Up until 11:04 last night, we were in a dialogue with a certain group about sponsoring their initiative. They do cool work, helping teens understand and eliminate the toxic surroundings in their lives. We care a lot about this, given what we do (the replacement of toxic vinyl binders with the responsible ReBinder ).
The conversation broke down when it came to reciprocation for the sponsorship ...{ 6 comments }
Ok. Fine. We admit it. A few of us are University of Washington Husky Fans. This came across our email the other day and we had to share it.
Who knows how this season will turn out, but at the time of writing this, the Dawgs are 4-1 after having just beaten a good Utah team on the road. Keith Price played with two sprained knees, a sprained ankle and a big smile. Love that dude. So a ...{ 3 comments }
Wow. That was fun.
A few nights ago, we attended the Seattle Business Magazine Green 50 Awards event. ReBinder had been nominated in the Reuse category and made the top 50. Wednesday, Sept 21st was the event where they chose a winner in each category.
One thing that stood out to us was how each company nominated was not a green business, they were simply a business who's value return ...{ 0 comments }
Guilt is not sustainable...not as a marketing technique, a state of being or a political platform.
In the early days of environmental awareness and corporate responsibility there were leaders. These were folks with vision and the voice to be heard. While we cannot speak to the integrity of their motives, we can acknowledge them for creating awareness and demand for evolving practice and policy ...{ 6 comments }
Congrats to Seventh Generation, the maker of awesome cleaning products and new CEO John Replogle (former CEO at Burt's Bees). We at ReBinder look forward to seeing their products on more shelves, giving even more people the chance to make the choice to buy responsible, as opposed to the often-toxic alternatives.
On the facebook comment thread about the announcement, many people are concerned ...{ 0 comments }
NWJobs is accepting nominations and votes for what company is the most "Green Collar" in our neck of the woods, meaning that their primary business contributes significantly to the preservation or restoration of the environment.
Hey -- that's us! Can you give us a vote? Totally shameless...we know.
Vote for us, or your other favorite green companies!
Voting ends October 23rd, 2010. ...{ 0 comments }
Hi all,
We're very pleased about the below and thought we should share. It's really an important moment for those that make responsible products. There's a quote in from David which points out how this nomination proves that responsible products CAN thrive in the mainstream. Thanks to all of our customers past, present and future. There's a lot more where this came from and we're ...{ 1 comment }
We hope the days of Styrofoam packaging are behind us and we can look to industry leaders like Dell who care about their packaging. Last year, Dell replaced Styrofoam and plastic packaging that cushioned their laptops with molded pulp fiber. This year, they have added an FSC Certified Bamboo material that is fully compostable. Dell set some aggressive packaging goals in 2008 to reduce the ...{ 0 comments }
We have written before on how confusing labels can be to the every day shopper. There's no regulation use or misuse of the words "green", "sustainable", "eco", "earth-friendly" ... and the list goes on. Or how about third party labels and certifications ( FSC Certified , GMO Free, Fair-Trade, Bird Safe)? Two free apps now available through iTunes can help you navigate through the confusion ...{ 0 comments }
We get called about 10-20 times a week from various shows who want us to sponsor them, buy a booth or otherwise do what is considered by all accounts an ad-spend. Great - we're always up for hearing about ways to improve our business and those of our customers'...and we're willing to invest in success.
In fact, the way we have success is to have real dialogue with our customers and those ...{ 1 comment }
