraSkin has printing benefits as well. With all environmentally friendly advantages the TerraSkin paper has it also has significant printing flexibility. Because TerraSkin does not absorb ink like regular paper, using less ink than traditional paper. The imprints stay much more crisp and clear on TerraSkin paper than on traditional paper because the ink does not bleed and is not absorbed by the TerraSkin paper. TerraSkin also does not require any additional coatings or laminations. The paper is water-resistant and stays strong and durable and it has its own unique texture based on its mineral make up.

I am looking to hear from users of this product. I would like to know everything about it - cost, minimum quantity for ordering, does the manufacturer stock it or is it custom, quality, durability and consumer acceptance. I understand that a Modern Art Museum has changed all their bags over to this product.
