Review: Sustainable Notebooks (Gifted)

March 23, 2019 by Roxanne | Leave a Comment

Sustainable notebooks review

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well!

A few days ago, I kindly received 3 A5 sized sustainable pocket diaries from A Good Company (www.agood.com) in exchange of a review, so here I am! You guys now I only accept collaborations from brands I am genuinely interested in and that would interest you too. Lately I have really been into design and sustainability, I even have a lesson dedicated to these topics at school.

I really hope you will enjoy this post, happy reading!

About the brand

A Good Company is a sustainable stationary brand from Sweden. They sell notebooks, sketchbooks, journals, pocket diaries, bullet journals and even natural pens. Everything is made out of 100% recycled materials: No trees, no water, no acid, no bleach, 100% solar energy and printed with soy ink. How cool? We definitely need more brands like this one!

From mindless consumption into conscious decisions. We exist to create elegant, thoughtful and sustainable everyday products. We refuse to take shortcuts, and we obsess over every single step in the journey of our products, from how they are made to how they end up on your doorstep. – Via agood.com

The Packaging

When I received the package in the mail, I noticed that it was also sustainable. The parcel was also made of 100% recycled materials and printed with soy ink. Also, the transport of the package is climate compensated!

WeForest Project

With every purchase you make, A Good Company plants a new tree in Zambia, Africa.

In the Luanshya district of the Zambian Copperbelt, WeForest works with hundreds of small-scale farmers. Providing them with training and tools to diversify their sources of income while they plant and protect local forests. As a result, they receive a higher income, diversify their economic activities and learn new skills. The project also links the farmers to local private sector companies to ensure their honey for example gets sold. This way, the project becomes more sustainable, which makes the beneficiaries less dependant on the WeForest contribution. -Via agood.com

The Notebooks

I received 3 pink A5 sized sustainable pocket diaries. As said before, they are made with re-used stone, printed with soy ink and no chemicals were used. The paper is waterproof which is really cool too! There are different sizes and you can get blank, lined or dotted pages. The pages are also detachable which is really nice. The A5 size is really convenient to travel with and fits in your bag.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the notebooks. Everything is very well made and it feels really nice to write and sketch in them. I am saying this because I hadn’t heard of the brand before so I didn’t know what to expect.

Regarding the prices, they are a little higher than the average notebooks but I feel like it’s well worth the investment because of how sustainable everything is. The concept is amazing, we really need more brands like this one to help our environment!
