From plant residues to sustainable stationery
Despite digitalization, it is surprising how many offices and households still use paper (desk) calendars, diaries, or organizers. Made from PaperWise, these ‘paper helpers’ are not only practical but also sustainable! Eco stationery comes in all shapes, sizes, and designs. Be inspired by how Rabobank, Zettler Kalender, and Mooi Graphic Studio have designed their sustainable calendars, diaries, and planners—made from agricultural waste.
While 3-month and desk calendars are widely used by companies, we see photo, weekly, monthly, and birthday calendars frequently in consumers’ homes. As a corporate gift, the desk mat is a popular choice. With PaperWise, it is possible to make all this stationery significantly more sustainable!
If you want to give your sustainable calendars and planners the look and feel of sustainability, choose our environmentally responsible unbleached PaperWise Natural paper or paperboard, just like Mooi Graphic Studio (see example above). They have released a complete eco line on this natural material. The MOOI eco family planner, weekly planner, and notebooks are made of PaperWise Natural 90 g paper, the interior of the MOOI eco quote book is made of PaperWise Natural 150 g paper, and the MOOI eco gift cards, postcards, double greeting cards, and fill-in cards are printed on PaperWise Natural 295 g. PaperWise Natural has a natural light brown color (because it is unbleached), which contributes to a sustainable appearance. Combined with black tones, the natural material gains a stylish touch. But colors also come to life on PaperWise Natural! In a cleverly chosen design, the colors actually enhance the natural material.
Rabobank has chosen to have the cover of their environmentally responsible weekly and monthly calendars printed on PaperWise White 110 g paper and the interior on PaperWise White 90 g paper. On every page, their sustainable choice for ecologically and socially responsible PaperWise is communicated with the mention “Printed on agricultural waste paper”.
The German company Zettler Kalender has a range of environmentally responsible desk calendars and diaries made from PaperWise. For the cover, they chose the unbleached light brown PaperWise Natural 263 g paperboard, and the interior is made of the similar PaperWise Natural 70 g paper. The whole is bound using wire-o/spiral binding. Zettler Kalender also consciously communicates the sustainable choice for PaperWise. The front features a reference to agricultural waste “100% AGRAR, PAPIER AUS AGRAR-RESTSTOFFEN” and the back provides more explanation about PaperWise paper.
PaperWise believes in connection to create a future-proof world together. We support our customers in their communication about sustainability and provide various PaperWise logos and texts for this purpose. This visual material is a communication tool to tell your message about sustainability. We are happy to think along in terms of solutions and catchy communication, whether you are looking for communication materials for printing, packaging, or office supplies such as weekly planners and monthly calendars.
