\u201cMade from Upcycled Wood\u201d: STAEDTLER will mark its upgraded pencils made of wood chips with this note from 2022 \u00a9 STAEDTLER Mars GmbH & Co. KG<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flower vases made of bottles, wine crates as bookshelves, costumes made from leftover fabric: Upcycling gives old objects and supposedly useless materials a new purpose. It is a creative way of upgrading, saving resources and protecting the environment. STAEDTLER uses this principle to manufacture its pencils from \u201cUpcycled Wood\u201d. In addition to the classic coloured pencils and pencils made from wooden boards, the writing and creative goods manufacturer also produces high-quality pencils from the smallest wood chips in order to make full use of wood as a raw material and thus save resources.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration through upcycling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Upcycling recycles residual or waste materials and transforms them into something new. While the original material loses some of its value during recycling or downcycling, it is upgraded during upcycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany people know upcycling from hobby projects, for example when old cans are decorated and turned into colourful pen holders,\u201d says Britta Olsen, Head of Brand & Communications at STAEDTLER. This principle combines creativity with sustainability and served as an inspiration for STAEDTLER\u2019s specialproduction technology. Pencils under the label \u201cMade from Upcycled Wood\u201d are made from wood chips, which are produced as a by-product in the wood industry. \u201cEven the smallest wood residues find a new purpose,\u201d says Britta Olsen<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

STAEDTLER was inspired by upcycling for the production of the pencils \u201cMade from Upcycled Wood\u201d and upgrades wood chips from the German wood industry to coloured pencils and pencils. \u00a9 STAEDTLER Mars GmbH & Co. KG<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Resource-saving pencils made from wood chips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

STAEDTLER processes wood chips for pencils \u201cMade from Upcycled Wood\u201d, which are produced duringsawing and planing processes in the German wood industry. These are ground and turned into high-quality pencils in a granulate. This wood comes from PEFC-certified, predominantly German forests(PEFC\/04-31-1227), which are managed in an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All products \u201cMade from Upcycled Wood\u201d are \u201cMade in Germany\u201d – the extraction of wood chips from German sawmills and production therefore takes place in the same country. This keeps transport routes short and saves energy. STAEDTLER also pays particular attention to sustainable production processes beyond the production of pencils \u201cMade from Upcycled Wood\u201d. For example, the writing and creative goods manufacturer has been using 100% green electricity at all German locations since 2021, including for all pencils \u201cMade from Upcycled Wood\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Efficient use of wood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wood is the heart of STAEDTLER pencils and coloured pencils \u2013 both for the classic wood-cased pencils made from wooden boards and for pencils \u201cMade from Upcycled Wood\u201d, such as Noris colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wood is central to us. That\u2019s why responsible use of this resource is all the more important to us,” says Britta Olsen<\/strong>. According to the German Federal Agency for Civic Education almost a third of the world\u2019s land is forested, but the forest population is continuously declining. “For pencils \u2018Made from Upcycled Wood\u2019, we need less new raw materials because the wood chips used are a residual product. With this production technology, we can use wood even more efficiently,” says Britta Olsen and continues: \u201cIt\u2019s in our hands to take responsibility and preserve the environment for future generations.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
