FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Des Moines, Iowa, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 17, 2012 -- Buying sustainable green office supplies doesn't have to be confusing or a choice between one ugly thing or an uglier thing. Paying attention to end of life issues, recyclability, longevity as well as the aesthetics will get you office supplies that look good, work well without skimping on sustainability.

No matter what green office supplies you end up with, there are a few questions to ask yourself.

Finding the Best Green Office Supplies for Your Office

Is it recyclable? If not then it is not a great fit for a green office. End of life issues should be the first thing you look at. What will we do with this in 5 years? Don't push headaches down the line. This eliminates all vinyl binders since no municipal waste systems will accept vinyl. It is just too toxic for them.

Is it made from recycled materials? Most green office supplies contain recycled content. Recycled paper or plastic uses significantly less water, energy and generates less air pollution that making new products. It also acts to preserve forests, which are not only lovely to hike in but clean the air, prevent erosion and conserve water.

Will it last? A 3-ring binder that falls apart or is only good for one meeting is not very sustainable. We all know vinyl binders will lose their covers in a few months, but are there alternatives that last? On a 3-ring binder the weak points are the hinges. They need to open the binder easily, but stay whole so it will close again. Corrugates may be easily recycled, but are not built to last. Look for sturdy board that flexed in one piece so there are no weak points.

Does it look good? Wanting your office supplies to look good is not shallow - they present your work to clients and represent your image. Doing great work and presenting it poorly is not helping get your point across. In your office, a bit of color and nice materials just makes it a nicer place to spend over a third of your day.

Naked Binder has spent a lot of time developing green, recycled office supplies that work well, last forever, are 100% recyclable and look great. We make our 3-ring binders and pocket folders from FSC certified 100% post consumer waste board. We sent the Naked Binder, a bare board binder, to a lab to be flexed 250,000 times and it still worked - that is over 30 years of use if you use it 20 times a day.

Naked Binder also manufactures all of our products in the United States decreasing the carbon footprint of your office supplies, ensuring quality control and making jobs close to home.

For looks, we have 130 binder options to match your mood, office or presentation. Five styles, nine colors, two spine styles and 4 ring sizes - we have what you need.
