RAW MATERIAL ALGAE

Huge amounts of brown algae (Sargassum) in the oceans have become a major problem.
Floating in the water, this “big sea of Sargassum” blocks the incidence of light and is killing sea
biodiversity. Toxic gases are released at the beaches, as a result of the decomposition of tons of
Sargassum under the sun. We use this biomass as raw material:

In the new Ritter ALGO-PEN .

The new, revolutionary, bio based material consists of seaweed and PLA.

#bornintheocean

The use of brown algae as a new raw material does not consume any fresh water! The reduction
of the algae in the oceans helps to preserve sea biodiversity.

#100%nature

By using this new, bio-based material, we reduce the use of conventional plastics, means saving
resources.

#sustainablewriting

Together with our new ULTRA RECYCLED large capacity refill, the ALGO-PEN ensures long
lasting, perfect writing performance. The refill is made of post-consumer recycled polypropylene,
offering a writing length of up to 6.000 m.
