A great way to reduce your footprint and teach your children the value of going green is to buy school supplies that are eco-friendly.
Hilroy is the leader in recycled school supplies, offering a wide range of eco-chic gear for back to school. This fabulous Canadian company always has the coolest designs and best quality school supplies too.
Both my daughters and myself have been really impressed with Hilroy's 2011 school supply line-up. Here are our thoughts on the items we tried:
The Recycled Fashion Line is my favorite new addition to Hilroy's 2011 School Line-up. These retro inspired designs are so cute and fun, and (best of all) are very earth friendly. We tried a 1.5 inch
binder ,
notebook ,
Pocket and Prong Portfolio and super cute Recycled Fashion
Pencil Case.They are all very well constructed, brightly colored, and are made using recycled materials. The Fashion Pencil case is made with 50% recycled PET and features a large zippered compartment perfect for my girls pens and pencils. We tried the super awesome Owl design, but the Hilroy Fashion line also comes in a bird/daisy design and a butterfly/hearts design and my girls love them all.
We also tried some of the great recycled basics from Hilroy including the
Enviro Plus Recycled Notebook,
Enviro Plus Recycled Refill Paper, a 5 pack of
Enviro Plus Recycled Report Covers, and a
Recycled Exercise Book. These Hilroy products are sure to be on your child's school supply lists and I love being able to find them in eco-friendly options.
For older students, the
Five Star Binder Filer is a great choice. This Great multi-subject zipper binder is very well made and features a four pocket expandable front cover and lots of interior storage. My older daughter absolutely loves zippered binders, and I love that this one has a separate file pocket perfect for homework. It comes in 4 bright colors.
Hilroy also has a super cool line of customizable products that will really bring out the creativity in your child. My 13 year old loved adding color and flair to her
Doodle 1 1/2 zipper binder and two
Doodle Portfolios. The doodle line features black and white modern graphics that can be colored with four (included) markers. Both the Rock Guitar design and the retro butterfly design are very teen friendly.
Finally we tried the beautiful Naturalis
Recycled Notebook from Hilroy. This 15.4cm X 11.3 cm notebook is made from 100 recycled materials, and has a great design. We will be using this handy notebook to keep track of goals and homework times at home, and I know I will love using it. The paper has a beautiful tone and texture to it, and I love the nature themed cover.
Shop: Locally we have found a great selection of
Hilroy products at Zellers and Staples, but they can be found at most stores that sell school supplies across Canada. All Hilroy products are reasonably priced as well- yay!
