Home of the original eco-friendly Paper Pen: gel pens made from recyclable paper that reduce plastic consumption. Australian Start-up that wants to prove that people don't need to compromise to choose eco-friendly.
@davounet Hi David, if you measure by volume, the plastic parts are only the bits of black and white you see! The whole barrel and cap (excluding the tip) is made entirely out of recyclable paper.
We think you might also appreciate this: we are actually working with the University of Sydney's entrepreneur and academics network to improve the product. In later models of the pen we plan to replace the current plastic (ABS Plastic) to bamboo plastic. We have submitted a grant towards CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) into implementing this.
Hope this helps!

Neat idea! Do you have any plans to allow for customizations (ie. Business and Organization branding)? I would love to be able to put my business name on these and hand them out/use everywhere.
@shakesmcquakes Hello Tyler, thanks for your comment! Absolutely, we have done business co-branding and have different options available. Please reach out to info@paperpensco.com with more details!
We live in a disposable culture. Most of what we own - from coffee cups to clothes - are either not built to last or are disposed before full use. Particularly when it comes to writing, when billions of cheap plastic biro are thrown out or lost each year, the environmental impact is devastating. They pollute landfill and waterways and when they are burned, they cause air pollution. We wanted to join the ban plastic movement, exploding all over the world, by targeting the next disposable plastic item: Pens.
