From coffee ground, a new story: meet the Coffeefrom© bio-based pens

Penna ecosostenibile in materiale bio based - Coffeefrom

Where the story of the coffee grounds comes to an end, Coffeefrom begins endless new stories. In collaboration with Pagani Pens, leader in technologies for the development and innovation of writing instruments, we were able to create a special edition in Coffeefrom© bio-based of the iconic DS3 pen, designed to convey the infinite expressive possibilities of coffee wastes.

A “renewable” pen

Made with our first bioplastic material consisting of coffee grounds and PLA, the DS3 Coffeefrom© contains no elements of fossil origin. The body and rotating mechanism are made of biodegradable non-fossil bioplastic plant-based, while the refills, once exhausted, can be replaced.
