O'Bon
O'BON is a US company that strives to incorporate 3 fundamental elements into every one of their products - quality, responsibility and affordability.
By rolling a used sheet of newspaper around a stick of graphite, O'BON has created pencils that are superior to wood pencils. Not only does this method better protect the graphite, it is the environmentally responsible choice.
Every minute of every day a rainforest the size of 20 football fields is cut down, partly due to the creation of conventional wood pencils. O'BON believes that to lose such a massive chunk of a diverse ecosystem is completely unacceptable. The ambition to reduce deforestation is the foundation of O'BON's business, with their wildlife series dedicated to the animals they are trying to protect.
O'BON donates a percentage of its revenues back to the community, either through education programmes or to charities, in an effort to make our world a better place to live.
