Enviro Pens

Enviro pens carry a material story that a conventional plastic pen can't match, and the material choice is what matters most when ordering from this range. Bamboo pens are laser engravable and carry one of the most recognisable sustainable credentials. Bamboo grows back in three to five years without pesticides. Cork pens use bark from living trees that continue to grow after harvest. Paper pens are rolled from recycled fibre and biodegrade at end of life. Plant starch and wheat starch pens are bioplastics that look like a conventional pen but carry a different end-of-life story. Recycled plastic uses post-consumer material at the most competitive eco price point. Recycled aluminium and stainless steel are engravable and suit gift applications where a more considered finish is the priority.

An environmental consultancy ordering for a client welcome pack chooses cork pens because handing a new client a cork pen at the very first meeting already signals something about how the consultancy operates, before a single word has been exchanged about the organisation's values or approach. The material does more in that moment than any tagline on the barrel could.

All styles can be printed with spot colours or full colour digital print. Bamboo and metal styles can be engraved for a permanent result.

Good to Know

What is the difference between plant starch and recycled plastic?

Plant starch pens are made from bioplastic derived from agricultural crops, so the raw material is renewable and the pen breaks down under composting conditions. Recycled plastic pens use post-consumer material, diverting it from landfill, so the credential is diversion rather than biodegradability.

Which material suits a corporate gift or onboarding pack?

Bamboo and recycled metal styles look and feel more considered than paper or recycled plastic and hold a logo well through engraving or print, making them the strongest choice for corporate gifts. Cork suits occasions where the tactile, natural surface is part of the impression.

Can all styles be printed in full colour?

Full colour digital print suits most barrel styles and produces detailed multi-colour logos across the surface; bamboo and metal styles can also be engraved for a permanent result. Paper and cork take spot colour printing most reliably and suit bold, clean logos rather than fine-detail artwork.

What is the minimum order?

Most styles start at 250 units, with selected styles offering 24-hour and 3-day express turnaround at an additional charge. Regular production takes 5–10 business days from artwork approval.
