ECO Friendly Pens and Pencils Tick The Corporate Box
Environmental concerns continue to dominate corporate agendas – whether typed or hand-written with a branded pen. More and more organisations are investing in environmental management systems as part of their commitment to reducing carbon footprints and wanting to help reduce their environmental impact. The promotional gifts industry, like most others, has kept pace with this growing trend, with many manufacturers offering both ‘standard’ and eco-friendly promotional product alternatives.
ECO friendly promotional pens are one such example of this growing trend. Promotional pens (or personalised pens or printed pens as they are also known) are one of the most cost-effective ways for a company to promote itself. The latest eco pens and pencils available add more than a ‘greenwash’ to an organisation. They can help to reduce their carbon footprint and satisfy the needs of any environmental management policy.
Reducing plastic consumption and our dependency on its raw, source material – oil, is one way that organisations can help the environment. ECO promotional pens are made either from recycled plastics, such as reclaimed vending cups or other plastic products, or plastics derived from sustainable or bio-degradable materials such as corn starch. There is no difference in quality or working-life compared to non-recycled promotional pens and prices are now very comparable, thanks to demand and rising manufacturing volumes.
In terms of branding, recycled eco pens offer the same facilities as non-recycled pens. The most common imprint method is screen-printing but laser engraving is also an option for say wooden pens. One difference perhaps with screen printing is that colour options may be limited to one or two colours – why print more than one or two if you want to be eco friendly?
So for organisations looking to improve their green credentials and generate brand awareness, promotional pens tick the box. Free promotional pen samples are available. So if you are in doubt, ask for a pen sample, check out the quality and we are sure that you will add eco promotional pens to your marketing mix.
