A Greener Pencil
Pencils are amongst the most ubiquitous of promotional products. As a result, it can be challenging to create a pencil promotion that stands out from the very crowded field. Enter the new “Renew” recycled tire pencil from Dixon Ticonderoga. Made from a specially formulated rubber compound created from recycled tires, the Renew pencil is PMA certified non-toxic and features a latex free eraser. And best of all, the core is made of the same high quality, black, #2 graphite that is required for test taking and by schools everywhere.
Every Renew pencil features a “Made from Recycled Tires” imprint, and you can add your own brand or message as well. The pencil itself is only available in black, but you can choose from a black, green or white eraser, and a black, silver, or brass ferrule. At as little as $0.28 per piece, the Renew pencil is an affordable promotion that sends an important message.
Dixon Ticonderoga is considered the world’s best pencil and its therefore not surprising that it is the best selling one. With its sleek black, recycled casing, this pencil is both good looking and good for the environment. Globally, one tire is discarded per person, per year, and there are currently over 2 billion scrapped tires in U.S. stockpiles. What a great way to make use of refuse!
