BIC, a leading producer of stationery, lighters, and shavers, recently launched its first full line of eco-friendly stationery products called 'BIC ReVolution.' The expansive sustainability-focused range includes items such as high-quality ballpoint pens, permanent markers, mechanical pencils, and white-out tape, all of which have been made from recycled materials and are themselves fully recyclable.
Every product included in the range is made of a minimum of 50% recycled content, and the packaging used to house each product is constructed from 100% recycled material. A standout offering is the 'BIC ReVolution Ocean Retractable Ball Pens,' which offers consumers the classic BIC ballpoint design while consisting of a 73% recycled ocean plastic construction.
"This Earth Day, we're proud to launch the BIC ReVolution line of stationery products, continuing BIC's deeply rooted commitment to supporting the circular economy and transforming how we use plastic to better help serve the next generation," said Mary Fox, General Manager of BIC North America.
