Promotional Pens made from post consumer recycled Tetra Pak cartons

Promotional pens continue to be one of the most cost effective mediums to communicate your corporate message to a wide audience for a relatively small investment. Not only can you achieve reach for your message, printed pens are also a great way to drive home other credentials of your business.

For example, if you are looking to convey an image of a business that is not only aware of eco issues but also take a proactive approach towards them you might consider using the Envirostick Ball pen in your next awareness campaign. The number of recycled promotional pens available is phenomenal, but how many of them are actually contributing to the sustainability of the planet and how many are just using a recycled logo to benefit commercially?

The Envirostick is uniquely positioned in this respect as we can quantify the precise impact your decision to buy green has on the sustainability of our planet, how many other recycled printed pens can offer this? The Envirostick Ball Pen is made from an innovative material called Ecoallene®, derived from the recycling of post consumer Tetra Pak cartons. Cartons contain three waste layers; paper, aluminium and polyethylene. Under a complex process the three layers are separated, the paper is sent for recycling and the aluminium and polyethylene layers are combined under heat to form a plastic granule called Ecoallene®. Ecoallene® has very similar properties to traditional plastics and most importantly it’s cost effective too.

Now for the numbers, from just one tonne of used Tetra Pak cartons processed to form Ecoallene®, a massive 900KG of greenhouse gas emissions are avoided and 3 cubic metres of landfill site space is saved. This really is a green product you and your customers can be proud to use, not only are you enjoying fantastic promotional pens, you are also saving the planet at the same time.

The next time you throw out an Orange Juice carton, just take a minute to consider the possibility that you could be using a pen made from the very same carton you just discarded.
