In the world of promotional merchandise, reducing waste is more than just a trend, it’s a responsibility. Our A5 Sugarcane Notebook (QS1690) embodies this, offering an alternative to traditional paper products without compromising on quality or style.
Thoughtfully Designed with Innovative Materials
This notebook is crafted using a combination of carefully selected recycled materials:
- Cover: Made from 350g recycled sugarcane paper, composed of 55% recycled sugarcane fibres and 45% pre-consumer recycled paper.
- Inner Pages: Like the cover, the pages follow the same composition, 55% sugarcane and 45% pre-consumer recycled paper.
- Spine: Constructed from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester.
What is Pre and Post-Consumer Recycled Paper?
Pre-consumer recycled paper is sourced from industrial scraps, such as paper trimmings and unused offcuts from manufacturing processes, preventing waste before it reaches the consumer, reducing overall material waste.
Post-consumer recycled paper on the other hand, is made from paper products that have already been used and discarded by consumers. These materials are collected, processed, and transformed into new paper products, helping to close the recycling loop and reduce landfill waste.
How is Sugarcane Transformed into Paper?
Sugarcane paper is derived from bagasse, the fibrous waste residue left after extracting juice from sugarcane. Instead of being discarded, bagasse is repurposed into a pulp, creating an alternative to wood-based paper. The process involves:
- Collection: Sugarcane stalks are processed for sugar extraction, leaving behind bagasse as a by-product.
- Pulping: The bagasse is blended with water and broken down into a pulp.
- Refining & Cleaning: The pulp is cleaned and refined to improve quality and texture.
- Sheet Formation: The refined pulp is spread onto screens, where water is drained, forming thin sheets.
- Pressing & Drying: The sheets are pressed and dried to create a durable paper material.
