Going Green

Sustainable and new look for Correctbook

Please note! Soon there may be Correctbooks delivered in your letterbox with a completely new look! Last year we developed a durable and reusable kraft paper wrapper to replace the plastic seal. With this sleeve, which is also great to look at, our books are still well protected during transport and storage, but now without the use of plastic.

This sleeve is a fantastic step in our pursuit of sustainability in all our processes. The kraft paper of the sleeve is a sturdy, natural type of paper. You can dispose of the sleeve with the old paper, but even better: you can also continue to use it as protection for your Correctbook! In that case, you simply click the sleeve back on your Correctbook after you’ve used it.         

In the upcoming period we will switch to the new sleeve step by step. We will of course still use the latest Correctbooks with sealing - sustainable as we are – to not create any waste! It may therefore be the case that you will receive a sealed Correctbook in the coming weeks.

Working from home – since March 2020 we have become experts at this. After breakfast you jump behind your laptop to do a video call and right after your workday your free evening begins. No train, no car; commuting has decreased enormously during the past half year. That appeared to be a good boost for our climate. So a home office is nice and sustainable, but did you know that you can do much more to work from home in an eco-friendly manner? These 5 tips for working from home help you with that!

We are proud to announce that our production process has become even more sustainable. Correctbook and Trees for All have joined hands, so that the pages and the covers of  the Correctbook Original books are now produced C02-neutral.

Sustainability first

Sustainability has always been an important issue in our production process. We are careful not to use too much energy and water and we use green power when- and where-ever we can. Nevertheless our production process has a (limited) CO2 emission which results in a Co2 footprint. Naturally our aim was to further minimalise this.

For that reason we decided to look for a way to tackle this. We calculated most of the CO2 emission caused by the production process of our books, according to officially certified standards. After these calculations, all we needed to do was look for a responsible and transparant way to compensate this. We found a suitable organisation for this!

Cooperation with Trees for All

Trees for All makes it possible for us to compensate our calculated CO2 emission. They do this for us by using the funds they receive to plant and protect new forests. Trees for All is the most experienced partner for Co2 compensation in The Netherlands. They are also the only foundation with the CBF quality mark who compensate CO2 emission by sustainable forest projects. All projects of Trees for All are certified and guarantee the rated quantity of CO2. This makes Trees for All the perfect partner for us to compensate our CO2 footprint.

It feels good to continue our battle against illiteracy in an even more sustainable way!

Correctbook is an award-winning social company, that fights global analphabetism. Worldwide there are over 800 million people over 15 years old who are analphabetic. There are over 250 million kids who go to school without the use of pen and paper. Correctbook produces infinitely erasable writing materials. Why to use these erasable notebooks? We’ll give you 6 reasons!

1. Easy to use

An erasable notebook from Correctbook is super easy to use. Text and notes you will have made, can be erased in a matter of seconds. This way you can infinitely have clean sheets available. This allows you to endlessly write, using just one notebook! Even if you made an error, you don’t have to start all over. Just use the eraser, which is placed on the marker, use a moist towel or sponge, and you can start re-writing!

2. Much less costs

A Correctbook will help you to save costs. You just have to purchase it once, then you can endlessly re-use it. This will save costs on writing materials, such as notebooks, pads and folders. Especially when you use writing materials on a large scale, such as schools or in business, this can benefit you significantly!

3. You will contribute to the environment

An erasable notebook causes less paper waste. A simple and environmentally friendly solution. No more separate bins and shredders. If we can realize an unnecessary paper waste in every office, the environment would benefit enormously. Little effort, big deed!

4. Save space and work more efficient

A Correctbook allows you to work orderly and save space. No more mess on your desk, with piles of loose papers, or post-its. Research by ‘’Psychology’’ monthly has proven that a structured and neat desk will help you find rest and ba
