 Faber Castell Colour PencilsFaber Castell pencils simply last longer. The patented adhesive bonding make the pencils particularly secure against breakage. At the main factory in Stein, Germany, almost all the pencils are given an enviromentally safe water based coating. This is even used for the dots on the GRIP pencils. More than 80% of the timber for the global production of pencils in the Faber Castell Group comes from FSC certified plantations and from sustainable forest stewardship. As the world's leading manufacturer of erasers, Faber Castell avoids the use of harmful plasticers. The majority of the erasers are manufactured from PVC free plastic. | | |
