Why Earthzone pencils?
For hundreds of years, traditional pencils have been made out of wood, which damages the environment and harms our planet through deforestation and industrial waste. Each year, 14 billion pencils are made and thrown away in landfills, wasting our natural resources.

Earthzone is dedicated to producing environmentally friendly products. Our pencils are made of 100% recycled newspaper and no wood products are used. Earthzone pencils actually save trees by re-using post-consumer newspaper. The airtight manufacturing process also makes our pencils nearly impossible to break and last 3 times longer than regular wood pencils.

Our pencils are earth-friendly, professional, and fun to use!

How are Earthzone pencils made?
Earthzone takes old, whole newspaper sheets and cuts them into appropriate sizes. A coat of water-based glue is then applied to each sheet and the newspaper is tightly wrapped around a graphite core, leaving no gaps of air inside the pencil.

No toxic chemicals or wood products are used in Earthzone pencils, and the erasers are latex-free.



Who can use Earthzone pencils?
Earthzone pencils are great for people of all ages at school, home or work. From HB to colour, to artists' pencils—we have it all!

You can help the environment even more by placing the shavings from Earthzone pencils in your recycling box.

What makes Earthzone pencils so long lasting?
Traditional pencils are made by encasing a piece of graphite in two pieces of wood glued together. When you drop a wood pencil, the graphite vibrates because there are gaps of air between the wood and the graphite core, and this causes the graphite to shatter.

The process of using newspaper to create Earthzone pencils eliminates the chances of air pockets because of how they are made, making the graphite almost impossible to break. Earthzone pencils last longer than regular pencils.
