Pencils.com adds NEW Earth-Friendly Items


Pencils.com has expanded our range of environmentally responsible pencils and notebooks with the addition of several new products from Green Apple and Banana Paper to complement our existing “Green Product” offerings under our ForestChoice brand of FSC Certified wood pencils.

Green Apple is an Earth friendly pencil produced from Genuine Incense-Cedar wood grown in the forests of California and Oregon. Our two new Green Apple pencils include a 10-count ergonomic triangular #2 pencil pack as well as their 4-count Jumbo Highlighter hex pencils. The triangular pencils are produced from finger-jointed wood slats reclaimed from the slat manufacturing process to reduce waste. The dry text liner pencils have four attractive colors and are a safe and non-toxic means for highlighting your reading materials. Both pencils have a natural wood surface and are paint-free. Green Apple has a growing range of Earth-Friendly school supplies that Pencils.com hopes to add over time to further expand our selection of environmentally friendly products. All Green Apple packaging is made from recycled paperboard.

The Banana Paper Company produces environmentally friendly tree-free, acid-free, natural paper and paper products. These products - produced in Costa Rica - are made using tropical agricultural wastes reclaimed from traditional production of items such as: Bananas, coffee and pineapple. The paper used in these products is made from 80% post-consumer waste fiber and 20% banana leaf fibers and requires 70-80% less energy to manufacture than virgin fiber paper. The Banana Paper Company is based on the belief that human growth and the well-being of our environment can be attained in a sustainable way. Banana paper designs and manufactures all of their banana paper and banana paper products all the way from its raw materials to the shelf.

The initial Banana Paper items now available on pencils.com include:

-Banana Paper Notebook, Kraft Fauna Collection

(4 Cover options)

-Butterfly, Monkey, Dolphin & Toads

-Banana Paper Journal, Sketches Collection

(2 Cover options)

-Red Hummingbird & Green Frog


We have also added a new Maped Natural Eraser product.

We at Pencils.com are excited to expand our offerings of earth friendly pencils and writing supplies to build upon our longstanding company commitment exemplified by our ForestChoice product range.
