Paper, Please
Libby Hampel, founder and designer
of MASU - a paper goods company in
Columbia, Missouri - reiterates the
power of sustainable items. Before
launching MASU, she considered the
impact her actions would have on other
people and the planet.
Curious and resourceful, Hampel
knew she could create goods that were
eco-friendly and ethically made. " I'm
always aiming for that sweet spot of
looks, feels and does good, " she said.
For this artistic entrepreneur,
necessity sparked her invention.
Hampel struggled to find stylish
wrapping paper that was fully made of
recycled goods, recyclable and made
in America - so she launched her
own collection in fall 2021. In February
2023, she added greeting cards adorned
with the same playful, bold designs
that embellished the giftwrap.
The paper used for wrapping is
premium-coated, 100% recycled and
made in America. It features a velvety
smooth finish on both sides.
MASU's paper goods are printed on
an HP Indigo Press, which produces
superior color quality, is ideal for small
runs and enables the printing of a
variety of designs without additional
setup costs for each, Hampel said.

envelopes, are 100% PCW (postconsumer
waste) recycled and are
recyclable. The collection also includes
recycled denim envelopes, which are
made in the U.S. from cotton and denim
textile scraps.
Future-Focused
Like Hampel, SproutWorld's
Stausholm had a longtime interest
in sustainability. It was always
important his company give more
than it takes from the earth.
SproutWorld is involved with a variety
of sustainability projects. Last year, it
planted 12,000 trees in Poland.
