A budget-friendly refillable whiteboard marker that embodies the principles of sustainable design ticks all the boxes.
Whiteboard markers that produce faint lines or dry out quickly is the bane of many teachers’ lives, inconveniently bringing a rapid-fire brainstorming session to a sudden halt or disrupting a train of thought while explaining a complex math equation.
Their shared frustrations have led one company to seek a solution.
For over 100 years, Pilot Corporation has been guided by its principles of innovating and creating beautiful writing instruments that provide a writing experience like no other.
Reusing products by refilling is one of the key pillars of Pilot Pen Australia’s sustainability approach.
“It’s about avoiding or eliminating plastic waste by extending the life of plastics and reducing the use of raw materials. We’ve designed a quality, Japanese product range of writing instruments that can be refilled many times over for both economical and sustainable effectiveness,” the company says.
With more than 2,000 products in its portfolio, Pilot Pen Australia has the right writing tool for almost any need.
For teachers looking for a reliable whiteboard marker, the V Board Master ticks all the boxes.
Easily refillable, the V Board Master is a pure liquid ink whiteboard marker with high visibility and advanced technology, ensuring ink is used to the very last drop.
“As a Design and Technology teacher, I’m always looking for practical ways to bring the principles of sustainable design into the classroom. Using refillable whiteboard markers is a simple yet impactful step,” says Brianna, a secondary school teacher in Gordon, Sydney.
“Not only do they significantly reduce plastic waste, but they’re also budget-friendly and incredibly easy to refill with cartridges. It’s a real-world example of responsible design that I can demonstrate to my students every day.”
Designed to overcome teachers’ frustrations with markers that produce faint lines or dry out quickly, the V Board Master has three key features.
“Our markers are available in four vibrant colours – blue, green, orange and red – plus black. Teachers can make their lessons pop with rich, bold ink that’s easily visible from the back of the room,” the company says.
“They also have consistent ink flow, which means smooth, skip-free writing from the first stroke to the last.
“They also have refillable cartridges. Schools can save money and reduce waste by refilling their markers quickly and easily with no mess.”
The V Board Master also comes in two tip options, Bullet or Chisel.
To extend the life of whiteboard markers, ensure they are tightly capped after use to prevent the ink from drying out. Store them horizontally to maintain ink consistency and flow.
V Board Master are available from office product suppliers. Schools can find their local retailer at pilotpen.com.au
