Sustainable Manufacturing
Some or all of the energy used to make this product is produced via renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, or hydropower.
BPA Free
Products that are labeled as BPA free do not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical commonly found in plastic products. Studies on BPA exposure have shown that high levels of BPA could lead to hormone disruption, effects on behavior and brain function, reproductive problems, breast cancer, heart disease, infertility, and more.
Low Impact Ink
Companies can adopt multiple practices to print clothing, books, and catalogs in a more environmentally safe way. Low impact inks can include vegetable, soy, or water based alternatives, and generally do not contain harmful toxins like heavy metals or phthalates.
Recycled Plastic
Recycled plastic utilizes salvaged post-industrial plastic scraps and post-consumer products such as water bottles and other plastic containers, and transforms them into new products. The containers are sorted, crushed, and then heated to form resins, which are liquid plastics that can harden into new shapes. These resins can be molded and used to create anything from carpet to outdoor furniture. Recycling plastic lowers the amount of petroleum extracted and the production of greenhouse gasses associated with first-time plastic production. Plus, by using these existing materials, we’re benefiting from the original energy and resources spent to create them in the first place, while diverting waste from the landfill.

This is a writer’s pen. That it is refillable and compostable is icing on the cake.

My family uses a lot of pens for work and we go through so many refillables than seem to just break which is frustrating…. We have fallen in love with this pen and intend to buy about 10 to keep in the house, car and offices. Note is that if it does brak, we can compost the pen!!! Definitely recommend. ** It does take a few sentences at the beginning to get the pen to write consistently but once it does, it is great.

These pens work well and I like the concept of just replacing the ink. I prefer a smoother gel consistency when writing but they get the job done.

I got this pen as a present to my dad who uses pens all the time and it is nice to have a pen where you can just replace the ink and it works well.

This pen writes so smooth! I have pretty small handwriting, so it’s important to me that the thickness of the ink is small which this pen delivers on! It is very comfortable in your hand, and feels very sturdy. I can’t wait to use it for the years to come!

Hi there! We’re stoked that you are loving this pen (we do, too)! The inner refill cartridge is not recyclable – but we love how much plastic it reduces by refilling your pen for years and years.

This pen holds nicely and writes well, there is a bit of less flow to it then my other pens, but it isn’t an issue at all. I use pens every day so finding an option that allows me to buy easy more sustainably packaged refills is great!

I love the feeling and look of this pen. It feels comfortable to write with and I have to write all day at my job. I typically like a thicker writing pen as this one comes out a little thin but I’m ok with it. People at work love this pen and have tried stealing it.

I am so pleasantly surprised with this pen. The shape and material are interesting enough to be thoughtful without being strange. I feel like I can still look professional in a meeting using this pen. The fine point writes very nicely and glides without catching. For a conscientious pen, the price point is my favorite part. My only drawback was the blue ink so I’m happy there are black ink refills so now it is perfect. I’ve been using it for over a week now and it has become the only pen I want to use.

I was keeping track of my pens & how much ink I had left before I needed to buy a new one because I wanted to buy a sustainable one that would last me longer than the plastic gel ones from the store. Well finally I purchased this pen & I love it. The shape is a bit odd but still comfortable, plus it doesn’t roll away. The ink stays pretty consistent while writing & doesn’t bleed through the paper either.

Far more angular than expected. Hurts my fingers to write with it. Still a good pen, but it’s not “the” sustainable pen ive been looking more.

I bought this pen because I really like that it is refillable so I can keep the same pen for a long time. This pen also is a nice color and it is very comfortable to hold plus the shape keeps it from rolling away while I am working. Just a really nice pen.
