I am very particular about my pens. Pens must feel good in my hands and must write well with no “smudgies“.
I suffer from Carpal Tunnel and sometimes holding a pen or pencil and trying to write is easier said then done. That is why I like pens that feel comfortable in my hands.
PaperMate has a new line of pens and pencils that I was fortunate to sample. Not only do they look attractive but they also feel good in your hand and write very well (no smudgies!). However there is something even bigger, and much better, about the new PaperMate pens and pencils that make them superior to other pens available on the market. The new PaperMate pens and pencils are BIODEGRADABLE!
“When you write with a Paper Mate Biodegradable pen or pencil, you can do your part to help protect our planet,” said Kanan Banerjee, director of marketing for Paper Mate.
“It may seem like a small step but when you consider that nearly 12 million writing instruments are sold in the U.S. each year, the impact can be considerable. Choosing green has never been more important and Paper Mate Biodegradable* pens and pencils make going green simple, easy and affordable.”
The biodegradable components of the new Paper Mate Biodegradable products are made from plant-derived sugar, a renewable resource. Once the biodegradable components are disassembled and placed in soil, they naturally decompose in about a year, producing less waste and more compost. The products are also packaged in 100% PVC-free recyclable material. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?
The new Paper Mate Biodegradable products are the latest step in Paper Mate’s ongoing commitment to the environment. Paper Mate also offers an existing line of products made from recycled sources, and recently introduced an innovative new up-cycling program to find new ways to re-purpose otherwise throwaway writing instruments.
I have to say I’m loving my PaperMate biodegradable pens and pencils. My kids both know that they are Mommy’s Pens and totally off limits. I keep them hidden, away from that mysterious “Not Me” person who likes to hijack my pens and pencils. They are also very nice looking in a nice creamy white color and soft green accents.
