Coffeenotes Sustainability

We were so impressed when we discovered Coffeenotes. They're a small, family-run company in Dorset that make everything in-house at their carbon-neutral factory.

Some of the steps they take that are sustainability-driven include:

• Using as little ink as possible in production
• Designing their notebooks to be glue-free
• Only using pulp-coloured papers to reduce the use of dye
• No coating on wires to ensure 100% recyclability

Product care

Coffeenotes' products are produced as sustainably as possible, with minimum use of ink and glue, and no plastic wrapping or laminates.

They use premium quality papers and boards for their covers, but these will mark and scuff with use. We see this as part of their charm but to minimise marking, extra care should be taken when packing products in a bag etc.

Many of the products are hand finished and as such there will be slight variations.
