Naked Binders provided me with a selection of product, as shown below, to facilitate my review.  As always, all opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

You might think that eco-friendly binders would be hard to find.  They certainly aren’t just popping up everywhere, but these Naked Binders are pretty great!  Unlike the more common plastic binders (which stink like you’d expect of something off-gassing nasty chemicals we probably shouldn’t be inhaling), these are made from post consumer waste and they’re more of a sturdy “board,” without the vinyl.

You might think they’d be kind of flimsy, but they’re not; they’re quite sturdy.  I love this “unbleached paper” color, too!  It has such a simply natural aesthetic when left plain.  Or it serves as a “blank slate” for however you want to decorate it.  There is also a new “project binder” that comes in several colors (like the blue one you see above).  It’s “paper-wrapped,” but it just looks like canvas.

The binders come in several sizes.  There’s the regular size binder.  It comes with a round (as shown above) or square spine, and in several different ring options.  There’s a half-size “notebook binder” that’s a great size for a personal planner or other items needing a smaller page size.  And there’s the project binder I mentioned – it’s a standard size and comes in four colors.

Accessories are also available.  There are labels; there are tabbed dividers; and there are three different styles of folders/pockets.

These are the “binder pouch” style.  They have slits in them to accommodate business cards and/or CD’s.

I’m very pleased with these and can imagine a plethora of uses.  The only hard part is deciding which uses to put them to first!
