FEATURED MAKER

AusPen

the first non-toxic, refillable, whiteboard markers

WorkingWonders™ is proud to offer this line that was conceived of and designed in Australia. 

Some people may see it as a little unusual to find it here, among bedding and linens and furniture. What makes this such an important line for us to carry is the incredible contribution this maker has made with it to less waste and better air quality, especially within schools and healthcare environments. 

WorkingWonders™ characterizes AusPen as a pioneering green company for this significant contribution to better air quality in places of learning, healthcare facilities, and business – as well as homes.


In Their Words: 

Whiteboard markers are a surprisingly large source of waste. Between schools, universities and other institutions, roughly 400 million whiteboard markers are thrown out every year in America alone. At AusPen, we decided that’s 400 million reasons to create a higher quality, refillable and reusable line of whiteboard markers that can save some garbage from landfills.

We don’t want people to have to choose between a sustainable, green product and saving money. That’s why all AusPen products are built on the idea of balancing quality manufacturing, environmental sustainability, and economical pricing.

From initial conception to the final products, all of our markers embody these fundamental concepts. The markers themselves are made from recyclable materials that are designed to last for a very long time. The ink, marker nibs and barrels of our markers come together create the best whiteboard marker in the industry that offers a nearly infinite lifespan with refilling and replacing nibs as needed.

We always hold ourselves to high standards and make sure our products are very safe to use in classrooms with young children. For example, many whiteboard markers use the chemical xylene to help the ink stick to the board. However, our refillable markers do not use this harmful chemical. We also understand what it means to be on a tight budget, which is another advantage of refillable markers that can be refilled with ink at a fraction of the price of replacing markers.

How AusPen Products Are Manufactured

AusPen came from a determination to minimize waste. The initial idea for refillable marker pens was followed up by extensive academic and industrial research. The founders have extensive experience in industrial design and manufacturing, and decided that AusPen would:

  • Utilize responsible manufacturing methods and recycled and recyclable materials to manufacture our products.
  • Make products that are safe, cost-effective and top quality.

We think we offer the best quality whiteboard markers in the marketplace –  Our ink is the best available in the world, Our nibs are in fact double-sided so they last for many refills,  Our pen barrels are durable and long-lasting and are refillable.  We save the user many stationary dollars and provide an opportunity to contribute to the well being of our environment. 

Every component in our markers has been pitted against competitors in the open market and then improved. We are proud of our product. We like to keep your best interests, and the environment’s best interests, at heart.
