Tree-Free Pencils (4-pack + Sharpener)

$5.00 $10.00

Recycled denim and newspaper pencils are an eco-friendly and unique writing instrument that combines sustainability with style. Each pencil is stamped with knowledge about hemp history to help you elevate your conversations about hemp with ease. 

Unlike traditional wooden pencils, Root for Hemp pencils are tree-free. These pencils are typically made from 30-33% reclaimed denim or newspaper material, blended with recycled polystyrene or other materials. Our pencils make a great gift, and include a small wooden sharpener to help anyone get to the point, even on the go.

This item is a part of our Merch on a Mission line. Some items in this collection are not made of hemp, but they all advance the cause of hemp in some way. For every Merch on a Mission product sold, a portion of the proceeds go to Last Prisoner Project.
