WELCOME TO THE LYRECO GOODNESS RESOURCE HUB
The Lyreco Goodness Resource Hub has been created to support our education customers by providing free, engaging, sustainability-focused resources for their students. Each activity explores key themes such as climate change, biodiversity, diversity and inclusion, and waste reduction.
All resources are designed to complement the UK curriculum, particularly for Key Stage 2 and 3 students (ages 7–14).
The collection includes both short and long activities to suit different timeframes.
- Short activities take around 30 minutes to complete and feature individual activity sheets suitable for use in or out of the classroom.
- Longer activities are designed to be completed over several hours or a full day, often through group work and collaborative learning.
OneGreenThing
Many of the free resources available here were created in partnership with OneGreenThing, an environmental non-profit that transforms eco-anxiety into positive action through small, joyful daily habits.
Lyreco UK & Ireland is proud to partner with OneGreenThing as part of our Lyreco Goodness programme, which focuses on doing the right thing for people, the planet and our communities. Together, we aim to help young people take meaningful steps towards sustainability while supporting their wellbeing.
Founded by author and climate leader Heather White, OneGreenThing empowers individuals to take one simple action each day to help the environment and boost mental health. These everyday actions build confidence, inspire others and create lasting cultural change.
In June 2025, we launched the Lyreco Goodness Service Superpower Assessment in partnership with OneGreenThing. This free tool helps you discover your personal “Sustainable Superpower” and provides a 7-day action plan to get started. For this Resource Hub, a Student Assessment is also now available to help young people discover their Sustainable Superpower and take meaningful action for a greener future.

SUPPORTING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ECO HEROES
Through the Lyreco Supplier Support Programme (SSP), we collaborate with social enterprises and small businesses that create positive change for people and the planet. The programme helps these organisations grow their reach and impact by connecting them with Lyreco customers who share the same values.
One of the inspiring organisations supported through the SSP is It’s Our Planet Too, a social enterprise dedicated to educating and empowering children to care for the environment. They create engaging, eco-education resources that combine learning with practical action.
Their Tool Kits for Eco Heroes range features themed activity boxes designed to provide hours of engaging, sustainability-focused learning and creativity. Each kit encourages children to explore key environmental topics such as climate change, conservation and protecting wildlife, while developing curiosity and responsibility for the planet.
Supplier Support Partners
The Resource Hub has also been primarily supported by two of our valued suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability and positive environmental change.
Rubbermaid Commercial Products
Rubbermaid Commercial Products is dedicated to developing innovative products and solutions that reduce environmental impact. Their focus is on creating durable, long-lasting products that help customers lower waste and operate more sustainably.
Sylvamo
Sylvamo, the world’s paper company, transforms renewable resources into paper used for education, communication and entertainment. Their 2030 sustainability goals focus on maintaining sustainable forests, supporting thriving communities and ensuring responsible operations.
REY® Paper, a Sylvamo brand, is committed to responsible paper production. All fibres are sourced from responsibly managed forests, and every product is FSC® or PEFC certified. The Saillat mill operates with 85% energy self-sufficiency from renewable biomass, supporting biodiversity and local communities.

These resources have also been made possible with the support from our Lyreco Goodness Community supplier members.
