The Seawhite CupCycling Eco Starter Sketchbook is an ideal choice for environmentally conscious artists and students looking for a high-quality, sustainable surface for mixed media work. Its core benefit lies in the 140gsm cartridge paper made from 80% recycled coffee cups, which offers impressive wet strength for watercolour and sketching; however, users should note that as a 40-page stapled book, it is designed for lighter travel-focused work rather than long-term intensive archival projects.

Yes, the cartridge paper is both acid-free and chlorine-free to ensure your artwork remains vibrant.
While the paper has wet strength, it is not a heavy-weight watercolour block. For best results, use light washes.
Yes, the paper is made from 80% recycled coffee cups.
The Seawhite CupCycling Eco Starter Sketchbook is designed and made in the UK.
Yes, the product is vegan-friendly and contains no animal-derived materials.
Use minimal water and apply washes in thin layers, or use artist tape to secure the edges of the paper to a board while working.
Always perform a test swatch on the back page, as some alcohol-based markers may bleed through 140gsm paper.
Because the sketchbook is stapled, it is ready to use immediately upon arrival. To ensure the longevity of your work and the sketchbook itself, store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. When using water-based media, allow the page to dry completely before closing the book to prevent the pages from sticking together. If you plan to carry the book in a bag, consider using a separate sleeve to prevent the edges of the 40 pages from dog-earing or fraying during transit. Avoid using heavy masking tape directly on the page surface, as the recycled nature of the paper may be more sensitive to aggressive adhesives.
