01 — The Problem
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is 4× larger than Tajikistan — 566,040 km².
Of all plastic produced is never recycled — ending up in landfills and oceans.
Only a fraction of the world's plastic is recycled. We're here to change that.
02 — Deforestation
trees cut down every year for paper production
Paper manufacturing is a leading cause of global forest loss — destroying habitats and biodiversity.
Paper mills discharge toxic chemicals into rivers and ecosystems, threatening aquatic life.
Deforestation accounts for up to 10% of global CO₂ emissions — accelerating climate change.
03 — Our Product
04 — How It's Made
PET bottles collected from communities, beaches, and recycling points.
Sorted, cleaned, processed into fine plastic fiber for pages.
Fibers compressed into smooth, durable writing sheets.
Sheets bound into finished notebooks — waterproof & planet-friendly.
05 — Key Metrics
We transform plastic pollution into high-quality notebooks — giving waste a second life as a tool for learning.
