Bottle 2 Pen (B2P)
This new B2P pens are made using 89% of post-consumer recycled plastic water bottles, wherein one plastic bottle can be transformed in to two B2P pens. The B2P Gel pen contains identical vibrant gel ink as used in the company’s best-selling G2 pen. This year, the company has expanded its B2P family with the launching of the B2P Ballpoint pen. This pen is manufactured from domestically sourced bottles in the U.S., wherein those bottles have 83% of post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. These two pens are retractable and can be filled again for smooth writing. The manufacturing of B2P encourages the recycling process and converts trash into useful products and also decreases the waste dumped in to landfills.
According to Consumer Marketing and Marketing Research’s Director, Ariann Langsam, plastic bottles dumped into landfills are almost 50% of recyclable waste. Pilot Pen desired to identify a new way to manufacture an eco-friendly pen by recycling plastic water bottles, he added.
