Paper pen is an amazing eco-friendly product that has immense potential to replace plastic pens to a great extent. Awareness and availability are the two criteria for its success. For awareness, Pure Living conducts training programs and campaigns. The machinery is sponsored by the Good Karma Foundation. For easy availability, Pure Living has facilitated the distribution of these pens at convenience stores in schools, bookstores, stationery shops, boutiques, and other similar outlets. Lakshmi Menon has semi-automated the production process to improve productivity and scale up production.
Paper pens are an amazing eco-friendly alternative to plastic disposable pens. Good Karma Foundation supports the production of Rolapena paper pens while Lakshmi Menon conducts training and environmental awareness programs. At this time, the production of Rolapena creates employment for disenfranchised women and the differently abled in Kerala, India. Rolapena is currently in Indian schools, bookstores, stationery shops, and boutiques.
Rolapencil saves trees as it utilizes used newspaper and can be sharpened using a regular sharpener. Pure Living has also invented a pen-rolling machine (patent pending) and set up a pen-rolling unit for women in villages of Varanasi as a joint venture with Reliance and the International Institute of Waste Management (IIWM).
