Desk Pads

100% Recycled Desk Pad Printing

Our recycled desk pads are printed on 100% recycled, uncoated paper. It has a natural matte feel, writes on nicely, and does the job a desk pad is meant to do: notes, lists, reminders, scribbles, rough plans, and the occasional phone number.

Each pad is glued along one edge and supplied with a sturdy backing board, so it feels proper on a desk.

Printed on 100% recycled paper and offset through our Woodland Trust partnership.

Every order helps capture carbon and plant native UK woodland. Inkwell captures 0.56kg of carbon per tonne of paper used and plants 14m² of native UK woodland for every 10,000 sheets of A4, 100gsm paper printed.

On the ink side, it's worth being honest. Litho inks are often called “vegetable based”, but they usually contain a mix of vegetable oil, mineral oil and pigments. The inks we use are vegan, but we're not going to dress that up as magic compostable fairy dust.

For digital print, we're part of a recycling scheme for used toner cartridges and machine parts, helping keep waste out of landfill and reuse more materials. Our toners are also derived from organic rather than chemical polymers.

All paper waste from production is baled and recycled through an ISO 14001 accredited supplier, with the aim of keeping print and paper waste out of landfill. Other waste is sorted for recycling wherever possible.
