"Over all people were surprised about the binders. They couldn’t believe how long they lasted or how sturdy they were. I even told them you put then in the washer to test them. Most of all they loved the product name. But my favorite was a woman who’s son wants to be an artist, she wanted to get him the binders go he could draw all over them and make them his traveling art. When we gave her a sample I thought she would cry she was so happy. It made my day."

ABA Office Climate Challenge
January 14, 2010
Written By: Ken

The ABA (American Bar Association) has a great program called the WasteWise Program.

We all know that Law Firms generate a lot of paper. This results in a large carbon footprint as well as a lot of waste. Their site says. "The life-cycle of one ton of office paper, from production to recycling, results in the release of about nine tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)–equivalent gases, which contribute to global climate change; as well as other air and water pollutants."

They are encouraging Law firms to print double sided, use at least 30% post consumer waste papers, and to recycle waste papers.  

Considering the amount of paper generated in the Legal industry, this could potentially reduce carbon outputs, save a lot of forest and even reduce costs for firms.

Win win win.

Naked Binder would like to suggest one more step.  These same firms use a lot of binders, A LOT of binders.  Traditionally these are vinyl ( what else was there a few years ago?).  By switching to a recycled and recyclable binder, eliminating the toxic vinyl and getting a much stronger longer lasting product, Law Firms could save even more.

On top of saving money and the environment, you will be the envy of all you lawyer friends.  These binders are not only the strongest binders in the world, and the most sustainable binders, but well designed and good looking FSC certified binders.
