There are many things in our lives that have dematerialized, we can no longer touch or smell them, they have become “virtual”: bank statements, commercial and monetary transactions, contact with friends or family, and we even read electronic books. This has reduced our dependence on paper, ink and other stationery items to a very significant degree and is being of great help in caring for the planet.
However, there are many facets of life in which we still need to use paper. For example, the charm of a handwritten letter is undeniable. Those little notes that we stick on the refrigerator, a hidden message to be found by the right person. For many people the Sunday newspaper is a source of pleasure, as is the aroma of a classic book resting in the library. And outside of the romanticism, things like legal documents, like property titles, contracts, or many things from the office. And of course, paper continues to be very necessary for the education of our children.
For many reasons, we are not ready to say goodbye to pen and paper, however at the same time we increasingly need to take care of the planet, be aware of the ecological footprint that we leave with each product or service we use. And that is where the ecological stationery is gaining weight within the traditional stationery products. The best online stores already have specific sections for this concept.
What is ecological stationery?
It is both recycled paper, created from waste material and not cutting down trees, as it is made with raw materials from sustainable sources. Fast-growing trees or bamboo, for example, are more environmentally friendly and sustainable; and they are also more easily renewable.
Also the manufacturing process should avoid chemicals or use those with the least possible environmental impact. Packaging should also be minimal. All of these factors contribute to green stationery.
