Pilot's Bottle-2-Pen (B2P) is Made From Recycled Water Bottles

On the write side of recycling

By Rain Noe - February 5

Japan-based writing utensil manufacturer Pilot struck upon a cool idea: Why not make pens out of recycled water bottles? Their resultant B2P (Bottle-2-Pen) units come in both gel and ink varieties, made from 89% and 86% recycled plastic bottles, respectively. And they've designed the pens to visually evoke water bottles as well:

There's no mention of the pens being recyclable a second time, but they are refillable.

A 5-pack of the ink variety is six bucks and change, while the gel 5-packs run closer to nine bucks.
