Tree-Free Journals and Notebooks


Boku Tree-Free Kenaf Paper Makes Beautiful Books!

Our world is losing its forests at an alarming rate. Nearly half the trees currently harvested are used to make paper, but there is now a sustainable substitute source for paper-making fiber. The growing demand for paper made with kenaf, a fibrous plant from the Mallow family that's related to cotton and okra, has made it an increasingly viable alternative economically.

Boku Books' use of tree-free kenaf fiber paper has saved literally hundreds of trees already and is contributing significantly to the building of the first kenaf-only pulp mill - which will be the cleanest pulp mill in the US. Put simply, Kenaf offers a way to make paper without cutting trees, and the company's goal is to increase the amount of kenaf fiber in Boku Books to 100% before long.

Made from 30% kenaf fiber and 70% recycled sheet, Boku Books replace larger, loose paper systems for things like grocery lists, passwords, notes and messages, logs, etc and they are contained in a very small and beautiful package.
