ECO CREDENTIALS: Please remember our products have always been designed and manufactured to last. They are NOT classed as single use. The majority of our products are made from zinc alloy which is a very sustainable material option. Plus with laser engraving as our branding method the item is NOT tainted and so can avoid going to Landfill at the end of its very long life!
Recyclable: Zinc alloys are completely recyclable and can be reused many times, which can help reduce the environmental impact of non-recyclable materials. Zinc alloy is also a non-ferrous metal that can be recycled indefinitely without losing its chemical or physical properties.
Energy Efficient: Zinc alloys require less energy to transform, which makes them more sustainable from an energy perspective.
Non-toxic: Zinc is non-toxic, which makes it a responsible choice for the environment.
Durable: Zinc is durable and resistant to corrosion.
Our Product Range:
Can generally be put in domestic recycling bins. The majority fall under the mixed metals category that is accepted for recycling. However, some councils might have specific rules, so it’s always best to double-check with your local authority about what exactly they accept in their recycling bin.
Our Metal ballpens with ink refills are generally recyclable, but the process can be tricky due to the different materials involved. While the metal parts of the pen (clip, tip, spring) are usually recyclable, the ink refill itself may not be. Some recycling facilities accept pens as a whole, while others require the components to be separated.
NEW FOR OUR KEYRING RANGE – all stock will be presented as standard in eco 2 piece recycled card boxes with NO plastic moulded inner tray.
Where outer individual bags are required for items to protect the item from scratching we use low density polyethylene bags that can be recycled.
Where possible we manage our stock cycle to bring in by sea to reduce our carbon footprint. #We use recycled card in all our outer tuck box packaging and for our deluxe presentation boxes.
We are working closely with our factories on new initiatives to manufacture using recycled metals and to reduce their own carbon footprint.
