Sheep Poo Paper Products
Creative Paper Wales is the only craft paper mill in Wales and the makers of beautiful handcrafted papers and paper products including the unique and wonderful Sheep Poo Paper™. For the environmentalists amongst you, all the paper is made from recycled materials and their processes are designed to live up to the highest environmental and quality standards possible. And yes, the recycled materials does include good old sheep poo!
If you don’t believe me, here’s an excerpt from their “How It’s Made” page:
“We take great care to collect super-fresh sheep poo from the beautiful (and rainy) mountains of rural Wales and take it back to the mill, situated in southern Snowdonia. We don’t just make Sheep Poo Paper™ and for our other papers we use waste paper, rag and textile off-cuts and just about anything else we can think of that has good length cellulose fibers in it. Of course, we don’t use tree - we like trees.”
Creative Paper Wales make some great gifts including numerous greetings cards, menus, maps, bookmarks and air fresheners (Poo-Pourri fragrance of course!).

For the record, jungl mentioned a book he’d just loaned from the library which reminded him of me - Sheepshagger: A Novel

Well, Steve, it ALL makes sense now why the Welsh sheep don’t pose for pictures the way the ones have for Mrs. Nesbitt in Yorkshire!!… The Welsh sheep don’t need the extra cash– they’ve got other businesses they’re involved in.
Suddenly looking at the writing paper on my desk in a suspect light…

Incredible, yet another animal poo story, haha.
Who knew poo could be so lucrative? I’ve written several posts recently on other means that people are turning body waste to cash
