This notebook conserves forests, promotes biodiversity, supports recycling, and causes zero deforestation. Sugarcane accounts for 80% of sugar production in the world. After extracting the juice out of sugarcane, bagasse is the by-products. Bagasse paper products exceed environmental parameters set forth by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI), and other prominent forest management organizations. Before people realized that sugarcane bagasse is a precious renewable resource, it was just a bio-waste, but nowadays, bagasse is regarded as a valuable, renewable resource.
This Earth-Friendly notebook is 8.25" x 5.75" with 80 sheets of paper and twin-wire binding. The books are lined and use heavy-weight 20# paper made from Sugarcane. The sugarcane plant grows extremely fast, with three harvests a year compared to tree paper which can take 10 years. Also, unlike tree paper heavy gas-guzzling machines are not needed to chop and grind up this plant. This sugarcane notebook is 100% recyclable and you can also compost the pages (not the binding) and they will biodegrade in 30 to 90 days.
