LKed by Paris-based firm [Singular](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medicalgrade-stainless-steel-toothbrush) alongside investors including DMG Ventures, Cazoo, and Zoopla, the London-based stationery startup secured $50m for its endeavors. The brand offers various [recyclable stationery items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affirmation-gel-pens) and details step-by-step instructions to properly dispose of its products. Moreover, all of the brand's packaging is recyclable. Consumers can also recycle their used notecards, writing paper, invitations, and greeting cards. Papier's notebooks also offer recyclable options. Consumers can dispose of the inner pages of their planners, diaries, and notebooks in the recycling bin once they are used. The brand is continuously committed to incorporating sustainable practices into its business model.
