"I am currently a doctorate student, and I LOVE your binders. I carry them to school and they have already lasted almost a year. I am constantly questioned about them, and actually made a class announcement when you had your earth day special."

A Close Look at Your Recycled Eco Binder
January 22, 2010
Written By: Ken

If you want to know what goes into your 3-ring binder, you need to take a close look. A really close look.

Naked Binder is using a 100% post consumer waste board in their 3-ring binders.  This board is made up of curbside waste, office waste and other papers picked up in the recycling truck.  There is no virgin fiber in this board, and it is FSC certified.

First take a look at the binders. The board is clean gray, and unbleached. It has a richness in it that is not identifiable at first glance.

So we should look closer:

we start to see so specks of color and the texture of the board which gives it a nice feel in the hand.  The board is clean enough for the 100% recycled symbol to be sharp and read even at 5/8" of an inch.

Notice the fibers and the color specks.  Those overlapping fibers add strength to the board- holding together so that we can flex the board 250,000 times and it won't fail.  The color adds a richness that enhances the board even when you are standing farther away - subtle but very real.

The board we use in the Naked Binder not only enhances the sustainability of binder through being 100% post consumer waste, but adds a beauty and strength to our binders. 

If you want a truly sustainable 3-ring binder, recycled and recyclable and non toxic, this is the binder for you.
