19 Ways To ReUse and Recycle Pens
You hardly write anymore, the pens dry up and all of a sudden you have a plethora of pens with dried ink, you don’t want to send to landfills, especially with toxic ink and of course the plastic doesn’t biodegrade.
I Just Gotta Tell Ya
- Over 10 Billion non bio-degradable pens are sent to landfills every year
- Pens are made of steel, polypropylene, nylon, polyester and a number of chemicals.
- Most people buy pens in bulk, think about all the packaging, the paper and the plastic, which may or may not be taken by recycling centers
- Most recycling centers do not take used pens.
So what can you do?
- Purchase either biodegradable pens or refillable pens.
- Donate pens to libraries, schools or other pen-worthy organizations such as Pens For Kids- www.pensforkids.co.uk
