sustainable pen alternatives
When choosing to be environmental it is easy to oversee small objects like pens. Americans only throw away 1.6 million pens that go into landfill and litter.
refillable pens
There is unfortunately no such thing as completely zero-waste pen, therefore we recommend two long lasting refillable fountain pens:

bamboo or wooden pens
The most affordable option we recommend is this bamboo ballpoint pen.
Though the inside is made out of plastic the exterior of this pen is mostly made out of wheat and bamboo which are a great alternative to plastic. Wheat and bamboo grow naturally fast without the use of fertiliser and can be as sturdy and durable as plastic. The pen comes in various colours and a company logo can easily be printed on it.
