Saurabh H Mehta from New Delhi has launched the world’s first fully biodegradable pen, named the NOTE pen.
This pen features a recycled paper refill, non-toxic ink, and options for a metal, paper, or bamboo exterior, aimed at reducing plastic waste.
Saurabh H Mehta, with a background in sustainability and innovation, started this mission over seven years ago to create a pen without plastic.
Over 50 billion ballpoint pens are discarded yearly, with 95% made of plastic.
To combat this, Saurabh founded bioQ, an eco-friendly stationery company, to focus on sustainable alternatives and reduce plastic waste in pens.
