Eco Friendly Pencils - FAQs

What are eco-friendly pencils made from?

Eco-friendly pencils are typically made from sustainable or recycled materials, such as recycled paper, reclaimed wood, or even bamboo. Some pencils are also made from biodegradable materials that break down naturally without harming the environment. These pencils offer the same functionality as traditional pencils while significantly reducing environmental impact.

Are eco-friendly pencils durable and do they write as well as regular pencils?

Yes, eco-friendly pencils are designed to be just as durable and reliable as regular pencils. Whether made from recycled materials or sustainable wood, they provide a smooth writing experience and consistent quality. The lead and erasers used in these pencils are also of high quality, ensuring that you won’t sacrifice performance when choosing a more sustainable option.

How do eco-friendly pencils help the environment?

Eco-friendly pencils help reduce the demand for virgin wood, decrease waste in landfills, and minimise the carbon footprint associated with traditional pencil production. By using materials like recycled paper or reclaimed wood, these pencils promote the conservation of natural resources and support recycling initiatives. Additionally, some eco pencils are designed to be compostable, adding further value to their environmental benefits.

Can I customise eco-friendly pencils with my brand’s logo?

Yes, eco-friendly pencils can be fully customised with your brand’s logo, slogan, or other designs. Customisation options include eco-friendly printing methods that use non-toxic inks. This makes eco pencils an excellent choice for businesses, schools, or organisations looking to promote their brand while demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.

What is the difference between recycled pencils and plantable pencils?

Recycled pencils are made from materials that have been repurposed, such as recycled paper or reclaimed wood. These pencils help reduce waste by giving new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. On the other hand, plantable pencils have a biodegradable seed capsule at the end. Once the pencil is too short to use, you can plant it in soil, and it will grow into a plant, such as herbs or flowers. Both types of pencils are eco-friendly but offer different ways to contribute to sustainability. Keep an eye on our eco pencils page for the latest stock range.
