How to recycle your pens and markers?

Pens and markers are some of the most common promotional items we receive each year. However, when they stop writing, most of the time we don't know what to do with them.

Throw them away? Not so fast!

At Templacol, we believe that every material deserves a second chance. Recycling a pen is easier than you think, but it requires following a few key steps to make sure it's done right. From trimming the plastic to separating its components, every action counts to reduce our environmental impact and make the most of resources.

In this blog, we'll explain how to recycle pens and markers, and share some helpful tips for giving them a new life. Also, join us in a video that will show you, step by step, how to do it in a practical and simple way.

Here are some tips on how to recycle pens correctly:

1. Stockpile them at home: Every pen counts!
Keep all your used pens until you can dispose of them at an appropriate recycling point.

2. Separate each pen material correctly!
Plastic parts, be sure to place them in the white bin. Metal parts will go in the scrap bin.

3. Give them a second life: Use your creativity.
Transform your old pens into something new. From picture frames to organizers... the possibilities are endless!

4. Recover before you discard.
Before you write off a pen that doesn't write, check it thoroughly. Sometimes a little shake can bring your pen back to life.
