We offer a range of eco-friendly stationery for the eco-conscious customer. Our paper-based pens can reduce millions of tonnes of plastic waste sent to landfills every year.
A side-hustle turned into a full passion project, eco pen club was founded in 2019 due to the lack of sustainable stationery alternatives available.
Our story starts in late 2019 **when one of our co-founders, Lewis, was looking online for a sustainable stationery solution and found exactly …..nothing.
Zilch**.**
Zippo.
Nada.
There was not a single pen or highlighter option for anyone eco-conscious, and certainly no carbon-neutral, or recyclable, or compostable stationery items! If you think of how many millions and millions of pens (~1.6 Billion) are used and just thrown away every year, this is absolutely staggering. Millions of pens, highlighters, and vials of toxic ink are thrown into landfills each year – and nobody had come up with a more sustainable solution…
Seeing a massive gap in the market, and a huge space to make a positive change- Lewis and Tristan decided to take matters into their own hands, and start a business providing sustainable alternatives to toxic plastic stationery.
Lewis and Tristan worked around the clock to find an eco-friendly stationery solution. Every single aspect of the pen needed to be considered: from the little spring inside, the inner casing, the outer casing, even the ink itself. Over the course of several months of hard research, designing, talking to suppliers, and creating- the first eco pen was born!
