Refillable Markers: Schools And Businesses Significantly Reduce Waste And Save Money
If you grew up in the ‘70s or ‘80s Woodsy Owl really expected you to not litter. The "Give a Hoot – Don't Pollute" campaign throughout the United States and Canada effectively taught a generation to use the garbage can. And now that we're grown up, it's plain to see that we are really good at throwing things away. Fast-forward to the children growing up in the new millennium. Their skills include carrying out school waste audits, establishing environmental clubs and urging their schools to turn to green school supplies that are non-toxic, reusable and recyclable.
But green products, like refillable dry-erase markers, can challenge our way of thinking. Perhaps we think they're too expensive, too messy and inconvenient, poor quality, or just too old fashioned. The truth is, many eco-friendly products have significant cost savings, top quality manufacturing, and an undeniable contribution to the modern pursuit of environmentalism. They are the product, so to speak, of a new frame of mind.
The AusPen, a non-toxic, recyclable and refillable dry-erase (whiteboard) marker is a prime example of this new mindset. Each AusPen starter kit contains 6 markers and their refill inks. Far from being an eco-friendly product that is more of a luxury item than a necessity, the AusPen fetches cost savings of approximately 70%. Since each refill bottle contains the ink equivalent to 40 disposable markers, the per-marker cost of the AusPen is 28 cents, compared to traditional markers which range between 70 cents to 1 dollar. Considering that schools, campuses and offices are ordering dry-erase markers for dozens and even hundreds of classrooms and offices, this represents appreciable savings.
Second, with regard to quality, the AusPen was designed by its Australian makers with durability and human health in mind. Regular markers are designed to be thrown away, so its nibs fray and dry out quickly if left uncapped. The creators of AusPen, on the other hand, have reinforced the nibs, made them double-ended (so you can switch the nib around) and made a longer cap-off recovery period. More importantly, the AusPen is non-toxic, doing away with the commonly-used chemical xylene, which is linked to headaches, dizziness and breathing difficulties such as asthma.
Finally, regarding the notion that refillable markers are old fashioned, there are few more pressing environmental priorities of our times than reducing the waste we generate and precious resources we consume. North American teachers will throw away over 500 million dry-erase markers into their local landfills this year, making dry-erase markers one of the top sources of toxic waste for schools and offices. These markers, incidentally, are non-biodegradable and will not break down. One AusPen kit is the equivalent of 246 disposable markers and as such keeps approximately 20 pounds of toxic waste out of the landfill. Then, as all good things must come to an end, when the aluminum-built AusPen reaches the end of its long user-lifespan, it goes into the recycling box.
Cost savings, quality, and waste reduction characterize the AusPen refillable markers, proving that both the environment and coffers can stay green. ‘Give a Hoot – Don't Pollute' has served us well, as long as we curb our enthusiasm to throw everything away.
