Why Consider Promotional Eco Pens For Your Business?

Branded eco-friendly pens are a must-consider for any UK business, whether you're ordering for in-house use or are looking for a high-impact giveaway option for your customers.

After all, demonstrating that your business is trying to adopt more eco-minded practices is important, and shows that your brand is self-aware and firmly tapped into current concerns.

And of course, much like regular promo pens, promotional eco pens are still printed with your logo to ensure awareness for your business with every use. What's not to like?

Why Should Your Business Consider Eco Branded Pens?

Swapping your usual tried-and-tested logo-printed pens for an eco alternative can feel like taking a step into the unknown - but it's definitely worth considering if you can.

It shows you're aware of environmental concerns: after all, data published by Impact Reporting show that around two-thirds of employees would sooner work for an organisation that they believed had a clear social conscience.
It shows your business takes its corporate social responsibility (CSR) seriously: the same research showed that people believe CSR accounts for over 40% of a company's good (or bad) reputation.
Choosing eco alternatives is a great way for your brand to play its part in regard to environmental concerns. Granted, eco-friendly promo pens might not work for every business or every occasion but if you can do it, it's a great option as well as a talking point.

And of course, while ordering eco-friendly pens might not work for every business, you can still be eco-minded in terms of your purchase.

We stock a huge range of promotional pens and you can be mindful of their environmental impact by ordering the amount you need (rather than ordering an excess that could end up being disposed of).

You can also check what your recipients can do with the pens after they've run out of ink: can they be refilled, or perhaps recycled? We're more than happy to advise, so get in touch with our friendly team today if you have any questions.

What Qualifies A Custom Pen As Eco-Friendly?

There are a number of considerations that can influence whether a pen does (or doesn't) qualify as an eco-friendly promotional product. These include...

What's it made from? Look out for information relating to the construction of the pen, and what material(s) it's constructed from. These can range from recycled plastic (for example, we have pens made from recycled bottles and CD cases) to naturally-derived materials, such as bamboo and wheat straw.
Are refillable pens better for the environment? Of course, a pen that can be used for a longer period of time is, in theory at least, more eco-minded than one that will expire after a few months of use. If you're unsure about whether or not your chosen pen can be refilled, simply ask your account manager, who will be happy to advise.
What can your customers do with it once it's fulfilled its purpose? Is it simply to be chucked with the rubbish or can it be recycled or put on a compost heap? It's also important to pay attention to which parts of the pen can be recycled; for example, a metal clip might not be disposable in the same way as a plastic body.

So what are the best options ready to order for your business today? We have a wide range of branded eco pens that are ready to order with your logo today, so read on to discover some of our favourites...
