At O’BON, we believe that we can build a better planet through education. By reaching out to kids at a young age, we will succeed in creating a smart, informed and responsible generation. Collectively, we will make this world a better, healthier and cleaner place to live. This is the fundamental idea behind the O’BON Educational Program, which consists of:

O’BON Smart Swap: Trade in your used, broken or old wood pencil for a brand new O’BON recycled newspaper pencil at absolutely no cost. Not only do our pencils tend to last longer because the graphite doesn’t break, we don’t cut down a single tree to make them. And all the old pencils we receive are donated to children in need around the world, meaning you are making a small difference in somebody’s life.

O’BON Show & Tell: As a part of our commitment to building a smarter generation, O’BON will give you an educational presentation on environmental problems and solutions. Teaching kids about the importance of a healthy environment and responsible habits is a critical part of our program. We even discuss better alternatives to common products so kids can start making a difference right away.

O’BON Fun-Raising: We are huge fans of school clubs and organizations. Kids who are passionate about a sport, activity or cause need to be encouraged and, through O’BON products, supported. By selling O’BON products, a sum of the proceeds can be used to fund a club’s activities and events.
