Why not buy one decent pen “shell” and then just buy the plastic tube with the tip and the ink afterwards?
I know many companies use pens for marketing but still, they could apply this too and also stand up for the environment while still do marketing.
Meh the amount of plastic is minimal and most pens are made from renewable materials these days (Polylactic Acid).
Personally I don’t use pens much at all anymore so it never really happens that I empty one of ink. If I throw one out it is because it is all dried up.
True but I have a lot of similar pens because I use mostly pens and I like this particular type a lot. And every time I empty one, which happens for me probably once a month it feels weird to throw it away just to grab the same one from the drawer instead of just filling it up.
on the other end of the spectrum, i go through about one pen per decade. the one at my desk ive been using for about 6 years. somewhat remarkable to me that the ink stays good for so long.
Yeah me too, though for me the ink doesn’t stay good that long. I guess because I live in a hot country.
I literally do years with one. I have to say I hate writing with a passion anyway. I can type sooo much faster than I write and my handwriting is terrible. So I avoid it like the plague.
