MELBOURNE, Australia, October 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- We may be living in the digital age, but a paperless society is far from being a possibility.
Despite the continuing efforts to recycle, discarded paper still accounts for 27% of waste in landfill sites.[1]
In North America, we use an average 505 lbs of paper per capita annually. Every office uses 10,000 sheets of paper on average each year, and 50% of this will end up as garbage.[2]
If every person did just a little bit more to save paper, our small individual contributions will help the environment in a big way.
The Paper Saver Notebook is a simple solution for putting your scrap paper to further use, reducing waste, and doing a bit more for the environment -- in a stylish way.
Made from high quality faux leather, the Paper Saver encases a sturdy plastic pocket to simply yet cleverly allow you to insert your own scrap paper inside so that the back blank sides of the otherwise would-be discarded paper become the pages of your beautiful bounded notebook -- elegant, professional with a modern edge that subtly showcases your support of the environment. Once you have used up both sides of the 50 sheets of paper that fit into the Paper Saver's pocket, simply replenish with more of your scrap paper -- your endless paper supply for the pages of your Paper Saver Notebook.
The Paper Saver Notebook was designed and created by Jon Yong, an Australian architect who grew tired of seeing sheets of printed draft designs become obsolete almost as soon as they came off the printer, still warm. Putting this idea together to put the waste paper to greater use, he soon realized not only could his colleagues benefit from a Paper Saver, but the greater society, and more importantly, the environment could as well.
The Paper Saver is available for purchase for USD$15* each from www.papersaver.com.au... a small price to pay for the bigger picture.
The Paper Saver -- the last notebook you'll ever need.
