We’ve been feeling a little extra green lately, and it’s not because of St. Patrick’s Day or something disagreeable we ate. It’s because Earth Day is just around the corner!
The annual day to appreciate Mother Earth and show support for environmental protection is April 22 each year. Sustainability, however, is a key focus for us every day, and we’re making it easier than ever to find products that are better for the planet.
Shop by Eco-Friendly
Our new Shop by Eco-Friendly landing page sorts our sustainably minded products into three categories.
goingreen™ products
We reserve this designation for items that get high marks for sustainable materials and only use it when an entire product, not just a single component, earns third-party carbon-neutral certification or contains at least 50% recycled content or renewable material.
Eight of our writing instruments, including four BIC®-branded pens, have earned CarbonNeutral® product certification.
KG Factor Products
These items have a high likelihood of being kept or gifted, as determined by an impartial survey of consumers. The KG Factor designation helps you identify promo solutions that lessen environmental impact through longevity.
Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) Products
These two organizations manage forest certification schemes focused on sustainable forestry practices. All our domestic facilities have earned FSC® certification; our Sleepy Eye facility has also earned SFI® certification.
Top Sellers Made Mindfully
We offer 800+ products that fit into one of these categories—here are just a few.
This dependable retractable is the best-selling pen in promo, and it’s easy to see why! It features a lightweight barrel, break-resistant pocket clip, and smooth and consistent write-out. With hundreds of color combinations and your choice of ink color and point size, you can mix and match your way to the perfect writing companion. This product has achieved CarbonNeutral® product certification.

This adhesive notepad gets the job done at work, home, or the office, giving you a bit of extra room for jotting yourself a reminder or leaving someone a note.
