TSHA — ecoMAXIMUS Project |
The Tony Samara Humanitarian Alliance has been supporting the company ecoMAXIMUS since 2007 by sharing their wonderful products in Europe. Originally Maximus was set up to Recycle waste printing paper. Many more waste products, that were often just thrown away, can also be used and recycled (rice paddy straw, cinnamon and banana bark are all used to add flavour and color). It did not take long to realise that the six resident elephants at Maximus are a living, walking natural material source. Maximus established that elephant dung was a perfect material to produce paper with. Hence the introduction of their signature “Elephant Dung” paper range. Maximus aim to use the “Elephant Dung” paper to create and then further raise awareness to the tragic circumstances that surround the Sri Lankan Elephants. They also develop strategies aimed at improving the socio-economic situation that currently restricts under privileged people living in rural areas. Conflict between man and wild elephants over land are severely detrimental to both. Maximus' vision is to bring these two together by implementing the Project “Peace Paper”. |
