New blister packs tick the sustainability box.

 

Mitsubishi Pencil Australia has rolled out new plastic-free packaging across its hang-sell range.

 

 “Our new packaging marks a change in Australia, moving from plastic blister cards to 100 per cent plastic-free packaging. The new FSC-certified packaging is currently available at Officeworks stores and will begin to be rolled out across all channels from November 2022,” the company said.

 

“At Mitsubishi Pencil Australia are now focusing our efforts on the company’s sustainability efforts with the uni-ball range at the forefront of our campaign to reduce the use of single-use plastics,” the company added.

 

In place of mineral-based inks, Mitsubishi Pencil is using a vegetable-based ink as well as using non-toxic water-based varnish, which is both biodegradable and recyclable.
