Kudos (for the most part) to Mitsubishi Pencil Australia for their plastic-free initiative

This announcement is good. It offers newsagents stocking these products a good story to share.

That said, it is frustrating that they launched this first with Officeworks – way to show small business retailers how little they mean to you Mitsubishi.

The uni-ball brand is regarded around the world for its high-quality writing instruments.

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.

From November 1st 2022, we will be rolling out single use plastic packaging across our hang-sell range.

Our new packaging marks a change in Australia, moving from plastic blister cards to 100% plastic-free packaging. The new packaging is currently available at Officeworks stores and will begin to be rolled out across all channels from November 2022.
