Notely
Notely helps you feel good about getting organised, taking notes and capturing your memories. Every note you take brings us one step closer to replanting the planet. With your help, Notely plan to replant 100,000 trees across QLD & NSW by 2025.
Our commitment
We believe you should be able to take notes and journal your life without impacting the world’s forests. Our Mission is to Replant The Planet by re-using paper that has already been produced, planting new trees to replace what has already been taken, and protect the natural splendour of Australia’s native rainforests. With your help, we plan to replant 100,000 trees by 2025. As one of Australia’s first sustainable notebook and journal brands, we have helped over ten thousand people get organised and get the most out of their day, without having to cut down trees to make virgin tree pulp. Start each day with clarity and mindfulness, safe in the knowledge that all our products use post-consumer and commercial waste, including FSC-certified recycled paper and card stock made from discarded coffee cups! When you look at your desk and see Notely products, you know there are more trees in the world, not less. So take notes, plan your day and journal like a wild thing!
Our Sustainability Framework
What is your company doing to reduce your emissions or combat key environmental issues (e.g. waste (packaging, end of life product strategy or recycling), biodiversity, land use, water, chemical use, energy use, and natural resource use etc.)?
For most of the last 50 years 'the paperless office' has been a common phrase in every workplace. Yet there is something intrinsically beautiful, emotional and memorable that keeps drawing us all back to taking notes, journaling and capturing our thoughts and memories with pen & paper. At Notely, we do not believe that should mean cutting down more trees or damaging natural habitats. Our Mission is to Replant The Planet by re-using paper that has already been produced, planting new trees to replace what has already been taken, and protect the natural splendour of Australia’s native rainforests. That's why we only use post-consumer FSC-Certified recycled paper and recycled coffee-cup card stock, and replant a native tree with every order. To minimize our shipping footprint, all our paper and card stock is made and printed here in Australia. We have also minimised our packaging, and made it plastic-free. From our recycled paper bands and tags to our 100% compostable postage bags, we’re passionate about keeping the Notely experience entirely plastic-free. All our orders are dispatched using carbon-neutral delivery via Sendle or Australia Post.

Our notebooks, journals, and wall planners are made entirely from 100% recycled or FSC-certified papers.

Our unique Cup Notes range is made from recycled coffee cups. Each set saves 1 takeaway coffee cup from landfill!

Our beautiful wall-planner hangers are lovingly hand-made from reclaimed timbers right here in Australia.

We partner with local Brisbane businesses to print, bind and produce our products. They are FSC-certified printers and local craftspeople to ensure our product is made in an ethical and sustainable way.
How does your company give back to the community (e.g. financial donations, volunteering, partnerships etc.)?
Notely has partnered with 3 charities in the Australian planting space to help Replant the Planet. Every order will help us replant another tree through our partners at Reforest Now and One Tree Planted. Plus, when you place your third order with Notely, you can breathe easier knowing your purchase has funded the protection of 2 square meters of native rainforest with Rainforest Rescue. So far, we’ve contributed to restoring 400sqm of Queensland rainforest.
