　In January 2008, Protekt Group LLC will introduce the tree-free, waterproof, and decomposable paper in the United States. Traditionally, it takes 27 grown trees to produce one metric ton of paper, but this paper is made out of calcium carbonate and high-density polyethylene. These are the main differences between these two types of papers.

　"Our goal is to save as many trees as possible for future generations," said Jonathan Lu. The entire process does not require felling any trees. In contrast to normal paper products, this tree-free paper does not require any water. The tree-free paper can be recycled for other non-paper items.

　"I believe the success of this product will benefit not only the environment, but also the paper industry,” emphasized Mr. Lu. This product hopefully will be able to change people's impact on the environment.
