We live in an ever-changing world where awareness of our surroundings and the effect we all have on our environment, is becoming a daily concern. At the Pen Warehouse, we strive to bring you a range of high quality, eco friendly products from sustainable sources. Our large range of recycled promotional products consist of both pens and eco friendly pencils, made from a variety of eco friendly materials such as recycled plastic, recycled paper and FSC wood.
The advances made in this promotional market over the years have been huge and the quality of the recycled and biodegradable pens have improved tenfold, allowing these recycled promotional items to compete with non eco friendly versions on the same level. This provides a competitive aspect to their sales and allows you to protect your environment, without settling for second best.
Recycled Pens & Recycled Pencils
If you had been told a few years ago, that you would be using writing instruments made from corn starch, biodegradable paper or recycled plastic cartons, you would probably have sniggered openly and backed away slowly. Today, these are just some of the products on offer to you, each one providing functionality and good looks in an area of promotional goods that is only ever going to increase.
Our recycled pens start with our budget range ‘Recycled Paper Pens’ at only 9p a unit, with their generous print area and choice of five great colours, how can you resist? We also offer a range of recycled pens with caps, push-buttons or twist action mechanisms and our ‘Envirostick Ball Pens’ are truly unique as they are the world’s first and only promotional recycled pens that are available with a recycled refill too!
Need something with an extra twist? No problem, our eco friendly range has it all and our ‘Biostick Duo Ball Pens’ are a brilliant pen to have on hand. With it’s recycled paper body and corn starch trim, it has a smooth surface and a double ended pen option, with a blue ink refill one end and a black one on the other end. With safety caps on each end, this is a very attractive and fun option to use at your next promotional event.
Biodegradable Recycled Promotional Products
Hang on, how can I write with a paper pen? And do I really want one made with something that sounds as if it’s from the kitchen cupboard? Well fair enough, if you aren’t used to buying recycled pens then it probably all sounds a bit weird to you! So let me tell you a bit more about the biodegradable materials used in creating your recycled promotional items.
Let’s take a look at corn starch. This amazing product can’t really be called an invention as it’s as old as...well...corn! Recent advances in technology have allowed this amazing biodegradable product to be used with a greater advantage than ever though, with it’s uses ranging from our recycled pens, to promotional packaging and recently, even heart surgery! It just goes to show you that nature really does seem to provide us with the answers in life, sometimes before we even know what the questions are ourselves.
Recycled paper is something you’ll be a bit more used to. It’s a product that we’ve all become accustomed to seeing in our daily lives and probably use all the time without even thinking about it. Paper pens are actually made from recycled cardboard and consist of thin layers of paper bound tightly together and wrapped around the pens refill, making a strong tube to form the outer body. It certainly doesn’t lack the strength of non eco friendly pens, in fact if anything it is actually probably more comfortable to hold and write with.
Recycled Promotional Items
If you are worried about a suffering from a lack of choice with our recycled promotional items, don’t be! Our range of recycled pens continue even further, offering you the options of gel pens, quality rosewood pens, rollerballs, retractables and even recycled highlighter pens! You really will be spoilt for choice!
So next time you are throwing your cartons, old papers and other recycled products into the recycling bin, just think..they could spend the next portion of their lives as recycled pens and biodegradable pencils!
Recycled Pencils
Our selection of recycled pencils is just as varied as our recycled pens. These start with our budget range of approved FSC wood pencils at a meagre starting price point of only 11p pence per unit! These are available in a choice of eight popular colours, all with eraser tips and with their glossy biodegradable coats would look great with your company logo on!
If you need something a little jazzier, then take a look at our ‘Recycled Paper Foil Pencils’. With their unique paper body and stunning prismatic foil covering, it’s a promotional product sure to catch your eye. It features a generous print area for your company branding and features white eraser tips as a finishing touch.
Did you know we even offer recycled plastic pencil sharpeners to complement your new pencils? These are round in shape and have screw on lids to keep those biodegradable pencil shavings tightly locked away! They are available in a choice of black or white and can even be be printed in stunning full colour if required. These handy little items are actually made from recycled, eco friendly vending cups, so now you don’t have to feel guilty about drinking all that coffee!
To complete our range of recycled pencils we are able to offer you yet another style option, with our recycled plastic mechanical pencils. These are available in either black or white and feature a sleek body with clip and matching erasers. Ideal when you want to write on the go, without stopping to sharpen that recycled tip!
Why Should I Buy Biodegradable and Recycled Promotional Items?
Why indeed, still not sure? Then here are a few facts to help you decide..
Did you know that people in the UK alone, throw away enough rubbish to fill the Albert Hall in just two hours! Our landfill sites are fit to burst with the rubbish and waste mountains growing steadily, put simply, something had to change.
The valuable rescources on this plant may seem like everlasting gold mines but in fact, most have a limited lifespan. By constantly dipping into the pool of nature’s resources and then discarding them in landfill sites, we are creating a future that looks very bleak indeed. If you can bring yourself to imagine an unchanged situation just a few more years down the road, it doesn’t paint a pretty picture.
Recycled products are as attractive and useful as non eco friendly versions. They re-use our planet’s natural resources, instead of destroying more and more of it and use FSC wood from sustainable sources, ensuring a cycle with a longer and less damaging life. A logo we are all familiar with, features three arrows in a circle and of course, represents a recycled product. The meaning behind this design is simple yet clever and shows a neverending cycle, instead of the previous finite one that we were heading towards.
For the recycled market to really work, it takes people like you who care about your environment, to buy these recycled promotional products and to pass the message along.
Does your marketing campaign involve a section of the population that would respond well to this way of thinking? Most promotional advertising that involve schools, young people, local governments and eco friendly businesses put the biodegradable recycled promotional products at the top of their list when choosing items for their company.
This may work to your advantage in ways you can’t even imagine as some of our eco friendly pens and pencils are designed with a very attractive, unique appearance, which far from being second best in your target audiences eyes, could actually make it stand out above your competitors products!
FSC Wood
FSC stands for the Forest Stewardship Council, an international, non-governmental body that exists to regulate and encourage sustainable recycled wood products and promotes responsible management of the world’s forests. Our FSC wood pencils have been approved as having been sourced from safe, certified forests that do not add to the existing problem of having forests stripped bare and harvested to the ground. With FSC wood, you can be confident you are contributing against safeguarding the future of our forests.
