RITTER CARES
FINDING NEW WAYS
Ritter Pen’s focus is sustainability.
In addition to many ecological measures within the production process, like using green electricity and LED technology, we make use of plastic waste and sprues for our in house recycling : means saving of waste and safeguarding of resources, for a better ecological balance.
We work constantly on increasing the Ecoline with products, made of new, environmental friendly raw materials. Using these bio-based plastics has result in reducing use of conventional plastics and saving resources:
• The new revolutionary, bio based material, consisting of seaweed and PLA for our ALGO-PEN – is not only saving resources, but also helps to preserve sea biodiversity. It contains 20 % Sargassum : „born in the ocean“.
• The first Ritter Cares Biomaterial, based on cellulose acetate, is completely biodegradable and certified according to DIN EN 13432:2000-12. The next generation of this material is available now also in colour : BIO-PEN ID
• PLA is a bio-based material that is obtained from natural raw materials, and also available in colours: PLANT
• The next generation in postconsumer recycled material and the perfect way to make use of waste : the rebirth of former shelf parts from dm-stores in our new LIFT RECYCLED, made of postconsumer recycled Polycarbonate.
• Our post consumer recycled ABS plastic is made of recycled household appliances. The use of this recyclate saves approx. 80% energy compared to the use of conventional plastics : CREST RECYCLED
• ULTRA RECYCLED large capacity refill is made of 95 % postconsumer recycled Polypropylen from packing waste. This means 80 % less environmental impact and 75 % less CO2 emissions.
The development and processing of recycled and natural materials is a sustainable step towards the future : For the environment
