Our O'Bon wildlife pencil 2-packs are ideal as birthday party goody bag treats or as an add-on gift. Pair a pack with an
elephant recycled sketchbook, in keeping with the animal theme.
Not only does making pencils from old newspapers help preserve our
forests, but the process of rolling newspaper around graphite instead
of encasing it in wood means that the graphite is far better protected.
In comparison, merely dropping a wood pencil on the floor can result in
the graphite splintering and cracking. This is why O'Bon confidently
states that their pencils often last 2-3 times longer than conventional
wood pencils.
The O'Bon factory is low on the energy consumption scale of producing
pencils. Unlike wood pencils, there are no trees to chop, no wood
slates to grind and no hexagonal shape to cut by grinding wood.
