Some paper is simply too good to pulp, which is the whole idea behind the Takeo MOTTAINAI Memo Block Notepad. Takeo hold thousands of fine papers, and as colours and weights are retired or renewed, perfectly sound stock would otherwise be cycled back into raw material. MOTTAINAI catches it first and binds it into a memo block, so the paper gets used rather than recovered. Each block holds 150 sheets — 50 each of three papers.Which three depends on the block you get, and that is rather the point: some arrive in a single family of shades, others in an assortment you could not order twice. The sheets have real substance under the hand, thicker and more textured than any office pad, and you write on them without the faint guilt that beautiful paper usually provokes. A share of what Takeo make from these goes to tree planting in Kenya, which seems a fitting end for paper that was never meant to be wasted.Why You'll Love It You stop rationing the good paper: You tear off a sheet for a shopping list without a second thought, because the whole point is that it gets used. Every block is different: You never quite know which papers you'll get, and the one you fall for is rarely available again. Notes worth keeping: You hand someone a message on properly textured stock, and it lands differently from a sticky note. Please note: MOTTAINAI blocks are made from limited remaining stock, so the papers vary between packs and are not repeated once gone.Details Brand: Takeo Product Line: MOTTAINAI MEMO Type: Block Memo Size: 90 × 90 × 22 mm Sheets: 150 (50 sheets each of 3 papers) Material: Takeo fine paper; papers vary by pack Country of Origin: Japan
