Lecce Pen Company – Manufacturer Of Personalised Pens With A Difference – Part 3

The changes that Lecce Pen embarked on several years ago are now coming to fruition and the best example of this innovative approach is apparent in the commitment to ground-breaking product development of promotional eco friendly pens. The following is a list of innovative pens that Lecce introduced to the market as world’s firsts

• Biodegradable Pens – For over 25 years now, Lecce Pen has been manufacturing biodegradable pens for both retail and promotional markets. Long before we were aware of the impending social pressure to conserve and recycle Lecce Pen company embarked on the development of personalised pens based on corn starch – a natural material adapted to suit injection moulding. These were collectively known as the green pens range and they are still great sellers today. These can be overprinted with your corporate logo or message in up to six colours here at The Pen Warehouse and an optional express pen printing service is also available.
• Recycled PET Pens – These were the world’s first recycled plastic pens and they were manufactured from recycled PET water bottles. Sadly, the product was discontinued but The Pen Warehouse embarked on a project of their own to make a range of recycled plastic pens, the most popular of which is our Panther Eco Extra Ball Pens. These have been great selling pens now in the UK for several years with the benefit that they are available at prices very similar to normal plastic pens.
• One of the main reasons Lecce Pen Company decided to discontinue their range of PET promotional pens was because they wished to channel their resources into the development of a plastic material based on recycled drinks cartons. Whereas there was a burgeoning market for recycled PET bottles, no recycling process existed that could recover a usable material from used drinks cartons. This was a category of waste that had to go to landfill and it was not biodegradable and this posed a huge ecological problem for the most eco-friendly minded scientists. This moral obligation to develop a process to effectively recover all the materials used in drinks cartons so it could be recycled fell to Lecce Pen and Tetra Pak. The material that ultimately came out of many year’s of R&D culminated in the development of EcoAllene, a truly innovative material that is now being used in a small but growing range of promotional items.

This will be dealt with in a future article coming to you very soon from The Pen Warehouse – The home of printed pens
