Commitment to Green Products

As a renewable resource, wood-cased pencils have long been a sound choice when produced from wood supplies through sustainable forestry practices. Learn more about Forest Conservation issues in the pencil industry and our company leadership in this area through our Genuine Incense-cedar and other certified wood products. As the original inventor of Duraflame firelogs in 1969, our parent company set an early standard for full utilization of all wood byproduct and since then both CalCedar and Duraflame, now independent, but related family companies have continued to innovate new and improved products with improved environmental performance.

Palomino’s ForestChoice Pencils were the world’s first pencils to be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council^® Certification program (FSC® Certified (FSC-C10858)) and Pencils.com was the first place to sell them. ForestChoice offers high quality – and affordable – performance for drawing, writing and carpenter pencils. They provide the added independent assurance of being produced from wood coming from a well-managed forest fully endorsed by the world’s leading environmental groups.

We will continue to add to our Green Product offerings on Pencils.com. We hope you’ll join us in supporting and promoting the utilization of green manufacturing processes.
