Pentel(R) of America Celebrates Earth Day in the Windy City
Recycology(TM) Handy-line S(TM) Dry Erase Marker Makes Debut
TORRANCE, Calif., May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Pentel of America is proud to announce that in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, they will be an exhibitor in the Green Festival Chicago at the Chicago Navy Pier. On Saturday, May 16th and Sunday, May 17th, Pentel of America will join other exhibitors in this two-day festival of music, education and environmental awareness.
The Green Festival Chicago helps environmental companies, non-profit organizations and sponsors inform the community about eco-friendly products and bettering the environment. With over 35,000 expected to attend, the Green Festival is an ideal platform for Pentel to demonstrate their eco-friendly Recycology line of writing instruments.
"Pentel has a long standing tradition of bettering the environment. We began our eco-friendly business practices 35 years ago, and are proud to see the culmination of our environmental commitment with the Recycology line of eco-friendly products. Given our emphasis on eco-friendly practices, it makes sense to celebrate Earth Day in America's Windy City," says Marty Furman, Chief Operating Officer of Pentel of America.
Recycology is a collection of writing instruments that balances innovative design and quality with a dedication to creating a healthier environment. In addition to using recycled materials, many of the products in the Recycology line are refillable to further lessen environmental waste. Recycology is the only complete line of eco-friendly writing instruments to feature pens, pencils, markers, highlighters, tape and whiteboard markers on the market today.
Pentel of America will debut their latest Recycology offering, the Handy-line S Dry Erase Marker for whiteboards, during Green Festival Chicago. Comprised of 55% recycled materials, this refillable whiteboard marker features a retractable bullet tip, low odor ink and an inventive seal technology that prevents the marker from drying out. It is the only eco-friendly whiteboard marker that is refillable on the market today.
"The Handy-Line S perfectly illustrates the Recycology philosophy," Furman states. "Cutting edge technology creates a superior marker that is made from recyclable materials and is refillable. We're also sensitive about costs. Pentel of America demonstrates that earth-friendly products do not have to compromise quality or cost more."
