Meet the Competitor: Saunders Recycled Aluminum Citation Holder
Before we highlight our eco-friendly citation holder, let’s acknowledge what makes Saunders’ product popular:
- Durability: Aluminium resists rust and delivers a firm grip on your papers.
- Lightweight: Despite its strength, it won’t weigh down your bag or shelf.
- Trusted Brand: Decades of office supplies expertise behind every clamp.
Sounds great. But there’s always a catch:
- Energy-Intensive Production: Aluminium smelting is a power-hungry process.
- Limited End-of-Life Options: Recycling helps, but many deskside scraps still end up in landfill.
- Cold Aesthetic: Metal can feel sterile in a home or creative office.
Let’s see how Aegle Sriphal’s eco-friendly citation holder tackles these issues head-on.
Side-by-Side: Aluminium vs. Bamboo & Jute

• Fast-growing bamboo is a champion of renewability.
• Jute is biodegradable and absorbs carbon dioxide during growth.
The bottom line? Bamboo and jute grow without chemical fertilisers. Production uses minimal water and no toxic by-products. A clear win for an eco-friendly citation holder.
2. Functionality & Design

Beyond Comparison: Why Natural Materials Matter
An eco-friendly citation holder does more than cut carbon. It tells a story:
- Regeneration – Bamboo can be harvested every 3–5 years without damaging the ecosystem.
- Biodegradability – No hidden landfill time bombs. When you’re done, bury it.
- Non-Toxicity – No synthetic glues, no off-gassing. Safe for parents, students and office dwellers.
When you choose natural materials, you vote for a healthier planet. Every note you clip becomes a small act of conscious living.
How to Choose the Right Eco-Friendly Citation Holder
Picking your perfect citation holder? Consider these practical tips:
- Capacity – How many pages do you handle daily?
- Portability – Will you carry notes between meetings?
- Desk Real Estate – Need extra pen or note compartments?
- Aesthetic Fit – Does the material match your office vibe?
For heavy-duty legal or research work, you might prefer a standalone clamp. If you want all-in-one convenience, a multi-compartment bamboo organiser is ideal.
Putting It to the Test: Real-Life Desk Upgrades
I recently swapped my metal clip for Aegle Sriphal’s Bamboo Clock & Utility Holder. Here’s what happened:
- My desk feels cozier. No more cold metal tones under my laptop.
- I can see my pens at a glance. The compartments are surprisingly roomy.
- My partner asked, “Where did you get that?” Instant design conversation starter.
- Compost bin bonus. When I trimmed some frayed jute, I tossed it straight into my garden waste.
A small change? Maybe. But it sparked bigger conversations about sustainability around the breakfast table.
