The Disposable Pen That’s Made From Potatoes
The DBA Pen is a truly innovative product that’s 98% biodegradable.
Made out of a bio-plastic derived from non-GMO potatoes, the pen is fitted with an ink reservoir made from a renewable fiber, and a custom ink is exceptionally safe for humans and the environment.
Even the manufacturing process is ecologically sustainable. DBA Pens are made in Ontario, New York by Harbec Plastics, whose factory is powered by an on-site wind turbine, and equipped with highly energy efficient machines.
With billions of toxic, disposable pens being manufactured annually, it’s refreshing to see the design of an everyday product re-imagined with such high standards.
DBA also has a number of other products in the pipeline including a unique dish rack, humidifier, extension cord and heater
To buy the pens, and to learn more, head to DBA’s website.
