A CONVERSATION STARTER: Anyone who sees one of these calendars will be so intrigued with their sustainable story.
A POSITIVE REMINDER: Every time you look at a tree-free calendar you will be reminded of the positive impact your choice has made on the environment.
LEMONGRASS PAPER: Lemongrass paper is made after the extraction process of oils from the lemongrass plant. Instead of discarding the grass, it is steamed and made into sheets of paper.
COTTON PAPER: Cotton offcuts from the clothing manufacturing industry usually end up in landfills. But that's a real waste as cotton contains high cellulose that can be turned into high quality, chemical-free paper. So instead we use cotton paper made with the fashion waste and turn it into beautiful calendars!
A fresh start for 2022!
Plan positive changes this New year with an upcycled tree-free calendar!
Our New lemongrass & cotton paper calendars are the perfect solution.
They sit on your desktop, kitchen top or any reception room table showcasing a beautiful positive reminder of sustainable change.
Tree- free calendar details
Lemongrass Paper: Lemongrass is a perennial plant and it is mostly use for oil extraction. After that, the residual grass is a by-product that is often discarded, but if steamed and turned into a pulp, it can be transformed into beautiful and elegant paper.
Cotton paper: Cotton offcuts are usually the waste generated by clothing manufacturing. It is estimated that nearly 15% of cotton is usually wasted before our clothes even start their journey to reach our wardrobes. But cotton is incredibly rich in cellulose and it's perfect to be used to make paper, which is a great way to play an important part in fighting fashion pollution. Cards made from cotton paper are very elegant and beautiful to the touch.
Just place it on top of any surface and take each card away as the months pass. You can write on them just like any normal calendar.

First off, thank you for visiting our website! We starting our own journey as a zero-waste family with a clear goal in mind to make meaningful changes in our habits and lifestyle; our mantra has always been “have less impact on the planet, create less waste, and become better, more sustainable consumers”.
In our quest to swap plastic or disposable products with durable, plastic-free and less wasteful alternatives, we found there were companies we felt we could trust completely. These companies are now part of the EarthBits family and we are very proud to collaborate with them and showcase their products on this site!
On the other hand, we also found there were a lot of other products that were advertised as “eco-friendly” but didn’t seem to us as sustainable or ethical as we wanted them to be. With that in mind, we decided to launch our own brand of products, sourced from small, often family-run suppliers we can fully trust.
All our products have a story to tell, and they have been made with our beautiful Earth in mind! I hope you will love them as much as we do!
