Mankind is slowly starting to realize the importance of reusing non renewable resources and this pen represents the concept of resource recovery in action. Your new roller ball pen is refillable by replacing the ink cartridge.

 

As you probably know by now, Penloop is a JV between Close the Loop (CtL) and Auspen. CtL collects and recycles millions of inkjet cartridges every year via programs like ‘Cartridges 4 Planet Ark’.

 

This unique product all started as a CtL problem. The problem was, how do we turn plastic and ink from recycled inkjet cartridges into a product of value and of benefit to society and to our customers, the inkjet cartridge manufacturers including Lexmark, Canon, Epson, Brother and HP?

 

As the name suggests, Close the Loop is about closing product and material loops and recently developed and patented a way of modifying waste ink from inkjet cartridges for use in writing instruments. This is where Auspen came in.

 

Auspen, a specialist in writing instruments with strong environmental values, has provided the know how and industry contacts to make a felt tip pen that utilises this exciting new technology. This is a great example of the old thought that one plus one can sometimes equal three.
