The Post-it® Z-Notes Natural Dispenser was designed with sustainability and life-cycle management in mind. It is constructed with natural raw materials only—just glass and 100 percent recycled cork, no plastics. Plus, while most dispensers on the market have a minimum of five pieces, this product has only two, making it very easy to assemble, disassemble and recycle.
