• Combined biobased and biodegradable properties offer a perfect balance of beginning of life and end of life sustainability benefits. • Composed of at least 69% biobased materials, including a polypropylene cover made with 25% plant-based renewable material. • A USDA Certified Biobased Product. • Cover is also formulated to biodegrade in a microbial landfill within five years, versus the hundreds of years it might take normal plastic. • PVC-free, acid-free and archival-safe. • Ring assembly is mounted on the back cover to reduce wear on paper and is easy to remove for hassle-free recycling. • Clear overlay on front, back and spine for easy customization. • A portion of proceeds from each binder purchased is donated to American Forest to help plant a minimum of 7,500 trees annually. • ASTM testing indicates this product will biodegrade in under five years when buried in an anaerobic landfill. Because of the wide variation in landfill systems, actual time may vary. • Biobase and Biodegradability tested using ASTM D-6866 and ASTM D-5511 standards.
