Sustainability begins where products are truly thoughtfully designed.
Our LEVEL BIOBASED ballpoint pen uses one of the cleanest, most modern, and natural biopolymers in the world: PHA.
This results in a writing instrument that not only works well but also makes a real difference.
A PHA Ballpoint Pen – more than just Bio-based
PHA is not an ordinary bioplastic. It is a polymer naturally produced by microorganisms that is completely biodegradable after use.
For our LEVEL, this means:
Bio-based production from renewable raw materials
Complete absence of petroleum-based plastics
Natural biodegradability, without microplastics
Premium tactile feel & modern aesthetics, comparable to conventional materials
This material elevates sustainability to a new level – making the ballpoint pen a true showcase product.
Derived from Plants & Sustainable Raw Materials
The pen’s basic component is derived from:
Sugar crops such as corn or sugarcane
Plant-based oils
or even sustainable waste streams (e.g., used cooking oils)
These raw materials serve as an energy source for microorganisms – free from fossil resources and petrochemical additives.
Produced by Microorganisms – A Natural Process
The production of PHA occurs similarly to how it happens in nature:
Microorganisms are cultivated in bioreactors.
They convert the plant-based raw materials into biopolymers and store them in their cells.
Under controlled conditions, they produce a polymer with clearly defined material properties – ideal for writing instruments.
This process ensures that the material is extremely pure, high-quality, and free from toxic residues.
Extracted & Purified for Highest Quality
After fermentation:
the biopolymers are extracted from the microorganisms
purified
and processed into a fine, high-quality granulate = PHA
This granulate is then formed into the components of our ballpoint pen – precise, dimensionally stable, and durable.
Perfect for Precision & Injection Molding
PHA can be precisely molded – ideal for:
Sleek, modern designs
Precise push mechanisms
Components without visible seams
You receive a writing instrument that is visually and functionally on par with conventional plastics.
Pleasant Tactile Feel & Modern Surface
The material feels natural, slightly matte, and high-quality.
The ballpoint pen has a minimalist, clean, and valuable appearance – sustainable without the “eco look.”
Stable & Durable in Use
Even though PHA is biodegradable, it does not break or decompose during use.
It remains:
Robust
Dimensionally stable
Resilient
Suitable for everyday use
It only degrades after disposal, through natural microorganisms.
Compostable & Free from Microplastics
After its lifecycle:
the material decomposes naturally
without special facilities
without microplastics
without harmful substances
This makes the product a truly recyclable writing instrument.

PHA is produced by microorganisms from renewable, plant-based raw materials and later fully biodegrades in natural ecosystems – without microplastics or harmful residues.
Production is based on fermentation, a natural process that does not require petrochemical components. The material is produced resource-efficiently and can even be obtained from waste streams.
PHA is dimensionally stable, precisely processable, has a pleasant feel, and is excellent for injection molding – ideal for components that must combine optical quality and functionality.
PHA can be obtained from sustainable raw materials, used, returned to nature, and biodegraded. The material closes the natural cycle – without fossil dependencies.
Because PHA enables precision: slim components, clean contours, stable wall thicknesses, and a modern, pleasant surface. Perfect for a ballpoint pen that is both sustainable AND aesthetic.
The pen is made from a material that is produced without crude oil, remains stable during use, and naturally biodegrades after its life cycle – a holistic advantage for brands that want to present themselves as credibly sustainable.
It visibly demonstrates that a company takes genuine responsibility. The LEVEL BIOBASED combines functional design with a material that stands for future viability, credibility, and cutting-edge sustainability.
