Recycled office stationery

Reduce - Reuse - Recycle. Recycled office supplies are gaining in popularity, not just because of concerns about climate change and deforestation, but also because we are becoming ever more conscientious about waste in general. We already have a large section covering recycled paper products, recycled files and folders and recycled pens and we plan to give this more prominence as demand allows.

StationEry or stationAry?

It's StationEry! Stationery is what stationers like Paperstone sell. StationAry means 'still', 'not moving.' For all you amateur etymologists out there, both 'stationery' and 'stationary' are derived from the same Latin root, stationarius, meaning a fixed location. In the Middle Ages, a 'station' referred to a tradesman plying his or her wares at a fixed location, as opposed to an itinerant seller. Since sellers who set up shop outside universities - selling books, paper, writing implements, etc - were one of the few traders at this time who weren't itinerant and who sold from a fixed 'station', they became known as 'stationers' and the stuff they sold as 'stationery'.
