Key features & specs

How it compares

This Eco-Eco sketchbook provides a thicker 150gsm sheet compared to the standard 100gsm found in most general-purpose recycled notebooks. In contrast to high-end cotton sketchbooks, this recycled option offers a slightly more textured tooth that is excellent for charcoal and pastel, though less absorbent for wet inks.

How to use it

1. Utilize the textured 150gsm paper for dry media such as charcoal, crayons, and soft pastels.
2. Flip the pages 360 degrees thanks to the recycled wire binding for comfortable outdoor sketching.
3. Store in a dry place, as recycled fibers can be more sensitive to extreme humidity than virgin wood pulp.
4. Recycle the individual sheets or the entire book (minus the wire) once your projects are complete.
