I LOVE office products and Staples is one of my favorite stores. Yeah…..I’m kind of weird I know. Back-to-school time and January (file the previous year away and tax time) are two of my favorite “office product” shopping times. All the new and fun products come out. Imagine how excited I was to review products by Staples. Sustainable Earth by Staples is environmentally responsible and reasonably priced. Two pluses in my book!
Sustainable Earth by Staples paper products are made from sugarcane by-products. This means fewer trees are cut down for paper. Sugarcane can be grown more than five times faster than trees, since it matures in just 15 to 16 months. Trees grown for paper in the tropics take 7 to 10 years to reach maturity. Also, after the sugarcane has been milled at the factory it is then used to produce paper. Thus creating a value from an agricultural by-product, grown for other purposes.
One of my favorite office supplies is paper – notebooks specifically! Two things are a must for me when purchasing notebooks. The quality of paper (not “flimsy,” bleed-through) and a perforated edge. I was thrilled that the notebooks from Sustainable Earth by Staples meet both my expectations. There is also a pocket in the front of the notebook, which is great for keeping hand-outs. The clipboard is nice and sturdy too!
My second favorite office and back-to-school supply is calculators! Sustainable Earth by Staples makes calculators (case and buttons) and staplers (the body) from 100% recycled ink and toner cartridges! This helps reduce the amount of waste in local landfills. That is amazingly cool, in my book!
The Sustainable Earth by Staples calculator is the perfect size for me to use at my desk or to bring to a meeting. Those tiny calculators, that I can’t read because the size of the numbers are so small, don’t work for me. Also, when using my smart phone during meetings, people think I am on my phone checking messages, but I am “working” numbers during meetings. The Sustainable Earth by Staples is small enough to carry to a meeting, but large enough for me to see the results. Also, there is no doubt I am “crunching” numbers and not checking messages. I have left you all a message below on my calculator!
The stapler is nice and sturdy. I can staple approximately 20 sheets of paper together, without any problem. If you are looking for back-to-school supplies that are friendly for our Mother Earth and your wallet, I would recommend looking at Sustainable Earth by Staples products.
