Its proceses includes: Recycling its plastic body and replacing it with a natural fiber as cortaderia selloana (pampa grass), wich is highly adaptable and can grow in a wide range of environments and climates, it also seeds prolifically and has a hard stem bark and a soft inner, making it suitable for different sizes of pens. Refilling them with an eco-friendly ink, made from soy sauce, bets, and caramel.
