Newspaper Pencil

These are ethically made in Mumbai, India. They are part of a venture by a young female entrepreneur who had a vision to use up the cities newspaper waste and help local women at the same time.

The project employs women and gives them a stable income, as well as a good working environment.

Therefore these pencils are not only useful, perfect for creative expression, an innovative use of a waste material, but they’re also doing a lot of good- improving the lives of women in a country that is struggling to look after its 1 billion + citizens.

What a great cause! And the pencils look and feel great when using them.
