In a world where consumers are increasingly aware of climate change, we examine what eco-friendly stationery really means, and how it aligns with a move towards greater sustainability.
What is eco-friendly stationery?
The definition of eco-friendly stationery is stationery made from recycled materials, or materials that are known not to cause damage or harm to the environment. Eco-friendly merchandise, therefore, will contain minimal, or no, artificial components and will be manufactured instead from recyclable materials, or materials that are replenishable and biodegradable.
Eco-friendly materials
At Fast Pens, we use the following materials in the production of our range of eco-friendly stationery:
- Bamboo
- Recycled paper
- Recycled aluminium cans
- Recycled plastic water bottles
- Cork
Eco-friendly stationery from Fast Pens
To encourage our customers towards more environmentally-friendly buying habits, we offer a range of attractive and practical eco-friendly stationery products.
Eco-friendly pens
Our range of eco-friendly pens includes sustainable bamboo pens with a choice of personalisation method, and a large print area. Our promotional bamboo pens can be personalised on both sides if required and are available with variable data laser engraving or variable data printing. Offering the aesthetic of a wooden pen, our bamboo promotional pens are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic pens and metal pens.
Our range also includes an eco-friendly metal pen manufactured from recycled aluminium cans and recycled plastic water bottles, as well as eco pens made from recycled paper.
Eco-friendly notebooks
Our Kraft notebook has a sturdy cover manufactured from recycled wood fibre pulp and contains 72 pages of recycled and lined paper. Approximately A5 in size, the notebook has a generous print area and can be digitally printed to offer a sustainable, personalised notebook. As with our promotional bamboo pens, the Kraft notebook is available with variable data printing as well as printing on both sides if required.
As an alternative to recycled board notebooks, we offer a choice of cork cover notebooks. Customers can choose between a cork notebook digitally printed in full colour or one that is laser engraved for a ‘burned’ effect. Both are A5 in size, with 80 sheets of lined paper.
