Officer Notebook, 96 X 148 Mm Black, Modestone

The best ideas may be born under unexpected circumstances. The weather-resistant Modestone notebook is made in Finland and you can even write in it under water! The idea of a waterproof notebook occurred to the developer of Modestone notebooks, Kalle Kinnunen, while he was in the army.

Which material could be used to produce the notebook? The best alternative turned out to be rock paper produced as a by-product from a limestone mine. A Modestone notebook withstands water and grease, it does not tear, pests do not consume it, it is easy to use, and there is never any concern over paper cuts. If a pen is unavailable, you can even write in it with a key. This notebook is excellent for use in demanding conditions, e.g. a wilderness trek or when boating. The manufacturing process for rock paper is much more environmentally friendly than that of ordinary paper. When one metric tonne of rock paper is produced instead of normal paper, 20 trees are spared from felling and over 28,000 litres of waste water are saved, as well as 107 kilograms of emissions from the air. This ecological product born from practical need is indeed the best kind of Finnish innovation.
