BIC® product philosophy and design
“Just what’s necessary”
The BIC® product philosophy has always been focused on simplicity, functionality, quality and the best price/quality tradeoff. Since the launch of the BIC® Cristal® pen, the style and design of BIC® products, and the materials that go into them, have had but one purpose: perfect harmony between their form and the use they are designed for. There has never been any place for the superfluous.
Maximum Use
BIC designs the vast majority of its products for maximum use – a BIC® pen draws a line up to 3 kilometers long; a BIC® lighter provides up to 3,000 lights; and a BIC® shaver is good for a week of shaving.
BIC measures the impact on the environment
To understand the impact of its products on the environment, BIC has implemented life cycle studies and ecodesign methods.
Life cycle of BIC® products
Studies on life cycle of our products, from raw materials to the end of life.
Life cycle studies were led by external experts based on the
Eco-Indicator 99 method.
Ecodesign approach
Process that consists of taking into account the environment when desiging products.
