Rewrite notebooks rescue cotton scraps from landfills
Millions of tons of cotton fabric scraps from the garment industry end up in landfills and burn pits
- 92 million tons of textile waste are produced annually ¹
- 35% of raw materials are discarded during manufacturing ¹

Three t-shirts worth of cotton equals one Rewrite notebook
Each travel-sized Rewrite notebook keeps almost 1 pound of cotton scraps from going to a landfill or burn pit. That's almost 3 tee-shirts worth of cotton per notebook.
Our Process
1. Rescue Cotton Scraps
When cotton is cut to prepare clothing, scraps are usually discarded or burned in heaps outside the factory. Rewrite collects those scraps to reprocess into paper.
2. Pulping & Deckling
Scraps are shredded into pulp that is gathered, cast, pressed and hung for drying.
3. Sorting, Cutting & Binding
Sheets and cover materials are inspected for bumps and stray materials, removed and recycled while quality papers and bindings are assembled into beautiful journals and sketchbooks.
