ALL ABOUT CANDY LLC Sweetens Back-to-School with Eco-Friendly Stationery

ALL ABOUT CANDY LLC, a Newcastle, Washington-based company (located at 7823 122ND PL SE, 98056-1235, and reachable at 920-586-9305), is making waves this back-to-school season with its commitment to sustainable stationery. Forget boring, plastic-filled school supplies – ALL ABOUT CANDY is bringing a pop of color and a whole lot of green to classrooms and home offices across the US. You might be thinking, “Candy and stationery? What’s the connection?” Well, the name’s a bit of a playful nod to making learning fun. The company was started by a group of parents frustrated with the amount of waste generated by traditional school supplies. They wanted something better - something that wouldn't cost the Earth, literally. And that’s exactly what they’ve created. “We noticed just how much stuff kids go through in a single school year,” explains Sarah Miller, co-founder of ALL ABOUT CANDY LLC. “Pencils get whittled down to nothing, notebooks get filled and tossed, and plastic folders end up in landfills. It adds up fast. We wanted to offer an alternative - high-quality, durable stationery that’s also kind to the planet.” So what does “eco-friendly stationery” from ALL ABOUT CANDY LLC actually look like? It's more than just a buzzword; it's woven into every aspect of their product line. Let's break down the goodies: Recycled Paper Power: ALL ABOUT CANDY's notebooks, notepads, and writing paper are made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper. That means they’re using paper that already existed, preventing the need to chop down more trees. And it’s not that flimsy, low-quality recycled paper either. They’ve sourced a premium grade that feels great to write on and can handle plenty of use. "We wanted to prove that recycled paper doesn't have to feel recycled," adds Miller. They come in a range of sizes and ruling options (lined, unlined, graph) to suit all ages and needs. Plantable Pencils – Yes, Really!: Forget tossing broken pencils. ALL ABOUT CANDY's signature product is their plantable pencils. Each pencil contains a seed capsule at the end. When the pencil gets too short to use, simply plant the stub, and it will grow into herbs, flowers, or vegetables! It’s a fun, educational, and sustainable way to deal with pencil waste. Currently, they offer options for basil, cilantro, wildflower mixes, and even carrots! “The kids love this one,” laughs Miller. “It turns a throwaway item into something beautiful and growing.” Bamboo Bonanza: Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource, meaning it grows incredibly fast and requires minimal resources. ALL ABOUT CANDY uses bamboo in many of their products, including pen and pencil cases, rulers, and even some notebook covers. Bamboo is also naturally antibacterial and incredibly durable. “It’s a win-win,” says Miller. “Strong, sustainable, and looks good too!” Recycled Content Everything Else: From their colorful paper clips to their sturdy folders, ALL ABOUT CANDY prioritizes recycled materials whenever possible. They’ve painstakingly sourced manufacturers who share their commitment to sustainability. "It was a challenge," admits Miller. "Finding high-quality recycled materials at a reasonable price isn't always easy, but it's worth it." They’re consistently looking for new and innovative ways to incorporate recycled content into their product line. Plastic-Free Packaging: ALL ABOUT CANDY is committed to minimizing plastic waste. Their products are packaged in recycled cardboard boxes and paper wrapping, sealed with paper tape. They've eliminated plastic shrink wrap and other unnecessary plastic packaging. "It's the little things that add up," explains Miller. "We wanted to make sure our packaging reflected our commitment to sustainability." More Than Just Stationery: A Company With a Conscience ALL ABOUT CANDY LLC isn’t just about selling eco-friendly stationery. They’re passionate about educating the next generation about sustainability. They actively partner with schools and environmental organizations to promote eco-friendly practices. They also donate a portion of their profits to organizations dedicated to reforestation and environmental conservation. "We want to inspire kids to be more mindful of their impact on the planet," says Miller. "We believe that even small changes can make a big difference."
