Every day it’s becoming ever more important to make eco-friendly choices. We know that even simple actions like recycling can have a big impact, especially where plastic products are concerned. We’ve already seen a ban on some of the more common single-use plastics, such as plates, cups and cutlery – but what about other common plastics in your school, such as whiteboard markers?
Switch to a product that uses recycled plastic
By choosing a product that uses recycled plastic, you can help reduce the plastic waste that goes into landfill. For example, 90% of each Edding's EcoLine marker is made from recycled plastic! A simple switch that can reduce your plastic waste.
Climate-neutral manufacturing
Look for a marker that is manufactured in a way that offsets their carbon emissions, making them climate neutral; aligning seamlessly with your school's eco-mission.
Choose a refillable marker
Using a refillable marker reduces the amount of markers you’re sending to landfill instantly. Refilling markers isn't just eco-savvy; it's budget friendly too. The ability to refill markers not only prolongs their life but refilling could cost 59% less than replacing*. Less waste and more savings is a win-win scenario that's easy on both your conscience and your pocket.
Recycle all your markers
When you choose EcoLine markers from YPO, we’ll provide a complimentary recycling box, which you can use to return markers to Eddings from any brand, free of charge with pre-paid postage. So you can be confident that all the markers you use in your school will be fully recycled wherever possible.
End eco-confusion
Navigating the world of eco-friendly markers can be confusing. Some markers are refillable but not recyclable, while others use recyclable materials but still end up in landfills. By choosing EcoLine markers, you're choosing a climate-neutral, refillable, and recyclable product – putting an end to eco-confusion.
How the recycling journey works
When you order an EcoLine marker, you'll also receive an Eddings recycling box with your order; you can recycle any marker regardless of the brand. When you recycle a marker with Edding, you give them a second life. Eddings transforms these markers into brand-new EcoLine markers, ensuring they remain far from landfills.
The greener choice
Switching to EcoLine markers is a smarter choice for schools and teachers wanting to make a positive impact on the environment. You benefit from a high-quality product while contributing to a more environmentally friendly world.
It's a win for the environment, a win for your budget, and a win for a greener future.
