Paper from Elephant Poop - Mr. Ellie Pooh from Sri Lanka

Now, you might be excused for thinking what I'm gonna say is a pile of, er, poop, but not, this is true.

A company in Sri Lanka is making paper from elephant poop:

"Since an elephant’s diet is all vegetarian, the waste produced is basically
raw cellulose. Thoroughly cleaned and processed, the cellulose is
converted into a uniquely beautiful textured product, marketed as “Ellie
Pooh Paper”.

So, thus we have the company Mr. Ellie Pooh making what else, ellie-pooh paper.

but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.

In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
