Refillable marker pens are environmentally friendly products
Why is a refillable marker pen more environmentally friendly than a standard marker pen?
Did you even know you could buy refillable marker pens?
Well, we estimate that in Australia alone teachers throw away 40,000,000 marker pens each year. If the same rules apply in the United States, some 400,000,000 marker pens are thrown out in the US each year.
That means around 2,500 tonnes of marker pens go to Australian landfill sites annually, and 25,000 tonnes to US landfill. So disposable marker pens are hardly enviromentally friendly products.
Imagine how that number increases when you add in business users! And we have used only Australian and the US as examples.
Refillable marker pens: turn one white board marker into twenty.
Using an Auspen refillable marker pen and ink saves you and your environment the price of 20 ordinary marker pens. Just one of our refillable marker pens, with its small refill bottle, replaces those 20 ordinary marker pens that would usually end up as landfill.
Put another way, what do you think is more environmentally friendly?
