"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."

back to How Naked Binder can help

Naked Binder was formed to offer a sustainable, well designed and better alternative to vinyl binders.  Our pledge is to work to eliminate PVCs coming into our buildings through other products, other sources. We have no PCV in our binders or our packaging.

If you are not convinced that it is a good idea to eliminate PVCs from your company, look at the companies doing it already.  We went to the Campaign for Safe and Healthy Consumer Products for more information.  They list the health dangers, companies who have pledged to not use PVCs and find alternatives, Safe back to school supplies, and a place for you, too, to pledge to eliminate PVCs from your company.

And this list is only from one organization, hundreds and thousands more are recognizing the dangers of PVCs to their workforce, the environment and their constomers.  Many companies are doing this quietly, because it makes sense and there are alternatives.
