Sustainable Binders for the Smaller Office
July 29, 2010
Written By: Ken

A few blogs ago we discussed binder economics for large companies.  It got crazy fast where trying to recycle a vinyl binder could add huge ammounts to the cost of using a binder.

For smaller offices this equation is somewhat different. Lets start with a few assumptions: You office is small and not doing as well it was a few years ago.  The urge among the people who work there is to be as eco friendly as possible without blowing the bottom line.

First off, as an office working to be greener, congratulations for being small.  Small can be incredibly nimble and is a much easier office to move toward better practices.  This may be the largest roadblock on the way to sustainable working.

Money is an issue.  To pretend that it is not is basically denying the 900 gorilla in the room.

So, how can using more sustainable 3-ring binders help?

Durability means using less. 

A Naked Binder lasts much longer. We have gotten notes from parents who said this is the first binder their high schooler didn't break. We tested them to 250,000 flexes without failure. If you can cut back on purchasing, you are buying less.

This is great if the cost is the same.  Well, Naked Binders are priced competatively with vinyl - not the really cheap ones, but the binders you might might not be embarrased to show a client. In many cases, our binders are cheaper.

On top of this you have a binder that is 100% recyclable, cutting your waste stream, looks better which makes you hapier when using the binder, impresses clients and does good for the planet.

Win win win.  Sustainable and saving money.
