Eco factor: The fact that they are made out of recycled newspapers.
If you are a fan of scented erasers, then here’s an exciting product for you. Smencils come in flavors like Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, Chocolate Milk, Cinnamon, Popcorn, Grape, Very Berry, Orange, Watermelon and Rootbeer. What’s amazing is that these pencils are actually made from sheets of recycled paper and the traces of print can be seen while sharpening the pencil. Once the pencils are made, they are soaked in liquefied scents and later placed into a freshness tube. These pencils have the ability to retain their scent for two years. The fact that only recycled newspapers, environmentally friendly fragrances, recyclable ferrules and biodegradable erasers were used in manufacturing this product, makes this product an interesting item among the eco-conscious buyers. As long as they aren’t put in plastic packs, Smencils will continue to remain very innovative and environment friendly!
The Dark Side:
An environment friendly scented pencil certainly is ultra-cool, but lots of people prefer their pencils without scent. Hence Smencils only cater to a small sect of buyers.
