The 7 Best Recycled Home Office Stationery
Working from home saw a major boom like never before due to the lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic. What was once a rare thing became a lot more common. A lot of people who had no other option, but to get work done from home, found themselves hopelessly unprepared for it. It is true that we do most of our work on the computer these days but there is also a need for office supplies to be as productive as one can be.
Sometimes when we are taking notes during work calls or working on documents, we find ourselves missing essentials. Since a lot of people don’t think of their home as a workspace, important stationery may not find its way on your grocery shopping list. We decided that now we would have to do a lot of our regular work from home, we should equip ourselves with everything we need. While we were at it, we decided to also pick out the products made exclusively from recycled and eco-friendly materials. It never hurts to do your part for the environment – even if it is as small as buying the right pencil!
So today we are going to present to you our top picks for the best, recycled, home office stationery.

These Eco-Pens are made from 100% recycled plastic and cardboard. They are biodegradable, eco-friendly, and non-toxic making them completely safe for the user and the environment. The ink is a quick-dry formula enabling consistent strokes while writing. We like the texture of the pens. It doesn’t feel artificial like plastic. It gives the user a luxurious writing experience. The company behind them is very conscious of its product and role in saving the environment. They donate 10% of all profits to environmentally responsible and sustainable organizations. They also make great gifts for the other eco-conscious people in your life.

Dixon Ticonderoga Renew Recycled Number 2 Pencils
These #2 pencils are made with 53% pre-consumer recycled wood. They use a special process in which scraps are recycled and joined together to make new pencils. This makes sure that waste wood from other manufacturing processes is put to good use. The actual graphite part of the pencil is great and makes for a smooth writing experience. They are completely nontoxic. They are safe to hand over to your children for their school work too.
Recycled Newspaper Pencils – Set of 24
These ones we recommend just for the wonderful concept. They are sure to be something to talk about with your coworkers… If you had any! But seriously though, we would take these out to our actual workplace if we could right now. They are made from recycled newspapers and absolutely no trees have been used in their manufacture. We were worried about the structural integrity of these pencils due to them being made of paper shreds. We are happy to report that they feel completely solid and we have no complaints when it comes to sharpening this recycled home office stationery item or using them day-to-day.
Stationery Parchment Recycled Paper
These come in a pack of 50. They are made from premium quality, durable, and lightweight 65lb cover stock. Every paper has a parchment finish. They are available in 10 different colors: aged, ice pink, bluestone, spring green, new champagne, natural, natural cream, new white, pewter, and new smoke gray. You can use them in inkjet and laser printers safely. They have good ink absorption and shouldn’t give you any problems. We would not use them on a day to day basis for rough work but would rather prefer to save them for special purposes like invitations, menus, announcements, brochures, and tent cards. They have a great high-end finish that will be appreciated by people you send these to in the form of invitations. They are manufactured completely in the USA.

This pad is great for taking notes. They are lined and are made from 100% recycled fiber with at least 30% post-consumer content. The paper is watermarked and has 25% cotton content. There is a slight texture to the paper which makes it feel amazing under the hands. The backboard is strong enough to support writing on this pad. The perforations on top are deep enough that when you rip off the paper it comes off cleanly without leaving any bits and pieces behind. You get 4 pads in the purchase pack with each pad having 50 narrow-ruled white sheets.
Black Colored Kraft Paper Roll
Finally, we look at paper products available for all your hobby projects. This roll of recycled home office stationery paper comes in 10 different colors (black, blue, light blue, green, light green, red, orange, pink, purple, and yellow) and 5 different sizes. This makes great wrapping or origami paper. It is light enough to be used as a wrap and sturdy enough to be used in art projects. This flexibility is why we adore this one. The paper comes wrapped around a 3” core with end caps for 1” rods. This core lets you hang them from tabletop and wall dispensers. This product is made and sold directly from the manufacturer located in Pensacola, FL.
So those were our favorite stationery products to keep at hand. We work hard at our jobs. It is great to know that there are reliable and affordable stationery items that we can use without feeling guilty about damaging the environment. To make a direct comparison, if our home is a company, the latest quarter results are in and productivity is through the roof!
