Meet the Pens, Pencils & Markers Zero Waste Box by TerraCycle®

FAQs

How can I easily explain the concept to a customer?​

It's super simple. Imagine all of the pens companies use or give away annually. Once those pens run out of ink or break, instead of sending them to landfills or incinerators, customers can now collect them using our Zero Waste Pens Box by TerraCycle. ​

We’ll brand the box with a 3” full color label to be prominently displayed in a high traffic area to collect the used pens, pencils, and markers. ​

Once the box is full, just seal it up and send it to TerraCycle using the prepaid UPS Carbon offset shipping label. TerraCycle will work their recycling magic and turn those old pens into new, useful stuff like furniture and gardening equipment. ​

It's like giving those pens a second chance while supporting a sustainable brand dedicated to eliminating waste and building a greener future.

Why should the promotional industry care about recycling pens?

Have you heard the term, “Brandfill”? Meaning branded promo items that aren't useful, functional, quality or valuable and tend to end up in a land fill. Many clients and their potential customers have. When the promotional industry recycles pens, it's not only being eco-friendly but also showing clients and customers that they're serious about sustainability. Plus, it's a great way to stand out and make a positive impact.

How does it benefit a brand? 

Recycling pens isn't just good for the planet; it's also a smart move for brands. It builds up your image as a responsible company, connects you with customers who care about the environment, and leaves a positive mark on the world we share.
