Recycled Content
Recycling is the process of taking an otherwise-discarded item or material and cleaning, sorting, and breaking it down into its basic form (such as fibers or pellets). This material is then used to produce new items. Recycling keeps useful materials from being discarded in landfills, prevents resource extraction due to the creation of new materials, and provides a new life for used items. Recycling can utilize both pre-consumer waste (materials left over from production) or post-consumer materials (used clothing, empty water bottles, etc). This product is made from recycled content.
Love taking notes or journaling… but hate how flimsy and tearable classic notebook pages are? Us too. That's why we've switched to the Dotted Stone Paper Bullet Journal from A Good Company for all our journaling needs – a more functional (and eco-friendly!) option. Made from sustainable stone paper, produced out of reused stones from construction and factories, this dotted bullet journal is tear-resistant (bye paper cuts!), water-resistant, and extremely durable to keep up with your lifestylRead Moree. It opens effortlessly and lays flat for easy note-taking, and prevents ink from bleeding through the pages. Printed with non-toxic soy ink, this stone paper notebook features 144 blank pages and contains no wood-pulp, water, or added chemicals.

Plus, for every purchase, A Good Company plants trees in Africa to mitigate carbon emissions from production!

Not sure if this happened to others, but the dot grid was printed inconsistently. Meaning the grid was closer or further away from the edge of the page on different pages. Additionally, the item came shrink wrapped in plastic, although the specifications stated there was no additional plastic. Otherwise, it is a nice item.

I tend to sketch and keep notes in the same book. Does this have similar paper to your sketchbook? Would I be able to use watercolors? Also the specs don’t mention what the cover is made of. Would be nice if I could write or draw on it to customize the look a bit!

Hi there! This book has a very unique page texture that is the same as the Stone Paper Sketchbook! The cover itself is also made from stone paper – easily customizable with a multitude of artistic medium!

I’m a busy lady and this journal holds all the information I need so my brain doesn’t explode- so, basically, I’m in this journal all day every day. The ink doesn’t bleed through, the binding is strong, and it’s gone everywhere with me without looking tarnished. It is an extremely high quality journal that I look forward to replacing often due to how much I love writing in it. I also got two with lines instead of dots and those are worthy of the same review.

Question
Aly –
are the pages suitable for markers? I am planning to use for tracking pages read per day/per month and use mostly felt markers for color differentiation between books.

Hi Aly, thanks for reaching out with this question! This notebook is made from Stone Paper which makes it water-resistant and prevents ink from bleeding through. That said, you should be fine to use felt markers in this notebook! I hope this helped 🙂

I love this notebook! I primarily use pencils to write with, and there was a bit of a learning curve when I started writing in it, because if the pencil is too sharp/pointy, it dents the page (but doesn’t rip!) and is a bit hard to read because the writing is so thin. Definitely works better with a duller pencil. I do wish this notebook was recyclable, but since I used it for notes I hope to keep for a long time, I’m glad that it is more durable! This is actually the second one I’ve purchased after I enjoyed the first one so much. Definitely recommend!

I love the color and the pages are so smooth! Makes a great journal, but it takes a while to dry (I strictly have been using gel pens though). Have to leave the pages open for a while before closing, a ballpoint pen is probably best.

Decided to try this out as a keepsake journal because I was intrigued by the idea of creating a “paper” out of construction site waste. The end of life for this notebook isn’t the best (it’s not paper, so it cant be recycled) but since I plan to keep it for a long time I figured it was an ok option. The only drawback with the paper is that the ink I use doesn’t dry immediately so I’ve noticed a little smudging/ transfer on to the opposite page. Nothing bad enough to obscure my writing or anything and if I leave the page open for a minute or so the smudging is almost nonexistent.

I would definitely buy this again. I like how sturdy it is and the paper feels wonderful to write on. My only issue is that gel pens do not dry well on this paper and often end up smudging when I use them.

I was so incredibly excited for this purchase (planning on using it for next years bullet journal!) The quality is phenomenal and everything I expected. I would have given it 5 stars, however it was shrink wrapped in plastic upon arrival 🙁 even though the specifications clearly state that there would be no extra plastic (??). Still an amazing notebook and I highly recommend, but I was disappointed to see the unnecessary plastic

The pages of the journal are so soft. If you try to rip them they stretch like a thin plastic, very strange but exciting. I am happy writing in this notebook and I like the size!

I utilize dot journals to maintain my schedule and life! I love that this notebook is climate-positive and water resistant! The pages are soft, easy to write on with various writing utensils (I have used markers and pens so far), and it comes with a small pocket and a ruler! LOVE THIS!

Hi Kathy! We love stone paper because it is tree-free and super durable. Because the paper isn’t made of trees, most recycling plants cannot accept it. We recommend using it as something you plan to cherish for years to come as a keepsake!
