Humanium Metal
What is it?
Humanium Metal is a beautiful idea that turns something terrible, illegal firearms, into a commodity for good. It is created from illegal firearms that are melted down and upcycled to make new products.
It upcycles metal from illegal firearms into a new element that can be used to make products that are then sold to raise money to prevent violent crime and rebuilding communities. Humanium Metal is produced by Swedish nonprofit organisation IM.

The Humanium Metal Factory
The Humanium Pen Factory was founded in 1985. It has 30 employees working under living wage conditions. It is a family business, operated by the third generation Lins who we have worked with to develop the process for making the pen.
Our Humanium Metal Range
We knew we wanted to work with Humanium Metal as soon as we first heard about it. Eventually, we came up with the idea for A Good Humanium Metal Pen because we wanted to create something that can be used as a symbol, like when signing documents of cooperation, peace treaties, or even climate treaties.
