In classrooms and corporate meeting rooms across America, dry erase markers are worth their weight in gold. It's not because they have value in the traditional sense. They hold great monetary worth, because it's often difficult to find one that actually works. Once you are in possession of a dry erase marker that hasn't run out, you guard it with your life. The last thing that you want to do before a presentation is to locate a working marker. Throwing away countless markers – utilized only a few times before becoming dried out and unusable – is both frustrating and wasteful. The Melbourne Australia-based makers of AusPen dry erase markers addressed this annoying situation by creating a dry erase marker that is refillable.
Each set of AusPens includes six vibrantly colored markers, ink refills for each color and a carrying case to keep your markers organized. The process to refill an AusPen dry erase marker is easy – it takes just seconds. AusPen markers are not only innovative in that they are refillable, they are also nontoxic and odor-free, unlike the dry erase markers that most of us are accustomed to using. There's nothing like the smell of Xylene in the morning – that is if you like to start your day with toxic fumes. Xylene is a chemical found in traditional in dry erase markers that can cause skin irritation, breathing problems and central nervous system issues, among other ailments. The makers of AusPen invented a Xylene-free dry erase marker that creates less waste, is economical and is better for the person using it.
AusPen's creators have also taken their commitment to environmental responsibility into the design and manufacturing of their product. They felt it was important to use recyclable materials and to use responsible manufacturing methods in creating these high-quality dry erase markers. Using aluminum for the barrels of the pens means that they are both durable and recyclable. In addition, the nibs of the pens are made of a material that can stand up to numerous refills. According to Eco Smart World, the North American distributor of AusPen, a single AusPen Kit is equivalent to 246 disposable dry erase markers. By using just one AusPen, consumers can keep approximately 20 pounds of toxic waste out of a landfill. There is also a considerable cost savings to using AusPens compared to the smelly dry erase markers that we often have to toss in the trash.
AusPen Kits can be purchased from AusPenMarkers.com for $57.48 AUD plus shipping. Each set includes six markers, six refill ink bottles and a 100% recyclable plastic case. The pens are available in two styles. You can choose the Bullet Nib, which creates a thick line, or the Chisel Nib, which creates a fine line. If after purchasing AusPens, you don't think that they are for you, just return them for a full refund, no questions asked.
