05 Material GUIDE CARD BARREL WOOD BARREL PET BARREL BAMBOO BARREL ALUMINIUM BARREL CORK BARREL WHEAT BARREL COFFEE BARREL A collection of pens and pencils made from alternative materials such as card, wheat, bamboo and wood. To reduce your carbon footprint even further, look out for European made models. Pen barrels can be crafted from a variety of materials, but utilising the tensile strength of recycled cardboard offers a durable option that functions effectively as a barrel while naturally composting within a relatively short time. Recycled cardboard can eventually be down cycled and repurposed for use in products like clothing. The wood we use in our pens is from the ‘Birch’ family and is a natural product that is biodegradable from a natural source and helps reduce the use of traditional metal or oil based plastics. PET plastic is extensively employed in producing water bottles and holds the distinction of being the most commonly recycled plastic. Our RPET is sourced from recycled water bottles and can undergo recycling once more – in fact, RPET can be recycled up to 10 times! Bamboo is a natural product that is biodegradable and is cultivated without the use of pesticides and a less water than other ‘crops’. We use Bamboo from natural sources to create barrels that are both attractive and durable. Environmentally conscious pens skillfully manufactured using recycled aluminum cans for the body, some of the plastic trims are crafted from recycled PET, which is from discarded water bottles. Cork is naturalally biodegradable and recyclable. If discarded, cork naturally decomposes without releasing harmful toxins or pollutants. Cork can be recycled and reused extending its lifecycle and reducing waste. The wheat plastic used in our pens is a combination of traditional plastic and plastic derived from wheat straw waste. Typically regarded as agricultural waste, this straw can be blended with traditional plastics to create pen components, reducing reliance on oil-based plastics. Carefully crafted from recycled coffee ground waste, this approach reduces dependence on oil based plastic materials, offering a practical solution that repurposes natural waste.
