Description

This notebook is built entirely from waste streams. The pages are made from 100% waste paper collected locally. The cover is cut from reused advertising banners, and the binding yarn is made from recycled PET bottles.

The Coptic binding allows the notebook to lay flat on a table, making it easy to write or sketch without holding pages down. Inside, you can choose between blank pages or a 5 mm dot grid.

Each cover is cut from a banner, which means colours and graphic fragments differ from piece to piece. The mock-up gives an indication, but every notebook has its own variation. Minor marks or scratches can be visible, depending on the banner’s previous life.

It’s refillable, practical and made to be used daily. Not decorative. Just solid, circular stationery that stays in rotation longer.

Like all Redopapers products, it’s handmade in Antwerp and wrapped in leftover packaging materials.

Who is this for

• For people who write, sketch or plan regularly and want a notebook that feels different from standard stationery
• For those who like seeing fragments of reused banners on their cover instead of a generic print

Out of the ordinary

Because the cover is cut from reused banners, colours, print fragments and small surface marks vary per notebook. The format stays consistent, the look never repeats.
