O’BON Notebooks do not use regular paper. In fact, they consist of Bagasse (Buh-Gas) which is essentially sugarcane pulp left over after extracting juices from sugarcane. Bagasse is far less taxing on our environment than conventional paper and is very cheap to produce too.

The philosophy behind O'BON is simple: Take a common school item, such as a pencil, and turn it into something exciting, something special, something different. We strive to end the days when pencils came in bland colors, broke constantly and consumed valuable environmental resources. Made from old newspaper, and manufactured in a variety of hip designs and colors, our pencils are setting new standards for environmentally friendly and grade school trendy. And pencils are only part of what we do. You will find that our entire line of school supplies is unique, exciting and fun. Smiles for your kids today, trees for your kids tomorrow. Quality, Responsibility and Affordability O’BON is a United States based company dedicated to designing, manufacturing and distributing stationery products such as pencils and erasers. At O’BON, we strive to incorporate 3 fundamental elements into every one of our products, specifically Quality, Responsibility and Affordability. Our loyalty lies passionately in the hands of our customers, and behind every single product we make exists a determined effort to surpass any and all expectations you may have of us.History: How O’BON came to make the World’s Greatest Pencil O’BON was essentially born out of a new, revolutionary process in pencil making. By rolling a used sheet of newspaper around a stick of graphite, we began creating pencils that were superior to the outdated wood versions all too common today. Not only does our method protect the graphite much better than the old wood version, but our pencils are the far more environmentally responsible choice. Add to that some simply stunning designs by our sister company Evoke, coupled with inexpensive prices and voila! We are creating products that are the best choice for our customers.. Today, O’BON products can be found in nearly a dozen countries around the world, with plans underway to increase that number rapidly. Particularly at this juncture in human history, amidst growing concern over the state of our environment, this quick expansion is aimed at providing people with environmentally responsible options capable of making a significant difference. Every minute, an area of rainforest the size of 20 football fields combined is cut down, partly due to the creation of conventional wood pencils. O’BON stands firmly behind the notion that to lose such a massive chunk of diverse ecosystem is completely unacceptable. This ambition to reduce deforestation on our planet makes up the foundation of our business, and is represented ever so beautifully in the designs that we use. Today, O’BON pencils are made to represent several different themes, and we dedicate our Wildlife Series so passionately to the animals that we are trying to protect. In addition, a percentage of the revenue we receive from every product we sell goes back into the community, either through education or charities in an effort to make our world an even better place to live. |
