All pens

All external components of all our plastic writing instruments are made of minimum
50% recycled ABS – for black and white pens the percentage reaches 100%.
This includes QS and DS models, like our classic DS3 or our newest DS11, which further
reduces ABS content as it is made with only two parts.

The recycled plastic is regenerated from our own production waste or supplied
by regionally operating suppliers close to our production sites.

All our plastic writing instruments discreetly bear the international recycling symbol
embossed on the side of the cap. They are refillable and come with lower pollutant
