In-Depth Review
Artistry Meets Circularity
Eco-Jot has been a pioneer in the sustainable stationery space since 2007. Their recycled sketchbooks are not just 'partially' recycled; they are constructed from 100% post-consumer waste paper. This means no new trees are harvested to create your canvas. The paper is processed chlorine-free, which prevents toxic runoff into waterways during the bleaching process.
The sketchbook features a heavyweight 80lb paper that is versatile enough for pencil, charcoal, ink, and light watercolor washes. The binding is done with vegetable-based glues and inks, ensuring the entire product remains biodegradable and vegan-friendly.
High Performance for Diverse Media
- Durable hard-cover made from recycled board
- Acid-free paper prevents yellowing over time
- Lay-flat binding for easy side-to-side drawing
- Produced in North America to reduce shipping emissions

"The texture of the paper is surprisingly smooth for 100% recycled content. It handles ink brilliantly without feathering." - Sustainable Art Blog
The brand is woman-owned and operated out of Toronto, Canada. They maintain a strict ethical labor policy within their localized supply chain. By keeping production close to home and utilizing wind-powered energy for their printing presses, Eco-Jot minimizes the carbon footprint of every notebook produced. Their 'GIVE' program also supports literacy and reforestation projects globally.
