sustainable notebook COLLECTION

We are pleased to present our sustainable and eco friendly notebooks collection, which has been hand selected by the team at Willsmer Wagg. We really care about the environment and are so glad you are interested in looking at sustainable options.

In this catalogue we have tried to include the most sustainable options that we can supply, with minimal ‘ green washing’. All these options provide greener alternatives to traditional items. They are fully or partially made of natural, sustainable or recycled materials, and in our opinion are the best products for promoting your brand in the greenest way possible. These are products that will not unduly harm the environment or the people in the supply chain, are reuseable and durable

Please speak to us if you require any compliance certification which we can supply

RECYCLED PET (RPET)

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a thermoplastic that is 100% recyclable into the same PET products (fibre and bottles).

PET is most commonly used in the packaging of drinks, food, personal care and pharmaceutical products.

PET material collected for recycling is carefully separated and cleaned in the process. Sorted bottles are ground up to "flakes". These flakes then are thoroughly washed in more stages to remove any residue of dirt or foreign materials. The material is heated to melt the plastic that is extruded into strands and chopped into tiny pellets. Pelletized plastic provides a uniform-sized material that can be reintroduced into the manufacturing process.

RPET can be used for numerous applications. When it is spun into fibre is used to make clothing, jackets, polar fleeces, and bags. PET plastic can be recycled again and again without any change in its characteristics or quality

WHEAT STRAW

Wheat straw is a type of fibre-reinforced plastic, made from an agricultural by-product; the stalk that is left behind after wheat grains are harvested.

Reusing this natural waste also reduces the need for disposal, which is often accomplished through burning it, contributing to air pollution.

Fibre-reinforced plastics are composite materials that are made by combining plastics (like PP or ABS) with natural fibres (like bamboo fibre or wheat straw). This combination provides a more flexible and durable material and products that can serve you for a longer time. Adding natural fibres also means that less thermoplastic is used in the production process.

Given that these products also weigh less than traditional plastic items, their transportation requires less fuel which makes them even more sustainable

CORK

Cork is the bark of the cork oak tree; it is a completely natural raw material. It is a sustainable and renewable resource because the cork tree is not cut down, only the bark is stripped to harvest the cork, after which the tree immediately begins to grow new bark. Once the cork oak tree is about 25 years old the cork can be stripped from the trunk every nine years. The trees live for about 200 300 years. Furthermore, it is completely biodegradable and recyclable.

Cork is lightweight, impermeable to liquids and gases, elastic and compressible, provides thermal and acoustic insulation. Because of these characteristics, it is used in a variety of products. When the harvested bark is of high quality it is known as "gentle" cork, and it is used to make stoppers for wine and champagne bottles. However, the first harvest called "virgin" cork usually produces lower quality material.

These sheets of cork – along with the used stoppers that are collected – are ground up and manufactured into new cork products like flooring, shoes, cork boards, insulation and other products including promotional merchandise!

SUGAR CANE & PLA PLASTIC (POLYLACTIC ACID)

PLA Polylactide, or Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugar cane, therefore also known as "bioplastic".

This means that PLA is a biodegradable material made from corn starch produced by plants - natural and renewable. Lactic acid is produced by the fermentation of that corn starch, creating the fibres used to make PLA.

This environmentally friendly process converts natural resources into the ideal sustainable material. It is biodegradable and has similar properties as petroleum-based plastics, like polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) but is much better for the environment.

The most common uses of PLA include traditionally plastic promotional merchandise, bottles, and biodegradable medical devices, while PLA fibre can also replace non-renewable polyester textiles.

STONE

We have many products available that are made from % stone waste and % plastic to bind it.

Stone material (Calcium Carbonate) uses far less resources than a regular plastic production method, with less water, less fossil fuels, no bleach, no toxins!

Whilst reducing the plastic content it increases the items weight and gives it a higher perceived value, as well as helping you hit your sustainability goals.

BAMBOO

Bamboo is one of the most sustainable materials on the planet.

It is a an incrediblly fast growing plant; certain species have been recorded to grow 910 mm within one day! Although a more typical growth rate for commonly cultivated bamboos is 30 100 mm per day during the growing period.

It grows to maturity in 5 years versus 30 - 120 years for wood. And the plants extract CO2 from the air during their growth! After a bamboo plant is harvested, four to seven new plants grow from the roots. It produces new culms each Spring from its continuously growing root system, regardless of the harvesting of mature stems. No replanting necessary, just made possible by nature.

Bamboo is known for its stong and flexible surface, which makes it a robust and durable material. It is naturally antibacterial, which makes it a convenient material to use in the production of toothbrushes, combs and other bathroom accessories.
