Sustainable Stationery, Spirals & Extra Pens: The 7 Stages We All Go Through (With Rescript by Our Side)

28th April 2025

We all know the drill. You open your browser to buy one thing. Maybe it’s a pack of paper. Maybe just a single notebook. But somehow—magically, mysteriously—you end up with a whole stack of fresh sustainable stationery and a surprising number of extra pens.

Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. And honestly? When everything you’re buying is good for the planet, that “accidental” stationery spree becomes a win-win.

Here’s how it goes down—especially when you’re browsing through beautifully crafted sustainable stationery products that make you feel just a little bit better about going overboard.

Stage 1: “I Only Need One Thing” (You Never Do)

It starts off innocent enough. You ran out of copier paper. You’re on the hunt for a high-quality sheet that doesn’t cost the Earth, literally. 

You find 100% recycled A4 copier paper, with no unnecessary bleach or harmful dyes. Clean, simple, and made from sustainable paper. You feel good already.

And then it happens...

Stage 2: “Ohh Look at These Notebooks!”

You spot them. Notebooks. Soft-bound. Hard-bound. Kraft covers. Ruled. Unruled. A5. B5. Square. A collection designed for every kind of thought—from grocery lists to journal entries to sudden 3 a.m. genius ideas.

They’re not just pretty. They’re made from recycled paper products, responsibly sourced and thoughtfully manufactured. You tell yourself you only need one.

Next thing, you add three recycled paper notebooks to the cart. For variety.

Stage 3: The Eco-Justification Spiral

Here’s where the inner voice chimes in:

“I’m not overdoing it — I’m investing in sustainable stationery.”

And it's true. These aren’t impulse buys. They’re better choices for the planet. Every notebook, every pen made from recycled paper products helps reduce your carbon footprint and promotes waste paper recycling.

Stage 4: The Kit That Changes Everything

You think you’re done, and then you see it: the sustainable stationery kit.

It’s curated. It’s minimalist. It includes notebooks, pencils, pens—all plastic-free and thoughtfully designed. It’s the stationery starter pack for anyone trying to make an eco-conscious switch.

You add it to your cart before you even finish reading the product description.

Stage 5: “Okay, Maybe I Went Overboard” (You Didn’t)

You take a moment to assess your cart. Multiple notebooks. Recycled pens. A stationery kit. A lot more than that one pack of paper you came for.

But here’s the thing: every single product supports sustainable paper manufacturing. No trees harmed. No toxins used. Just clever, clean design with the Earth in mind.

It’s not overboard. It’s forward-thinking.

Stage 6: The Unboxing Glow-Up

Your order arrives. And the packaging? Recyclable. Minimal. Plastic-free.

The products themselves? Everything feels as good as it looks. The paper is smooth. The notebooks are sturdy. The pens are functional and fun. Your workspace gets an instant glow-up with your new environmentally friendly stationery.

You’re officially that person—with a beautiful desk and a clean conscience.

Stage 7: The Overshare (We Support It)

You can’t help it. You post it. You send pics to your group chat. You mention how switching to sustainable office stationery isn’t just easy—it’s actually enjoyable.

And just like that, you’re the eco-icon of your circle. The friend who buys “cool” stationery and saves the planet a little in the process.

Final Thoughts: Sustainable Feels Better

There’s something deeply satisfying about surrounding yourself with stationery that not only looks good but does good. When your tools for work, school, or creativity are born out of waste paper recycling and ethical production, every note you write feels a little more meaningful.

So the next time you feel that urge to refresh your stationery stash, go for it. But make it sustainable stationery.
