ECU’s Student Services, The Stationery Project partner on sustainable stationery

Emily Carr University of Art + Design’s Student Services and The Stationery Project have partnered to develop custom stationery for prospective students while prioritizing sustainability. This stationery is created from wastepaper salvaged from the university’s labs, studios, and galleries at the university. This wastepaper is repurposed into creative stationery in sizes and formats that maximize usability and minimize waste. “Our materials are generated from the work of ECU students, staff and faculty, and because the paper is recouped, you see little glimpses of past projects,” said ECU Designer and Faculty Member Katherine Gillieson. “Our stationery is also made by teams that include students, staff and faculty. So, it’s from the community and it reflects the community, as well as our values.”
