pen 38: uni-ball rollerball stic micro eco

 the uni-ball rollerball stic micro eco is a perfect example of what a recycled version of a pen should be, and that is virtually indistinguishable from its counterpart. in fact, if you didn't see the packaging the only way to tell one from the other is a tiny little leaf etched into the metal clip, and you really have to look to see it.

this pen is made from 80% post consumer waste, which lands it in between the bic reaction (74%) and the pilot b2p (89%) and it doesn't advertise that fact on the pen itself like those other two do. i think that they figure that the pen speaks for itself and doesn't need to announce to the world how awesome it is because its good for the environment.

rather than going on and on about this pen, and how much i love it, you can just go here and read all about it.
