The ReadyMade Recycled Range has very special paper indeed inside each notebook.
100% recycled paper is used in all our notebooks and it is made in a traditional English paper mill near Hemel Hempstead. The mill specialises in making recycled paper, and all the different types of paper that they make have no chlorine, bleach, acid or detergent used in the production process.
The papers the mill produce are rather special as they are made using some rather unusual materials alongside 100% post consumer waste...
| Elephant Poo Paper: This paper is made using the poo collected from elephants at the Woburn Safari Park, in England. The poo is collected and brought to the mill - where it is well washed and then included in the papermaking process, thereby drastically reducing the amount of wood pulp required... Elephants generally have a very inefficient digestive system whereby almost 45% of its food intake can pass through as undigested matter - elephants can produce about 1 tonne of waste material per week! |

| Rhino Poo Paper: This paper is also made with poo - but this time from UK rhinos in Paignton Zoo. Rhinos have a very similar herbivorous diet to elephants, but have a slightly more efficient digestive system - but they still manage to produce a huge amount of raw material for the paper mill to work with! |

|
| Stamp Paper: The paper is made by adding some stamps to the paper mix - the misprinted stamps from the Royal Mail are collected and shredded - then added to the paper pulp - resulting in a very attractive paper with a unique smattering of colour and texture across every page. This paper is no longer in production - so there are only a limited amount of notebooks that will ever be made with this special paper... |
 |
|
| Glittery Paper: This paper is alight with silver holographic sparkles, which brighten up every page. |
 |
|
| Salt and Pepper Paper: This paper is made using the off cuts from preciously recycled paper - making it recycled recycled paper! The ink that was on the paper in its previous incarnation is left on - instead of being de-inked - and this gives the paper an unusual feature of making it look like it was sprinkled with a light dusting of salt and pepper. |
