Oxford 1-Subject Notebooks, 8.5" x 11", College Ruled, 60 Sheets, Blue (161647)

Sustainable Product Design
This beautifully bound notebook is filled with paper made from 80 to 90-percent crushed stone. During the process, no tree fibers are used, and paper does not have grain. The paper is easy to write on and easy to cut using a pair of scissors. On the other hand, the paper is difficult to tear, waterproof and ink does not bleed through it. When you are done with it, the stone paper is recyclable with other wood-based paper or left to biodegrade in 12 months. The estimated carbon footprint of stone paper is 60-percent less than regular paper.

Double Wire Binding
Mechanical binding uses metallic filaments to bind the pages of the notebook together. This binding strategy allows the notebook to lie perfectly flat, making it great for applications where you need to write on your pages constantly. Double-loop wiring is a cost-effective bookbinding form that allows you to open the notebook completely flat in half. The finishing on the bindings is neatly out of the way for an uncluttered and clean finished look.

Inspire Originality
Masterpieces are borne from first drafts, and just about all first drafts are born in notebooks. The freedom to make mistakes is a critical component in the creative process. This trusty Oxford stone paper notebook is constructed from durable material to preserve your thoughts for years. Plus, the only sources of power required are your wrist muscles and imagination; no battery-draining to worry about. Even if an idea does not make the second cut, you have a permanent record you can go back to and refine in future.
