Green Pencils
We manufacture eco friendly pencils and pens.
Globally, more than 14 billion pencils are used. A tree has to be cut down for one to use a wooden pencil. To meet the annual demand, thousands of trees have to be cut down each year. Green Pencils Ltd now manufactures paper-based pens, reducing the plastic component by over 90% While recycling newspaper thus preventing more trees to be cut to get wood pencils and pens. We brand environment-friendly pencils and pens which act as portable billboards in the hands of your prospective target market. Companies,Institution, Schools and Ngo are part of our clients. Our unique manufacturing process has attracted men and women searching for employment and economic empowerment. By deliberate design, much of our work is handcrafted. This makes us a very labour-intensive organization.
