Eco products made from recycled content are generally classified as post-consumer or post-industrial. Post-consumer refers to materials that have served their intended use, been collected from the end-user, and reprocessed. Put simply, it’s the garbage we routinely throw away. By contrast, post-industrial recycled material is usually derived from manufacturing waste or sub-standard products that have not been used.

Many eco products in our Next Day catalog are made from post-consumer waste materials such as car headlights, CDs, cellular phones, plastic bags and car battery encasements. One such product is the Zebra Jimnie Retractable Pen, made from over 75% post-consumer materials. To go green with the Zebra eco-friendly pen, click here!
