Happy New Year! As Waldeck's enters 2010, I find myself fantasizing about products that I'd love to stock but I don't think they exist. Hey, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and all these items are available, I just haven't found them yet.
Here are my Top 10 Eco-Friendly Products that could make Waldeck's customers world that much more wonderful.
1) A rechargeable battery display that reflects the true cost and environmental savings of rechargeable battery usage. It's apparent that the major battery companies would prefer not to sell or promote rechargeable batteries.
2) A battery recharger that could recharge 24-36 batteries at a time. That way batteries can be reused in a more industrial environment.
3) A refillable pen kit. A roller/gel/ballpoint pen with 5-10 refills in a handy storage case. Currently, pen refills are sold in individual packaging. Similar to recharging batteries, the writing instrument industry doesn't seem to really want their pens to be refilled.
4) A handcranked or squeeze-action powered laser pointer. They can do it for flashlights and radios, why not laser pointers and other electrical devices.
5) Recycled content toilet paper in a denser triple or quad rolled format. No core on the inside would be nice as well.
6) A device, like a soda fountain, that can dispense a variety of eco-friendly cleaning liquids into reusable personal dispensers.
7) A similar dispensing device that could be used for powdered cleaning products as well.
8) A hand pump powered compressed air duster for computers. The aerosol cans seem so inefficient and wasteful.
9) Recycled content Scotch tape. I've found it in packaging tape but not in the regular desk top rolls. Come on 3M, it's called "Magic Tape", work your magic and make it eco-friendly.
10) An affordable duplex printing multifunction machine. Yes, printing on both sides of the paper is eco-desirable but for the smaller user, it's cost prohibitive.
