Not only do they resemble the minimalistic Moleskine books, they are made of 100% [recycled paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rae) and come in a slew of vibrant colors. Ecosystem Notebooks have already developed a staggering reputation for [eco-friendliness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-bags-for-essentials), with some sources estimating that (as of 2009) 3,046 full-grown trees, 1,299,751 gallons of water and 283,974 pounds of carbon emissions have been cut via their production. Pretty darn impressive, to say the least. Back to school shopping just took a turn for the better. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Workbooks:** Ecosystem Notebooks are leading the trend in eco-friendly workbooks by utilizing 100% recycled paper. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Stationery:** The stationery industry has an opportunity for disruptive innovation by creating more eco-friendly products like the Ecosystem Notebooks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reusable Paper-Free Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuka-book.md) - [Sleek E-Ink Digital Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manta.md) - [Modular Refillable Notebook Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system.md) - [Ecologically Conscious Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-laptop.md) - [Cost-Effective Upcycled Paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rescript.md) - [Carbon-Neutral Stationery Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabercastells.md) - [Eco-Friendly Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprout-worlds-plantable-pencils.md) - [Eco-Friendly Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/14-inch-eco-edition.md) - [Pleated Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-and-issey-miyake.md)
