Sustainability
The Recycled Colored Pencils – 12 Pack by Zefiro are a sustainable alternative to traditional wood-based pencils. Instead of using virgin wood, each pencil is made from 100% recycled newspapers, helping reduce the demand for deforestation and giving new life to old paper.
With an estimated 82,000 trees cut down annually for pencil production, choosing upcycled materials like these makes a real environmental impact.
These pencils are also vegan and packaged with minimal waste, aligning with eco-conscious values while still delivering vibrant, creative color.

About Zefiro
It’s not about being perfect. Nobody is. It’s about being conscious that our actions matter. What we buy matters. What we waste matters. What we send to the landfill matters. What ends up in our oceans and ends up in our fish, matters. Every small step we take, makes a difference.
We’ve all become aware that we need to recycle but we need to start shifting our perspective to reducing and reusing before we think about recycling!
That's why Zefiro's mission is to help us reduce and reuse by offering products that are free of unnecessary packaging, minimize single use waste and are safe for both us and the planet.
