Recycled Pens & Pencils Direct from the Source

Did you know that at Weisenbach Recycled Products, one of the (many) things that makes us unique is our ability to  custom-print pens & pencils right here at our shop in Columbus, Ohio? We own some pretty special equipment that gives us this in-house printing capability and allows us to provide our customers with great recycled pens & pencils that are direct from the source!

Our selection of recycled writing instruments includes pens & pencils made from reclaimed denim scraps, shredded US currency, recycled plastic, reclaimed tire rubber and even color-changing ThermoChromatic ones made from recycled newspaper. These materials are compounded with a plastic resin to create practical, useful writing instruments that are sure to get noticed.

We can custom print any of these pencils or pens with your logo, contact information, or any other message that you would like to get out there. We've also got a good selection of stock imprints, if you don't want to customize. And we can get them shipped out to you quick, too, so you can have them in plenty of time for your next event. Makes a great give-away for your Earth Day celebration!

Please Vote to Make a Giant Difference - Recycle Plastic Caps

We humbly ask our readers to help us spread awareness about the big problems that little pieces of plastic can cause.

2.5 million plastic bottles are discarded every hour. The bottle may get recycled, but the plastic caps are a giant problem for marine life, birds, and for the environment. Weisenbach just received a patent for a pollution prevention product that we make from plastic bottle caps. Our program involves public collection sites for the caps that will provide wildlife protection and litter prevention awareness while inviting community involvement in the collection and recycling process.

The Green Giant ‘Green Award’ will help us divert and recycle plastic caps by creating very cool, useful green products – a giant solution for a giant problem. Watch the Video and Vote!
