In-Depth Review
Precision Meets Accessibility
Memo, a boutique German sustainable office supplier, has developed this ruler to solve two problems at once: the difficulty of reading fine print and the environmental impact of virgin plastic stationery. For the newly plant-based consumer, Memo is a dream brand, as they are strictly non-toxic and use no animal glues or finishes in their product storage or manufacturing. This ruler features a specialized 'Eco-Grip' ridge, making it easy to pick up from flat surfaces—a common struggle for those with reduced dexterity.
Designed for Longevity
Unlike flimsy transparent rulers, the Memo Eco-Grip is made from robust post-consumer recycled plastic. The center of the ruler features a magnifying lens strip that doubles the size of the text beneath it. This makes it a dual-purpose tool for seniors: a measuring device and a reading aid for fine-print documents or labels.
| Material | Recycled Content |
|---|---|
| Main Body | 100% Post-consumer Plastic |
| Inking | Non-toxic, Soy-free Synthetic |
Regional Craftsmanship
Based in Greußenheim, Germany, Memo operates one of the most eco-efficient warehouses in Europe. Their focus on the DACH region ensures a lower carbon footprint for local shipping and guarantees that labor standards exceed international requirements. Every aspect of this ruler, from the tactile grip to the optical clarity of the lens, is quality-checked to meet rigorous German standards.
