In the last 20 years, technology and innovation has made daily strides to move us into the future! Who remembers the old mobile phones where you could only save 10 text messages and 50 contacts?! Fast forward to today and now there’s technology which allows users to transfer money just using their mobile number (PayM)!

In all the time, paper products such as notebooks / notepads got left behind. Let’s be honest, the way we use them has not changed for a very … very long time! However, that’s all changed with Esquoia!

Esquoia (name inspired from the Sequoya tree) is a notebook revolutionising the stationary industry. Made by students from the University of Bradford and funded via KickStarter, Esquoia notebooks have characteristics similar to a whiteboard allowing you to write, wipe, re-write and re-use the pages while remaining water resistant.

Esquoia’s unique binder also allows the user to transfer pages to re-position in the notebook or transfer them to another notebook. Ink dries on the page within seconds and you can easily erase it with a napkin / eraser / wet cloth.

In short, if I had to sum Esquoia’s products in 5 words, they would be: reusable, effective, durable, environmentally friendly!

However, don’t take my word for it. Check out the below articles in the media, blogs, Youtube, KickStarter and Esquoia’s own website (none of these are referral websites).

    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
  • Thanks for the advise and discount. Do you have any eco notebooks that have fun bright designs similar to the collection at linednotebooks.co.uk ? I don’t think those are eco - it doesn’t say.
