The books contain plain, lined and to-do list pages.
Why Choose Recycled Paper Notebooks?
Although most virgin paper is FSC-certified, ‘sustainable forests’ often mean old-growth trees are chopped down (which provide homes for wildlife) and replaced by fast-growing saplings that are grown with toxic pesticides. Some of this paper is also bleached with chlorine, which pollutes waterways and harms wildlife.
Creating paper from old paper is a great way to close the loop, and also uses less water and energy. It also helps to save our forests, and all the creatures that live within them.
Recycling 1 tonne of paper saves 17 trees and 26,000 litres of water. And also cuts up to 74% air pollution and reduces methane emissions at landfills.
