Our transparent paper is composed of a 100% natural regenerated cellulose film. Regenerated Cellulose is a film obtained from 100% refined cellulose, which comes from the wood pulp. The process of production of the transparent paper does NOT alter the chemical nature of the cellulose film and for this the process of production uses chemically inert, insoluble, infusible and innocuous material. This film is treated with emollients which give the softness and humidity with emphasis on its high shininess and the highest transparency.

Glycerin is a natural substance used in many perishable and non-perishable products to give softness and shininess to the product. Some of these products include:

• Candies
• Cakes
• Non-sugar sweeteners
• In cooking in general

Glycerin is a neutral, sweet-tasting, colorless, thick liquid which freezes to a gummy paste and which has a high boiling point. It attracts moisture and gives the product a shiny and soft texture. This is the reason for the use of glycerin. It can only be harmful when re-heated various times at very high temperatures. This does not happen with aLeda as it can only burn once and cannot be re-used.

Our product is made from treated eucalyptus cellulose, re-managed and reforested in a sustainable way in accordance to ISO 14001, which makes it ecologically correct. These trees are planted primarily to cover raw material necessities and at the same time to preserve the environment through high technology plantation authorized by IBAMA (Brazilian Environmental Institute) and complying with technical foresting criteria through sustainable managing and selective cutting. The cellulose used to make our product has a biodegradable certificate as per European Laws.

Always remember that aLeda is TRANSPARENT – you can always count on us to know the truth. Transparency is the key to our growth!
