It's quite simple actually! With Bambook you can write in the same way you used to, without paper waste. We'll explain how it works in 5 easy steps: 

Step 1: Write on the page with the special Bambook marker that comes for free with each notebook. 
Step 2: 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… and the ink is dry already! You don’t have to worry about smudging or accidentally erasing parts of the text.
Step 3: You can choose to digitize your notes with the free Bambook scanning app.
Step 4: Have you saved your notes or don't need them anymore? Erase the ink with a slightly damp cloth.
Step 5: Use the page over and over again! 

With an erasable notebook you make a positive impact on the environment, your wallet and you contribute to the fight against single-use products, paper waste and deforestation. We've listed the main benefits for you:

• You retain the benefits of writing by hand, but without wasting tons of paper.
• Win win! You contribute to a more sustainable world, without sacrificing ease of use
• In addition to the piles of paper you save, you also plant a tree with your purchase. Extra impact!
• You save money: an erasable notebook lasts for years so you don't have to buy a new notebook every month
• You work more efficiently
• You start every day with a clean slate. No distractions!
• Erasing your to-do's instead of crossing them out gives a wonderfully tidy feeling.
• You will never lose your notes again
• No more guilt about writing too much

Good question! We'd rather see you happy with an erasable notebook that suits you than keep writing on single-use paper. That is why we are happy to explain to you what makes Bambook unique compared to other providers. Ultimately, you know best what works for you.

• Bambook has its own OCR Scanner app that allows you to digitise notes made in your Bambook notebook. All Bambook notebooks have a black border around the pages so it's recognised by the app.
• Bambook is produced in the Netherlands in a sheltered workshop by people who find themselves distanced from the labour market. By supporting Bambook, you create more job opportunities for these people.
• You can compose the pages of your erasable Bambook notebook yourself using our configurator so that it fits perfectly with your personal style of working.
• Bambook offers an erasable whiteboard notebook with a nice sturdy cover made of bamboo, which gives it a luxurious look. This also makes it less prone to wear and tear so it lasts a long time and it doesn't get damaged from putting it in and outside of your bag.
• The corners of the pages and cover have been rounded off. This way you don't get dog ears and the pages are less prone to wrinkling.
• With Bambook you not only write more sustainably, but also smarter. We have developed several notebooks to help you work even more productively! Think of the Do-book for productivity, the UX/UI Designbook and the Deskbook for the ideal mix between working online and offline. And there's more to come!
• For every notebook sold, Bambook plants a tree. We've already planted over 1.6 million - and we're nowhere near finished.

This varies from user to user and depends on the intensity of use. There are Bambooks that already last 5 years. Of course, these have been treated with care so the lifespan is longer.

With normal use, the pages stay smooth and easy to write on without losing quality. One Bambook can replace many traditional paper notebooks. Use the Bambook marker, wipe the pages with a slightly damp cloth and store your notebook properly to get the most out of it. 

From the moment you start reusing your Bambook, you can make great strides in sustainability. This prevents the further (unnecessary) production/recycling of paper. Looking further, it is also important to take into account the fact that both making new paper and recycling it consume a lot of water and energy. Recycling is a great step in the right direction, but that does not alter the fact that these processes also have a significant impact on the environment. We would like to prevent this by reusing products instead of using single-use products.
