MIXING
Tungsten carbide powder
is compressed, creating
1mm pellets. Then they
are sanded with a diamond paste in a lapping
machine and lubricant is
added. This is done for
over 5 days.
This socket point, made
out of brass is punched
out. Then the ball bearing
is mounted into the point.
Is made up of dyes, resins
and solvents to create the
right viscosity, to create
this fast dry ink. The ink is
housed in a plastic tube,
which is form by being
heated and then extruded
through a bath of water.

This is not the study of a product that I have owned
for many years specifically, but ironically so, I have
owned more than a hundred of them. The Bic pen is
the first ballpoint pen ever invented. The reason I
chose this product, is because as a pen and writing
aficionado myself, I consider this product to be the
best writing tool ever created.

Assembly
The plastic cartridges are filled with ink, then they are attached to the ball point. At this stage, other components such as the
cap and ends are incorporated. Other finishing steps, such as adding coatings or decorations or performing a final cleaning,
are also done.
Packaging
Headquarters: Clichy, France.
The finished pens are then packaged according to how they will be sold. Single pens can be put into blister packages with cardboard
backings. Groups of pens are packed into bags or boxes. These sales units are then put into boxes, stacked on pallets, and shipped to
distributors.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Transportation accounts for
57% of emissions and 3 % of the flows.
MATERIAL CONTENT FOR EACH PEN
5 grams of plastic 5 grams of brass
6.8 ml of crude oil 1 grams of carbide tungsten
MANUFACTURING
79% of BIC pens are made in Bic-owned factories. These factories are i
implementing annual energy and water consumption, CO2 emissions and waste.
1.11% of tonne is CO2.
