I’m not sure I’ve used a Bic pen in the 2000’s so the likelihood of using one in 2015 (at least in my world) is slim.

Designed by the zo-loft team of andrea cingoli, paolo emilio bellisario, cristian cellini, and francesca fontana, all from Italy, Din-ink is designed to be completely compostable dinnerware that replaces your pen cap. Made from GM free corn and potato products, the caps break down in 180 days, resisting heat up to 105 degrees Celsius. For a more immediately functional solution, you may want to order some Spudware potato and soy-based .
