BIOBASED PLASTICS
        AND RECYCLED PLASTICS                                                                                         INTRODUCTION


        Plastic is a valuable resource but it should be used efficiently, which is why our materials and production processes are
        designed to be free of harmful substances, ecologically compatible, waste avoiding and recyclable. Close to 100% of our
        production waste is either reused or recycled.

        Brand new in the range, you will now find three ball pen models made from post-industrial recycled material.

        Our Bio range, however, goes even further. The visible parts of our Nature Plus, Skeye Bio and the barrel of our Super Hit
        Bio and Liberty Bio pens are made from a bioplastic which is based on PLA - derived from renewable and non-finite raw
        materials. Since 2019, our bio pens are completely climate neutral.

                                                                                                                      PLASTIC PENS
