Why Eco-Friendly Stationery Matters
Ever paused mid-page to wonder where your notebook came from? Most traditional pads and pens carry a heavier footprint than we realise.
The Environmental Cost of Traditional Materials
- Trees felled for paper.
- Plastic barrels in ballpoints.
- Dye chemicals in inks.
That’s a lot of water, energy and landfill. Not exactly the vibe if you care about the planet.
Introducing Sustainable Alternatives
Enter eco-friendly stationery. Think notebooks with bamboo leaves, pencils embedded with seeds and ink from vegetable dyes. You get:
- A guilt-free page turn.
- Products that biodegrade, not pile up.
- A chance to plant life, literally.
Spotlight on Competitor: Dingbats* Notebooks
You’ve probably seen Dingbats* in every stationery store window. They’re shiny. They’re vegan. They even give 40p per notebook to WWF-UK.
Strengths of Dingbats* Earth Collection
- Faux-leather covers.
- Micro-perforated pages.
- Dot grid, index pages, pen holder… they’ve thought of it all.
- High-quality FP and MM papers for artists and bullet journalers.
It ticks most boxes. But it’s not perfect.
Where Dingbats* Falls Short
- Production Transparency
Ever ask where that faux-leather comes from? Hard to find specifics. - Plantable Impact
Great for journaling, but you can’t bury your pen and watch daisies sprout. - Price Point
Premium materials, premium price. Not everyone can splurge.
That’s where Aegle Sriphal steps in.

Bamboo-Leaf Notebooks: Function Meets Planet
Our bamboo-leaf notebooks use thin strips of bamboo woven into every page. The result?
- Silky smooth surface.
- Naturally antibacterial.
- Pages that are sturdy yet fully compostable.
Imagine jotting down your to-do list and knowing that, when you’re done, it can feed the soil. No microplastics. No PVC.
Plantable Pencils: Write & Grow Wildflowers
Feel creative? Scribble with a pencil that doesn’t just fade away—it flowers. At the end of its life, pop it in some soil. Within weeks, wildflowers emerge. It’s like a mini garden in your garden.
Plant a page.
Grow a memory.
That’s genuine eco-impact. Not just words on a marketing page.

How to Get Started with Your Bullet Journal
Bullet journaling can be daunting. Here’s a quick start:
Setting Up Your First Sustainable Layout
- Cover & Index
Label your bamboo-leaf notebook. Track pages on the inside cover. - Future Log
Sketch out key dates with a plantable pencil. Why not doodle a bloom next to each entry? - Monthly Tracker
Use vertical bars to monitor habits—like carbon-free commutes or plastic-free meals.
Tips for Bullet Journal Bliss
- Keep it simple. Doodles are fine.
- Use colour sparingly. Vegetable-based inks complement our pencils.
- Reuse pocket flaps for receipts and ticket stubs. Compost later.
You’re not just journaling. You’re crafting a sustainable story, one dot-grid square at a time.
