In the documentary film ‘ No Impact Man ’ , the main character Colin is a writer living in Manhattan, New York. He especially describes himself as an activist writer, not just writing a book. Then, how does Colin reflect his spirit on actions? He wants to contribute to the world with his work that is written based on his actual actions and experience.

rePAPER’s environmentally friendly coated paper, REPA COAT, is a product certified for having a home compostable property under natural conditions. rePAPER achieved the certificate by DIN CERTCO for proving that the intermediate product is both suitable for industrial composting which requires a bit higher temperature and humidity and home composting with much more harsh conditions. In order to see the extraordinary compostability of the product, we did a simple experiment in our front yard. Normally, a product made of unkraft paper is recognized to be environmentally friendly for its earth-like color. PLA-coated products also have been introduced to be easily composted in the soil. Would these be true? What outcome could we see if we actually plant the products in the garden? Let’s find out the result from rePAPER’s second composting experiment!
