How Many Pens Does It Take to Change the World?
It might sound like a joke, but the answer is serious—and surprising. In Australia alone, over 140 million plastic pens are sold and discarded every year. That’s a staggering 700 tonnes of plastic waste, or 1,100 cubic metres, ending up in landfill annually—just from pens. It's a hidden contributor to our national waste problem and highlights the need for smarter, sustainable choices.
At Dezinery, we’re proud to offer a truly eco-friendly, waste-reducing alternative that goes beyond the usual greenwash. If you or your workplace are looking for impactful, everyday recycled plastic products, we have the perfect solution.
Introducing Circular Economy Stationery – Recycled Plastic Pens
These distinctive eco-friendly pens are made right here in Australia, using 12 recycled plastic lids for each one. That’s right—what would otherwise end up as landfill is instead transformed through plastic recycling into a sleek, functional writing instrument that you’ll actually want to keep.
Each pen is handmade, meaning no two are alike, and every one tells a story. Better yet, the pens are refillable and built to last, keeping them out of the waste stream for longer. Once the refill is used up, it can be returned to the manufacturer for recycling or simply dropped at Officeworks via their national recycling program.
This is recycling in action—and a perfect example of the circular economy at work. Instead of single-use plastics, these pens help build a loop where materials are reused, repurposed, and kept out of the environment.
A Greener Alternative for Your Office or Organisation
Think about how many pens are tossed away every week in your workplace. Now imagine replacing them with sustainable, recycled options that reduce plastic waste and help foster a culture of conscious consumption. Whether you’re a small business or a large organisation, our local supplier can make to order and manage larger volumes with ease.
