O’BON has now revolutionized paper. Once again, O’BON has made it clear that no tree will ever be harmed in the making of an O’BON product. Instead of cutting down trees to produce paper or using unbleached “recycled” paper (yea, that light brown ugly grainy paper), O’BON actually uses sugarcane fibers that are leftover from farmers who extract the juice from the sugarcane for resale. These leftover fibers are then processed and made into white paper, without the use of bleach, since the sugarcane fibers are naturally white.

This sugarcane paper, also known as bagasse (pronounced buh-gas), is an environmentally friendly alternative to paper made from wood. It is 100% completely bio-degradable, non-toxic, and naturally white. All of O’BON’s notebooks come with bagasse paper, in three different sizes – A4, A5, and A6, along with three different series – O’BONanza (fruits ) Series, Birds Series and Sugarcane Series.

Rumors have been flying around lately that O’BON will soon be introducing bagasse paper for printing in laser and inkjet printers, which would be fantastic for businesses looking to turn green. I can’t wait to see what’s next for the bagasse revolution!

Remember, its buhhhh-gassss… tell your friends!
