They DO !!!!. Don't stretch them. Don't get them wet and store them in a dark box. There you go ! Will last 12 months !
I thought they were designed to be biodegradable so when dropped they would degrade and not be a long term litter problem, downside well we all know that one. :nana
They are biodegradable, but they shouldn't biodegrade the first time you use them. :sad:

Does anyone know if we all get our bands from the same place, and if we do who orders them? Are there different specification ones available? I worked in a different office over Christmas and they were using bigger stretchier bands than the ones we have!!!! They were actually fairly decent! I've got band envy!!
Are we all being banded with the same rubber or is it possible for someone in the office to order cheaper stuff in? Ours are kept in a big bin for everyone to help themselves from and the other place I was in had bags on the frames.
Come to think of it I don't need better elastic bands.....................I need to get a life!
