Most paper is made from wood. Even if you use “recycled” paper, which is a huge improvement, the process starts with cutting down a tree. At O’BON, we now use Bagasse paper for our notebooks.
For most people, this is a completely new word. Bagasse, pronounced “Buh-Gas”, is essentially what remains after the sugarcane plant is drained of its juice. This left over pulp or fiber has outstanding and very useful qualities:

Most importantly, the fiber or pulp that is often just thrown away has great uses. This fiber can be used to make paper, spoons, forks, plates and boxes, thus minimizing the demand for plastic. Best of all, these products can be made with little energy, no chlorine or other toxic chemicals.
Bagasse is truly revolutionary and O’BON is now using it in many of our newest products – like our A5 and A6 notebooks. O’BON is always trying to reduce our ecological footprint and Bagasse is a great way to do so.
