        BIOBASED PLASTICS AND RECYCLED PLASTICS






















        At senator® we actively follow the latest Research and Development in
        alternative materials to reduce the CO₂ footprint and see these develop-
        ments very positively! Currently, we are already processing bio-based
        plastics from sugar cane in four successful ball pen models and producing
        five models from post-industrial recycled plastic.
