At Studio GBM, we’re always on the lookout for ways to combine quality, design, along with sustainability and our branded Senator pens are a perfect example.

Senator pens set the standard for eco-conscious office essentials. Each Senator pen is produced using 100% renewable energy, reducing environmental impact from the very first step of production.

Every visible part is crafted from bio-based plastic derived from sugarcane, resulting in a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to imported alternatives. In fact, Senator leads the industry in CO₂ performance per metre of writing length.
