Get inspired to write your ideas, work and doodles for a more sustainable future with this concrete pen from Carbon Upcycling Technologies. This unique pen is made from CO2 embedded concrete and polished off with beeswax, making a distinctive addition to any desk.

 

How it works: Carbon Upcycling Technologies (CUT) captures CO2 from point sources, such as powerplants, and uses an absorption process to sequester the gaseous CO2 into inorganic solid materials in powder form. CUT uses the powder feedstocks to create advanced additives for industrial uses such as concrete, plastics, coatings and even consumer products. Since 2014, CUT has dramatically scaled its ability to capture CO2 emissions. Learn more about the science behind CUT’s products, and their reactor unit which produces 8 tons of CO2 embedded material per day.
