A5 lemongrass hardbound notebook by The Urban Nordic is a sustainable, premium and practical notebook designed for everyday writing, office notes, journaling, planning, study and thoughtful gifting. Made with a lemongrass paper cover and 160 ruled FSC Certified pages, this notebook combines daily usefulness with a strong natural material story.
The cover is made using lemongrass paper, created from fibrous lemongrass residue that remains after lemongrass oil extraction. Lemongrass is widely used for its essential oil, which is valued in fragrance, wellness, personal care and aromatherapy applications. However, the oil is only a small part of the plant. In one reported extraction example, lemongrass essential oil yield was around 0.2%. This means that after the oil is extracted, a large quantity of plant fibre still remains.
Instead of treating this leftover fibre only as waste, it can be cleaned, processed and converted into pulp for paper-based applications. This gives the material a second life. The result is a notebook cover with a natural texture, earthy appearance and meaningful story. It transforms an agricultural by-product into something useful, beautiful and practical.
Lemongrass fibre has also been studied for its suitability in papermaking because of its fibre characteristics. Like many plant-based fibres, lemongrass contains cellulose, the important structural component that helps form paper. When processed into paper, the fibres create a cover that feels natural and different from ordinary paper covers. Each notebook carries a subtle organic look, making it ideal for people and brands who want stationery with character.
This notebook comes in a practical A5 size, giving enough space for comfortable writing while remaining easy to carry. It fits well into office bags, backpacks, laptop sleeves, college bags and travel bags. Whether used at work, in meetings, at home, during travel or in classrooms, the A5 format offers the right balance between portability and writing comfort.
This is a hardbound notebook, giving it a sturdy, premium and long-lasting feel. The hardbound construction helps protect the inner pages and gives the notebook a more refined appearance. It is especially suitable for professional use, executive gifting, branded merchandise, corporate stationery and daily writing.
Inside, the notebook has 160 ruled pages made from 80 GSM FSC Certified paper. The ruled format is ideal for neat note-taking, meeting notes, to-do lists, study notes, daily planning, journaling, brainstorming and general writing. The 80 GSM paper offers a smooth and reliable writing experience for regular use with pencils, ball pens and most gel pens.
The FSC Certified inner paper adds further credibility to the notebook’s sustainability story. It supports the use of responsibly sourced forest-based paper for the inside pages, while the lemongrass paper cover adds a distinctive agricultural waste-based material element to the product. Together, these details make the notebook a more conscious alternative to regular notebooks.
