For the most part, recycled post-consumer plastic (PCP) is obtained from technical (domestic) appliances or other forms of plastic consumer waste.
This process involves collecting and grading plastics and recycling each grade separately. After the recycling process, a new product can be ‚upcycled‘ from what are known as post-consumer or also post industry plastics. Without exception, the recycling of plastics uses less crude oil and power. Thanks to the European and ClimatePartner-certified production, the uma rPCP writing instruments makes an additional sustainable contribution to the protection of the environment.
