School supplies shouldn't result in permanent pollution.

Vinyl binders are made of permanently affixed mixed-materials and therefore are not recycled in any meaningful capacity and never will be. Binder recycling schemes exist to encourage the continued guilt-free purchase of more vinyl binders, meanwhile, tens of thousands of tons of these binders end up as landfill every year.

Landfill-bound Nylon Zipper Pouches, Plastic Pencil Boxes, Vinyl Cases. We've seen stacks of these piled up at the end of the school year - marked with a name or janked up from pen explosions. (It happens). What was used for a season or two, will now exist on the planet for time as we know it.

The difference between our Pencil Tins and a Plastic or Nylon Pencil Case is ours can go right in recycling with your aluminum cans.

Aluminum Recycling:
+ Pencil Tin (can be recycled with cans)

Compost:
+ Wool Liner
+ Pencil shavings

Paper Recycling:
+ Replaceable Binder Cover
+ Folders
+ Cardboard Packaging
+ Wax Highlighter paper

Scrap Metal:
+ Metal Sharpener, 2 extra blades
+ Binder Mechanisms (if you don't plan to recover your binder).

How-to-Binder in reverse:
+ Lay binder open/flat
+ Un-screw 3-ring mechanisms
+ Flip cover over (logo facing up)
+ Push down to pop posts out from binder cover
+ Place binder cover in paper/cardboard recycling
+ Keep all binder hardware for new replacement cover

Wisdom Supply Co. was founded by two plastic pollution activists stunned into action by the staggering waste created every year from the plastic, vinyl, and spiral-bound school supplies the students were instructed to purchase.

The best time to help future adults unlearn wasteful habits was decades and billions of tons ago. The next best time is now.
