ReBinder’s Recycled Products Are Appealing To Environmentally Friendly Businesses.
Today, Rebinder makes the world’s only FSC Certified line of binders (the ReBinder). In addition to being FSC Certified, the ReBinder is assembled by a local, AbilityOne certified disabled workforce.
The binders, CD sleeves, journals and presentation/event materials are all made from post-consumer recycled materials. Many companies and organisations have standardized on the products for internal use, as well as the products being used as branding tools, for conferences and events around the world. Additionally, designers and graphic artists use the products because many pieces can be customized with Rebinder’s in-house custom printing services using water-based inks.
