Looking for a pencil that sharpens easily and doesn't break? Our regular HB recycled pencils are made of tightly wound whole sheets of 100% post consumer recycled newspapers. This protects the lead from breaking easily and makes these pencils last longer than traditional wood case pencils. The lead sharpens easily to a fine point without breaking and writes smoothly. Each pencil is topped with a non-toxic, latex-free, no-smudge eraser. All pencils come pre-sharpened. Sharpener included. Be sure to recycle the shreds when you sharpen!
For help and advice or to order over the phone, please call 778 340 5463 or toll free 1 877 216 5463.
More information:
Sustainable, non-toxic pencils are made entirely of 100% recycled newspapers. These pencils do not contain wood but look and feel like traditional wood pencils, only they perform better.
With the leads protected inside the newspaper, these recycled pencils don't break easily and can last up to 3 times longer than regular wood pencils.
Wood Pencils vs. Recycled Pencils:
To make traditional HB pencils, forests the size of 90 tennis coursts are cut down every minute to supply wood. Each year, 14 billion of these pencils are made in polluting factories and thrown away in landfills that harm our ecosystems. Scientific studies have proven that producing pencils in this way is harming the environment.
Our recycled pencils are made of 100% recycled newspaper and require no raw materials or toxic chemicals. By reusing a 4-foot stack of newspapers, one 40-foot pine tree can be saved.
