MOYU: notebooks made of stone paper?
In cooperation with MOYU
MOYU throws traditional paper out the window and embraces stone paper as the strong, green alternative. It is made from - you guessed it - stone waste! No trees cut down for these notebooks, which is a great step towards a more sustainable planet. Stone paper is the sustainable alternative to normal ‘pulp’ paper. It is a sustainable, tree-free paper consisting mainly of crushed stone. No water and bleaching agents are used during the production of stone paper, which, among other things, reduces CO2 emissions by 67%. Furthermore, stone paper feels firmer and slightly thicker than normal paper and is tear- and water-resistant. You can wipe each page clean in a jiffy with a wet cloth, and because the paper is very sturdy, each page can be rewritten up to more than five hundred times. Want to keep notes? No problem! You can easily digitise these pages with scanning apps (and then erase it).
Did you know this about a simple A4 sheet?
Behind that paper industry is also a huge negative influence. That trees are taken for paper, even a child knows that. But that the negative impact is so great? Erase this:
- 7% of global CO2 emissions are caused by the paper industry.
- The paper industry is three times more polluting than the aviation industry.
- As much as 10 litres of water can be used to produce one A4 sheet of paper.
- 17% of all felled trees will be used to single-use paper of it.

How does stone paper write?
Smooth! Stone paper is not only gentler on our planet, it also offers a silky smooth writing experience. No snags, no torn sheets: it writes just as well, maybe even better, than and ordinary notebook, but then you leave fewer marks. Nice play on words, because of course by this I mean mainly the erasable effect of those notebooks. If you no longer need your notes or have scribbled down nonsense, you can erase it with water and no precious pages of paper have been lost to your ‘nonsense’.
