What makes a calendar plastic-free?

A plastic-free calendar has no plastic in the product or its packaging. That means no plastic shrink wrap, no plastic spiral binding, and no plastic stand. Packaging uses paper or cardboard instead, binding uses metal wire where needed, and desk calendar stands are made from thick cardboard. The calendar content itself is identical to the standard version of the same title.

Are plastic-free calendars the same quality as regular ones?

Yes. The paper stock, print quality, and grid layouts are identical to the standard versions. The only difference is the packaging and binding materials. Plastic-free does not mean lower quality; it just means the materials used can be recycled rather than going to landfill.

Can I recycle a plastic-free calendar when the year ends?

Yes. Paper pages and cardboard components are accepted by most curbside recycling programs. If your calendar has a metal spiral binding, remove it first and check whether your local program accepts scrap metal. Cardboard stands and paper covers can go straight into your paper and cardboard recycling.

Do plastic-free calendars cost more?

Generally no. Plastic-free versions are priced comparably to standard editions. You are paying for the same calendar with different packaging materials, not a premium product.
