Thank you for asking us to make your Return to Office Packs. We hope you love your plastic free, 100% not for profit packs.
Here’s what’s in your pack:
The Metal Hydrator Bottle; Made from recycled metal, The Metal Hydrator Bottle is the perfect double-walled vacuum insulated bottle and will help to keep water cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours. Made in the UK, it’s plastic-free, manufactured by an SME, with 100% of the profits providing hot meals for our homeless communities.
Your Notebook; Manufactured in the UK from UK and EU paper pulp, this notebook has the fewest Carbon miles and the lowest emissions. Commissioned by Ethstat, your notebooks are plastic-free and printed with vegan ink and are fully recyclable when the binding is separated.
Some pen facts…Did you know that most household branded pens are unrecyclable, and the nib contains blood minerals? Once used, most empty pens end up in landfills, and the toxins are released into our atmosphere. BiC sells 14 million pieces of BiC Cristal ballpoint pens a day across the world. When you work it out, that’s 171 billion pens since it launched in the 1950’s. The raw materials alone to make that quantity of pens would equate to at least 3.7B kgC02. If one were to factor in distribution and manufacturing, the total true emissions would be over 7B KgCO2.
That is the same as a person flying around the world 1,585,789 times. One line, one manufacturer amongst many.
Our Ethstat Tree Pen; Inspired by the pen used to sign the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, The Ethstat Tree Pen is made from cornstarch and recycled card and has seeds at one end. Once planted, the seeds will feed off the cornstarch and completely biodegrade in 12-18 months, leaving the beginnings of a Scotch Pine Tree. Once grown, we’ll be saving a tonne of CO2.
Your Bags; We hope you love your bags as much as we do. They were printed sustainably using a Fairtrade friendly printing processes, Fairtrade and Certified GOTS. Perfect for holding your stationery, packed lunches or use it as a washbag!
