Rebook
Upcycled notebooks made from upcycled paper waste
Rebook is an upcycled stationery product family, developed in collaboration of Viki Nagy and S Mate Olah since 2018. The aim of their project is giving a second life to posters and other printed materials in the form of sketchbooks. During the regular recycling process, chemicals and water are used to remove the ink and coatings from the paper. By upcycling printed media, giving them a new shape and function without recycling the papers, a new product can be manufactured with lower environmental impact. Their intention is to show a simple solution for repurposing used materials.
