A Startup Making Paper Out of Stone, Not Trees

All I can think is how this screws up existing recycle processes. In Denmark quite a lot of paper is recycled, but how does that work with this stone paper? If it cannot recycled together in a meaningful way, it's dead in the water.

I also wondered if it was recyclable, and according to the business's web site it is: https://tb-m.com/en/about/paper/

What ever "semi-permanently" means. But I was thinking that both traditional paper and this stone paper will end in the same recycle bin, so that needs to be possible to seperate. If it can't, there is no reason to use this at all for general paper as it screws up the existing recycle process.
