Onyx and Green
The average school in America will use close to 250,000 pieces of paper each year, with almost 4 billion trees cut down annually across the globe to support this industry. Onyx and Green is breaking this cycle of waste, not only with their unique paper products made from low-impact sugarcane and upcycled construction waste, but with an entire line of school and office supplies. From backpacks, to pens, to even rubber bands and calculators, they infuse creativity and sustainability into the designs of all their products. With consistency in their values and transparency in their production, materials, and values, Onyx and Green is helping to find new solutions in the office supply industry.

I take notes on notes on notes for my job and I hate technology, so all my notes are on paper. I was almost out of paper and since the world is closed due to the pandemic, I went online to buy. I realized that I was going through a lot of paper, and since I try and be more green in every other aspect of my life, I decided to try a paper alternative. I bought three of these notebooks before trying them out (I need paper, and I can’t just shell out $8 for shipping every time I need some), and honestly I’m a bit disappointed. Since I write a lot, I also have a preferred brand of pen – Pilot G-2. My pens and this paper do NOT get along. When I write with regular tree paper, the ink meets the page with a velvety softness. With this sugar paper, it scratches against the shiny surface, leaving streaks of ink where there are supposed to be words. I have tried to change the way I hold the pen, but its just not working. I will try other pens, (maybe the grass pens work on the sugar paper?) but I really like my G-2, and BIC gives me hand cramps (FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, I know). Also, the lines are black (not light blue like every other notebook in the world), which weirdly makes it harder to read (the lines blend in with my scratch marks) and its so thin, ink bleeds through the page forcing you to only use one side of the paper.
I *WANT* to love this paper, but I don’t. Its paper with a bit too much shine and not enough grip.

I bought this going back to school and use it for 3 of my classes because they have cool dividers, I highly recommend the art on the outside of the notebook is neat and they are duarable.

I haven’t used these yet but they seem heavy duty and will definitely work perfectly for school.

Question
Tammy –
I have notice a lot of people say to buy products in glass and not plastic, Why is that? I realize glass you can use for reuse, as well as plastic. but plastic I can recycle. If I buy glass eventually I more than I need, in my area we don’t have a glass recycling center so it would go to the trash dump. Your thoughts would be great!

Hi Tammy–great question! Unlike plastic, glass can be recycled indefinitely and maintain its quality. Plastic, on the other hand, gets “downcycled” whenever it goes through the recycling process. This means that each time a plastic product is recycled, that material can only be used to create something of lesser value. You can learn more about the plastic recycling process on our blog here: https://earthhero.com/whats-the-deal-with-rpet/
It’s unfortunate that your area doesn’t include a curbside glass recycling option (call your representatives!), however many specialty centers will accept this for you! You could probably do an online search for glass recyclers in your area. Thanks for doing your part!
