EcoBook: the Whiteboard in school notebook format

The concept is the same as a whiteboard of those who find themselves in schools: write as many times as you want and delete as many times as you want. However, this is not a picture, but rather of the EcoBook, a notebook and reusable eco-made from the same material of the school boards, which allows the re-use of leaves without the stain or damage.

Behind the EcoBook are, two young men of Viseu, who created the concept this year when they were still in the last year of secondary education. The idea arose from the frustration of having damaged leaves by use of rubber or the impossibility of erasing ink stains. And thus arose the EcoBook, which embodies the advantages of the pencil, the possibility to erase and re-write, but without leaving marks, together with the pen, allowing for greater smoothness in the writing process.

The project started in June this year, through a campaign of crowdfunding, during just over a month, has raised about € 2,300, 85% more than young people needed to start the project. With this money the company could create and produce stock.

"The acceptance of the product has surpassed very positively our expectations. In less than two months we can sell to Brazilian companies, a multinational, hearing health for public institutions and others, "says Peter Lee. "It's hard and we get many sleepless nights, but we see what we have achieved already so new it makes you wake up every morning with a smile on her face and a huge willingness to at least try to change the habits of the Portuguese and, who knows, in the world," he adds.

The EcoBook is available in formats A4 and A5 costing €8,99 and €6,99, respectively, and are accompanied by a black marker. The ecological notebook can be purchased in online shop of the EcoBook.
