A Tried and True, Green Product Review

New on the eco scene are pens made of cornstarch, which, when disposed of properly, will biodegrade within a year.  When I saw these nifty Eco Pens, I had to try one.  They’re lightweight, bright, happy pens — they make you want to jot a note to a long-lost friend, while hangin’ at the beach.

Sleekly designed with a slit in the side so you can see when the ink’s running low.  There’s also a finger-friendly grip for comfort  and a removable, clip-on tip.  How does the ink hit the page?  With a clean line, for a smooth writing experience.  According to designer Adrian Olabuenaga, the Eco pen was “the result of a long development process,” a founder of ACME Studio, “it had to measure up to the standards we set for all our pens:  superior functionality and great design.”

We give the Eco Pen an easy green thumbs up.  In either white or 12 psychedelic colors, and with black ink only, grab yours ($1.98/each) @ acmestudio.com
