Trade your single-use pens and markers for Pentel’s Recycology products instead.

This single-use pen and highlighter: is used, tossed into your desk drawer with a pile of others, and eventually lands in the trash. It may seem harmless to throw away something so small, but the sad fact is that 10 billion non-degradable plastic pens are tossed into landfills each year worldwide. That’s a big, ugly pile of plastic that Mother Earth could do without. Switch to a greener version with…

That Pentel Recycology writing instruments: which are made from a minimum of 50% and up to 100% recycled content or post-consumer recycled content. This environmentally responsible line of products includes pens, pencils, markers, lead, and tape. Many of the products are refillable, and the packaging is made from recycled and recyclable material. It’s a perfect alternative. Plus, the cost is comparable to Pentel’s regular products! No-brainer!
