PVC Products:

With better durability and longevity, our products last longer than the industry-dominating inexpensive vinyl binders and folders on the market, which are meant (and priced) to be thrown away when they start to deteriorate. Many of these vinyl products are so flimsily constructed that they are often damaged before they make it off the shelves.

 

We believe this is a clear example of planned obsolescence, where the consumer is encouraged to dispose of the product frequently and “buy new,” a dangerous trend particularly when the items are produced with toxic PVC.

VLB Environmental Policy:

 

VLB Marketing is committed to promoting sustainability and improving our environmental performance by minimizing the adverse environmental impact of our products and business activities. As an early advocate of PVC-free office and school supply products, we strive to continue to lead the industry with our environmental practices as they relate not only to the design, manufacture and distribution of our existing produces, but also in the ongoing development of future product lines.

We are committed to preventing pollution in our day-to-day business operations, and effectively managing our environmental impacts through our relationships with like-minded customers, suppliers, and other affiliates. We will strive to sustain this leadership role by educating and training our employees in environmental issues and the environmental impact of their activities and to communicate our sustainability objectives to our customers, suppliers, and other external stakeholders.
