WoW! A special ballpoint pen made from recycled milk cartons.
The well-known Tetra Pak milk cartons consist of aluminium, paper and plastic.
These materials are separated and then the paper is used to create this blue ink writing pen.
This pen is supplied with a printed message: I used to be a milk carton.
Recycling drinks cartons leads to savings of 75% on fossil fuels, 90% on water, and up to 70% on CO2 emissions (compared to using new raw materials).
When a Tetra Pack is recylced, the paper and cellulose are recovered and reused.
The remaining polyethylene and aluminium are normally thrown away but for this pen they have been processed into fine granules and used to create the pen.
