Our Inspiration
Every year, 1.6 billion cheap, disposable pens end up in United States landfills. The availability of such pens ensures that consumers have a never-ending supply and contributes to high plastic use. Furthermore, the design of these pens can be incredibly wasteful and involve more plastic than is necessary. To combat this growing issue, we at Connect have invented an entirely new writing tool.
Our Answer
Introducing the Connect pen: a multi-purpose writing utensil which utilizes a two-in-one design. On a typical pen, the plastic used for the side not involved in writing is wasted; the Connect pen, however, allows this material to serve a purpose, and doubles the functionality of the pen. With our intricate plastic groove design, each of our four unique pen nibs can be interchanged, maximizing convenience and practicality.
