Eco-friendly ballpoint pen, made of rPET (recycled PET plastic water bottles).
rPET (recycled polyethylene) is a food-grade recyclable plastic that is typically made from recycled water bottles. rPET is – despite its fossil origin – a sustainable material. rPET has an extremely high carbon content, and therefore functions as an effective carbon depot throughout the lifespan of the product and recycled products. If plastic is not recycled, it will either break down into CO2 and contribute to the greenhouse effect, or end up as polluting waste. For every tonne of recycled plastic, 3.8 barrels of oil are saved.

Why rPET?
The world is struggling to control the menace of plastic use and waste. Experts opine that at current consumption rate almost all water bodies of the world will get choked by plastic waste by 2050. rPET technology is showing the way to packaging industry and thankfully, the world is increasingly accepting the recycled plastic to cut the plastic load.
According to the PET Resin Association, almost 1.8 billion pounds of PET were recycled in 2015 and reused in making a variety of end products. With tech advancement, the use of rPET is expanding in several new areas and it ensures several advantages over the PVC, like:
rPET is relatively more thermally stableIt has more tensile strengthBetter transparency gives it elegant look and diversity of use.rPET material is relatively lightweight and shatter-resistantThe recycling of the PET makes it inexpensive.It helps in cutting the plastic load on earth.rPET consumes less energy and is cost-effective
