As a result of its proactive response to green issues, Mitsubishi Pencil Co. has been awarded an environmental certificate by the British Office Supplies and Services (BOSS) Federation.

The award heralds the company's corporate policy, which has seen a number of eco-products launched to make efficient use of natural resources.

One such product is the Power Tank Eco. This high performance writing instrument features a barrel made from recycled polycarbonate plastic and a comfortable grip made from re-formed sawdust and resin.

The green credentials of this pen are further enhanced by its packaging, which is completely constructed from fully recyclable card and uses no plastic blister - a key focus for the company as it continues to develop packaging with minimum impact on the environment.

Stuart Barker, Marketing Manager at Mitsubishi Pencil Co. said: "We're delighted to be recognised by the BOSS Federation with this accreditation.

"As a responsible manufacturer we will continue to develop and distribute products that have a minimum impact on the environment. We hope that many people will realise the importance of conserving resources through our stationery products."
