About Us
Thanks for being interested in who we are!
We're so proud and really get a kick out of saying that we, The Great Elephant Poo Poo Paper Company, is focused today on the production, innovation and marketing of all sorts of fun products
made
from elephant poo
!
We have a fun and dynamic international team at our modest outfits in N.
America, Australia, Japan, and Europe where we spread the word and sell
our products 
as well as in Asia where we make all our fantastic products using age-old
paper making techniques, evolved locally over hundreds of years. We love doing what we do!
The Spirit and Passion Behind Our Products
The spirit and passion behind our products is rooted in our belief that our products represent a healthy and sustainable balance between ecological responsibility
and commercial pursuit. We need more of that on our planet in our opinion!
We also love the fact that our products would enable us a vehicle in which
to directly contribute modestly to the welfare and conservation efforts
for endangered elephants
.
We also really find it incredibly amusing (as do many others!) that we sell
poo for a living - a notion that allows us to not take ourselves too seriously
too much of the time...!First developed and brought to market by our founder, Mike (a.k.a "Number 2"), in 2002, we distributed our products
in
a limited quantity to a handful of respected environmentally responsible
stores and gift shops. Those goods then were quite a bit more expensive
than what they are today and while consumer interest was strong, we felt
we needed to try and get our costs down so that more people could afford
and purchase these handcrafted items with such an incredible message of
ecological responsibility and sustainability 
.
Since that time, we've worked feverishly to modify the manual production
process and work with the artisans that craft our products more efficiently
and do all the things needed to make our goods more commercially viable.
Well......we've managed to decrease our production costs while at the same
time improve our product quality, durability and improve both design and
packaging. The result is what you see today - an fantastically innovative
and fun product line with great merchandising, packaging and pricing - all
with a positive ecologically responsible message most importantly.
