The simplest, littlest of things can sometimes make all the difference in the world. What if… one day we stopped cutting down trees and destroying forests for our consumption. And instead, we REUSE what we already have.


It starts with something we use often in our daily lives – a pencil. How many trees have been cut down to manufacture wooden pencils? The answer – A LOT. How many trees have been cut down to make newspapers? The answer – once again, A LOT. Now wouldn’t it be a good idea to cut some corners here, if it were to save Mother Nature an entire pine forest? The answer – YES!

O’BON has now revolutionized paper. Once again, O’BON has made it clear that no tree will ever be harmed in the making of an O’BON product. Instead of cutting down trees to produce paper or using unbleached “recycled” paper (yea, that light brown ugly grainy paper), O’BON actually uses sugarcane fibers that are leftover from farmers who extract the juice from the sugarcane for resale. These leftover fibers are then processed and made into white paper, without the use of bleach, since the sugarcane fibers are naturally white.

O’BON has made a point in insisting that their pencils are far more aesthetically appealing than the traditional yellow pencil, most of which come with an eraser attached via a metal, aluminum clasp. But does the clear fact that O’BON pencils are beautiful outweigh the simple inconvenience of not having an eraser on top of the pencil?
