Friends of the Earth Côte-d’Or launched a local writing instrument collection program in 2013. Over time, the amount of material collected has increased, and it is now recycled into garden furniture through Terracycle.
Recycling is good, but in line with the maxim “the best waste is no waste at all,” they asked themselves what could be done to reduce the volume of waste generated by writing—specifically by pens, markers, correction fluid, and other writing tools.
You’ll therefore find various sections on this site (Imprisonment / Rebirth / Raw Materials / Second Life / Miscellaneous) to help you become an informed consumer, especially as the school year begins
There is a recycling program for writing instruments (TerraCycle), and anyone can drop off their used pens, markers, mechanical pencils, glue sticks, and more at one of the many collection points in Côte-d’Or listed on the map.
