Our company has tons of old ring binders, office files and lever arch files that until recently we simply trew away. One of our eam then got some labels that fit perfectly onto the spine from and online stationer http://www.officeprofiles.com
we can not reuse them by just getting new labels.

I would think that the “three-ring” portion (if we’re talking three-ring binders) could go on the wall and make a nice place to hang stuff with hooks. Coats, kitchen utensils, keys, stuff like that. If the locking mechanism is no longer strong enough, you could probably do a wire wrapping to reinforce it.

We have launched the worlds first stationery recycling programme for ring binders and lever arch files, whereby we separate the component materials and re-use or recycle each of them, check out our website

I saw some designer solution for the metal meccanism that binds the sheet down; if you have extra of those, those will do an awesome towel hang for bathroom, kitchen etc.

I think the three components were the metal, the cardboard, and the plastic sleeve that the cardboard is often wrapped in. I have reused mine a lot in various classes and for things like holding recipes and magazine articles. If they’re in really bad shape I recycle the cardboard and metal and then throw the plastic in the trash.

Are we talking about binders? Give them to schools, or use them for scrapbooking or something.

You can use a part of the binder as a hanger for your towel.
