2nd September 2010
A new promotional ball pen with more recycled components than any previous pen is now available from Leyland-based pen specialists BusinessGiftPens.co.uk.
The Envirostick Ballpen features the world’s first recycled ballpen refill, plus recycled barrel and cap, so all the plastic components are 100% sourced from waste materials.
The cap and refill are both made from Ecoallene; a brand new plastic material derived from recycled Tetra Pak beverage cartons that are made of 75% paper, 20% polyethylene and 5% aluminium. The barrel of the Envirostick is made from recycled polystyrene, all sourced from Italy and printed in England, cutting down the tremendous travel burden of shipping pens from the Far East, as is generally the norm.
The cap features a child safe breather hole, in case it is ever accidentally swallowed, and the barrel is available in black or white with a further choice of cap colours. A good advertising impact can be made with the large 45 x 18mm print area and using the Envirostick pen for promotional purposes will certainly enhance any organisation’s green credentials.
Parent company Ad-Options Limited, established since 1985, are distributing the pen through their website BusinessGiftPens.co.uk and further details can be found by clicking the link below...

Managing director Stephen Ward is delighted with the addition of the new eco pen to the company range.
“The Envirostick should become the ball pen of choice for all offices,” he explained. “The green credentials of this pen are unmatched and it is a practical, very low cost and effective way of promoting a company or brand.”
A comprehensive range of environmentally friendly pens can now be viewed and reserved online.

The items are proofed and printed as required by clients and take approximately two weeks to complete. Faster service can be negotiated when production capacity will allow.
Distributing your own promotional pen in this way is a really cost effective method of communicating with customers, creating goodwill and providing a lasting reminder of important services and contact details.

Leyland based Business Gift distributors Ad-Options Limited are helping to support the remarkable charitable efforts of a Chorley schoolboy.
On Wednesday 4th August 9 year old Vincent Wardale a pupil at Abbey Village Primary School in Chorley sets out on his biggest sporting challenge yet - a “Coast to Coast Bike Ride” from Whitehaven in Cumbria to Sunderland in the North East in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice 25th Anniversary!
It’s all part of the Sporting Events Project which John Gibson, a Volunteer Sports Fundraiser, has set up to raise the awareness of the Hospice to a younger generation in the local community.
As John says “Julie, his mother, rang me in May saying that Vincent wanted to raise some money for St. Catherine’s Hospice. His aim being during the school summer holidays (4 - 7 August) to cycle 140 miles to complete the Coast-to-Coast cycle route. As Vincent says “I am letting my parents tag along with me”. It just goes to show what our children can do”.
Our thanks to Stephen Knight, Headteacher at Abbey Village Primary School, who has been very supportive of Vincent’s challenge from day one, and to Steve Ward who runs www.businessgiftpens.co.uk in Leyland and has kindly donated T-Shirts and Caps for their journey.
Steve Ward told us “We have helped St Catherine’s both directly and through the Sporting Challenges being held this year, which is the 25th anniversary for both ourselves and the Hospice. When John Gibson told us of Vincent’s efforts we were delighted to get involved and send our best wishes to both him and his supportive parents”.
Should you wish to support Vincent’s efforts with sponsorship, please contact Dave and Julie Wardale by email: skip1a@hotmail.co.uk.
