Why Choose Eco‑Friendly Pencils?

Sustainability Is About Giving Back to Nature Have you ever wondered how small actions can create a lasting impact? At NotJustPencil, we believe the everyday pencil can become a symbol of sustainability.

Save Trees • Conserve Water • Reduce Waste

14 billion wooden pencils are produced annually, costing 82,000+ trees.
Recycling 1 tonne of paper saves 20 trees, 7,000 gallons of water & cuts air & water pollution.
NotJustPencil stops deforestation by upcycling old newspapers—no trees harmed.

Testimonials

NotJustPencil is more than just a product — it’s a purpose. In our school’s sustainability program in Dubai, these pencils have become a symbol of eco-conscious learning. The fact that they’re made by rural women in India adds so much depth to the story. Our students not only love using them, but they’ve also learned how every small choice can contribute to a bigger impact. Truly a global product with a heart.

As an artist who cares deeply about sustainability, I’m constantly looking for tools that align with my values. The NotJustPencil Sketch Set has impressed me with its quality and environmental ethos. The rich tones and durability are perfect for sketching, and the recycled paper design is brilliant. It feels great knowing my tools contribute to both the planet and a social cause.
