corporate FAQ
FAQ
Why should I order custom Rockbooks or Leafbooks for my company or organization?
Don’t get us started! There’re many reasons to switch to stone paper and leaf paper for beautiful notebooks, we are listing only a few here:
- Many trees are saved, as we only work with 100% tree-free paper types
- A lot of water is saved, because Rockbooks require no water to produce
- Rockbooks are waterproof, which makes them ideal for outside use
- Almost no bleach is used for our books: Rockbooks are naturally white and Leafbooks’ pages are unbleached
- We are a certified B-Corporation, which means that we are “using business as a force for good”
- Waste materials are used to create high-quality notebooks: discarded limestone for Rockbooks and agricultural waste that would be burned for Leafbooks
- The CO2-footprint of Rockbooks and Leafbooks is much smaller than traditional substitutes
What are Rockbooks and Leafbooks made of?
Rockbooks are made from stone paper. Literally: paper made from stone. This sustainable tree-free paper-alternative consists of 80% limestone, which is discarded from quarries thus a waste material. It is combined with 20% HDPE (high-density polyethylene), a recycled type-2 plastic. This process results in a 67% lower CO2-footprint in production.
Leafbooks are made from what we call leaf paper. This is exactly similar to traditional paper, but made from 100% agricultural waste. This means that no trees are cut down for the production of this paper. Using a waste material as a source product for high-quality paper makes for a 47% lower total eco-footprint. No bleach is used for the Leafpaper natural pages.
All our notebooks are made in the Netherlands, adhering to the highest environmental and ethical standards. This includes printing with inks based on vegetable oils only, and roofs filled with solar panels.
And how much valuable resources do I save precisely?
We’re glad you’re asking. Down below you can find the impact per volume of Rockbooks.
| Water savings | CO2 savings | Energy savings | Tree savings | |
| 500 books | 5,33 m3 | 86,13 kg | 1,56 GJ | 1,62 trees |
| 1000 books | 10,66 m3 | 172,26 kg | 3,11 GJ | 3,24 trees |
| 2500 books | 26,64 m3 | 430,65 kg | 7,79 GJ | 8,1 trees |
| 5000 books | 53,28 m3 | 861,3 kg | 15,57 GJ | 16,2 trees |
We know you’re probably wondering what these numbers exactly mean. Well, in the case of 2500 books for example… 26,64 m3 water equals 666 showers. 430,65 kg CO2 equals a car ride of 3.845 kilometers. 7,79 GJ equals 279 days of power for an average household. And 8,1 mature trees equals… It couldn’t be that surprising, but that equals exactly 8,1 mature trees. 🙂
