Businesses and consumers can now use more eco-friendly stationery thanks to the launch of Ecobind\u00ae. This coloured eco-friendly coating is made from the so-called \u2018green polymer\u2019, which means it is completely derived from natural resources, compostable and CO2<\/sub> neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecobind\u00ae coating for bookbinding wire is the ideal complement to environmentally sound stationery, such as
– exercise notebooks
– reports and copies bound at copy centres
– books, manuals, diaries and calendars bound by trade binders<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bekaert has more than 30 years of experience in the production of coated book binding wires, and continually invests in research and development to enhance the composition of its products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zero environmental impact coating<\/strong>
With Ecobind\u00ae Bekaert has created a coating for book binding wire with the same properties as regular polymer coating. It is available in white, black, green and blue – other colours are available upon request. These plant-based coatings differ from petro-polymers as they completely decompose when they are left in an industrial composting environment. Ecobind\u00ae does not split into smaller pieces like similar products tend to do so \u2013 instead it disintegrates in water and carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>). The amount of CO2<\/sub> emitted when decomposing green polymers is the same amount as that absorbed by the plant from which the raw product was originally derived, making it part of a closed natural cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcelo Xavier, Bekaert\u2019s global segment manager for book binding wires, comments: \u201cEcobind\u00ae is the result of years of research and development at Bekaert\u2019s technology centres. In times when we all need to make a big effort to save our world\u2019s natural resources, innovations like these are particularly welcome.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBekaert has a global reputation for producing top-quality products. It\u2019s very rewarding to come up with a renewable, environmentally friendly alternative to polymers derived from petrochemical products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecobind\u00ae is a valuable addition to Bekaert\u2019s wide range of coated book binding wires, which includes Metalobind\u00ae, Nylobind\u00ae, Tinobind\u00ae and Bekaert glow-in-the-dark book binding wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
