What is reclaimed paper?
Reclaimed paper is perfectly usable yet unused paper rescued from the waste stream before it is thrown away or recycled.
Recycling programs are great and well-intentioned. However, paper recycling is a chemical- and energy-heavy process - it helps reduce our need for virgin wood fiber, which is great, but what if we could delay that process even further? Paper fibers can go through the recycling process roughly 5-7 times before they break down and must be retired. Worse, there’s no way to truly know how many times paper fiber has been recycled until it reaches the pulping stage. Pulping breaks down used paper into pulp by separating the fibers and removing contaminants. During this stage, fibers are subjected to mechanical and/or chemical treatments to create a pulp slurry. Only then do we know the fibers’ quality and strength—if the fibers have degraded significantly, they are unsuitable for further recycling.
By rescuing and reclaiming unused yet perfectly usable paper BEFORE it enters the recycling or waste stream, our impact on the environment and Mother Nature becomes much more impactful. After all, we made the paper in the first place—so we might as well use it to its fullest potential.
Where do you get your paper?
All of our paper comes from a variety of sources across the US. Through relationships and donations from the creative community, architecture firms, the printing industry, schools, and both national and local businesses, we discover and rescue discarded and/or unused paper headed for the waste stream. We curate it, sort it, and turn it into a high-end, creative product through pure creative alchemy. The result is a unique, eco-friendly product designed for creatives, builders, writers, and note-takers that challenge traditional ideas of creation and ideation. Our notebooks, journals, sketchbooks, and paper products are truly one-of-a-kind, featuring a wide variety of high-quality 100% reclaimed paper and stock types. We strongly believe that Resketch can unlock creativity through a sense of discovery and play by providing an unexpected and fluid medium that gently challenges you.
