plastic pens

Each year, the world discards tens of billions of plastic pens — most ending up in landfills or the ocean, where they take centuries to break down. By contrast, a bamboo pencil grows to harvestable maturity in just 3–5 years and decomposes naturally within 90–180 days of disposal. Bamboo over plastic has moved from slogan to growth engine of the global sustainable stationery market — one projected to surpass $13.7 billion by 2030.
