What is Khadi Paper?

While khadi is one of the most impressive papers to use, many people have never heard of it.

Regular paper is made from either wood, bamboo, hemp or flax. These materials have to be grown, harvested, then processed to make paper. Khadi paper on the other hand, does not come from these sources.

Khadi paper is made only from old shirts. People also call khadi paper rag paper for this reason. The paper is literally made from clothes that have become too worn to wear.

Processing Different Papers

Regular paper and khadi paper come from very different sources, but the processing of these sources share similarities. Regular paper comes from agricultural products that need to be grown and harvested.

These raw materials are turned into a pulp that is then washed. The pulp contains cellulose and lignin. The cellulose is the solids, and the lignin acts like the glue that binds it all together.

Through processing, the lignin is washed away. After, stabilizers, dyes, and other chemicals are added to the paper which is then pressed into sheets. One the sheets dry, they can be worked and cut to size and shape. This is how you get a normal sheet of paper that you might run through your home printer.

Because khadi paper made of rag, it does get pulverized and turned into a pulp. One of the biggest differences in the process is that khadi doesn’t contain lignin, there is no need to use chemicals or stabilizers.

Khadi is also made of a longer thread material. This helps provide stability and strength to the final product. While khadi can be dyed, it doesn’t need to be. Khadi is made to be pH neutral because there are no chemicals used in its processing.
