The papermaking process at the mill uses natural fibres, a continuation of a tradition linking the women to their ancient culture. Their female ancestors wove local fibres into baskets as part of their role in traditional life as gatherers. Today women of all ages from the community work together to turn 100% cotton fibre into paper as a means to provide and build a future for their youth.
The fibres from both the river and surrounding land give the papers locality, identity and tradition, all of which are reflective and important to the papermakers.
Situated in the north-western cotton belt of New South Wales, Euraba utilizes the cotton fibre off cuts from clothing manufacturers that would otherwise be landfill. From the field the cotton is ginned, spun, woven and garments constructed. The off cuts are collected by us and recycled and put through the paper making process resulting in our papers and product.
Our range of paper products at Euraba, include stationery sets, artist papers, art cards, paper packs and paper which is suitable for invitation and certificate use.
