3m, the makers of Post-It Notes, is a very conscientious company who has done real-life trials on theability to recycle one of their most widely-known products, the Post-It Note.
The Post-It Note, commonly referred to with the genericized term, "sticky note", was invented by accident.
Post-It Notes are "small pieces of paper with a re-adherable strip of glue on its back, made for temporarily attaching notes to documents and other surfaces. A unique low-tack pressure-sensitive adhesive allows the notes to be easily attached, removed, and even re-posted elsewhere without leaving residue. Originally small yellow squares, Post-it notes and related products are now available in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes."
