A good idea has become a reality. Caran d’Ache – a Swiss cult brand and manufacturer of high-quality writing instruments – and Nespresso have joined forces to implement an innovative recycling project. Empty Nespresso coffee capsules made of aluminium were used to manufacture a limited edition of high-quality 849 ballpoint pens. Every pen bears an engraved confirmation. Each one is equipped with a Goliath ink cartridge in size F, M or L for filling up to 600 A4 pages with handwritten text. The ballpoint tip ensures a clean and clearly legible script.

From waste material to quality product

Caran d’Ache and Nespresso share values such as environmental protection and the pursuit of change in conjunction with Swiss quality design. It therefore stood to reason to turn a disposable product such as the aforementioned coffee capsules into a sustainable product. A special aluminium alloy was developed for the 849 ballpoint pen that transforms the writing instrument into a timelessly elegant and stable lifestyle accessory. Even the packaging it comes in is made of recycled cardboard. This ballpoint pen is recommended to everyone who wants to see sustainability in action on their desk.
