The Future of Writing is Green: Explore the New Sustainable Stationery Eco-Green Collection of Pens, Markers and Highlighters for Work, School & Everyday Use

What if every day stationery didn’t cost the earth?

That question has guided our work for years; not just as a challenge, but as a commitment. Shachihata has always believed in creating sustainable stationery products that enrich daily life, and respect the planet that we all share.

Featuring thoughtfully designed whiteboard markers, permanent markers, ballpoint pens, gel pens, and highlighters; Artline’s newest Eco-Green sustainable stationery collection is the latest evolution of that promise. Functionality meets responsibility in this innovative new collection that only builds upon Shachihata’s long-standing environmental principles.

With this launch, we’re proud to continue rewriting the story of sustainable stationery: smarter, greener, and built for the future.

EXPLORE THE COLLECTION:

DRY SAFE ECO-GREEN WHITEBOARD MARKERS

(Artline 517 & 519)

The ECO-GREEN 517 and ECO-GREEN 519 models are built for schools and offices in mind. With our advanced DRY SAFE technology, these whiteboard markers can be left uncapped for up to 48 hours without drying out. How does it work? A soft membrane around the nib acts as a seal. The seal is broken when writing, so that the ink flows on demand, and stays protected when not in use. Genius, right?

The Artline 517 features a bullet-style nib with a clean, consistent 3mm line width. Ideal for everyday writing, note-taking, and clear board work.

The Artline 519 uses a chisel-style nib with a variable 2–5mm line width. Perfect for bold headings, presentations, and versatile writing styles.

Both deliver low-odour, xylene-free ink, making them safe for schools, offices, and shared environments. As non-toxic whiteboard markers, they’re gentle on the senses and tough on waste.

With over 64% recycled plastic used in their construction* (517: 65.6% | 519: 64%), these recyclable whiteboard markers support a more circular approach to sustainable stationery. If you’re seeking sustainable whiteboard markers that work as hard as you do, this pair is sure to deliver.

DRY SAFE ECO GREEN PERMANENT MARKERS

(Artline 170 & 190)

These eco permanent markers redefine durability and sustainability for workplaces, classrooms, studios… basically anywhere bold, permanent marking is essential.

With DRY SAFE technology, the Artline ECO-GREEN 170 and 190 can be left uncapped for up to 2 weeks without drying out. A soft membrane protects the nib, only breaking when writing. This means your ink stays fresh and flows exactly when needed: no dry-outs, no waste.

The Artline 170 features a bullet-style nib with a clean 2mm writing width. Perfect for precision labelling, note-taking, or everyday use.

The Artline 190 offers a chisel-style nib with a variable 2–5mm writing width. Ideal for signage, packaging, or any application that demands bold, visible lines.

Both deliver rich, dense colour that’s instant-drying, waterproof, and xylene-free, making them safer for users and kinder to the environment. These are non-toxic, low-waste permanent markers made from over 64% recycled plastic (170: 65.6% | 190: 64%), making them ideal for anyone seeking sustainable permanent markers that support a lower-impact lifestyle.

ARTLINE 690 HIGHLIGHTERS

Bright, bold, and built with care for the planet. These are eco highlighters that don’t just stand out on the page, but also in the stationery aisle.

The Artline 690 Eco-Green Highlighters come in a vibrant pack of four, with 5 colour options: orange, pink, green, and yellow fluorescents, or a unique light blue for a softer contrast. With a chisel-style nib and 1–4mm variable line width, they’re perfect for underlining key ideas, colour-coding notes, or marking up documents at home, school, or in the office.

What sets them apart? These water-based highlighters use xylene-free ink that won’t erase or fade original text, making them ideal for both paper clarity and long-term legibility.

Crafted using a remarkable 97.9% recycled material*, these are among the most sustainable highlighters on the market. Their design helps reduce waste while offering the same vibrant performance you expect from a high-quality pen. They’re an excellent choice for anyone looking for plastic-free highlighters, or seeking sustainable highlighter pens that align with eco values.
