Recycled Plastic HB Pencil
Eco-friendly recycled plastic HB pencil — post-consumer PET barrel, 175mm, GRS-certifiable recycled content for sustainable procurement programs


Product Overview
European retail buyers and institutional procurement programs are increasingly specifying recycled content requirements in pencil tenders — driven by EU Green Claims Directive 2024/825, national sustainability targets, and consumer demand for plastic waste reduction. This Recycled Plastic HB Pencil is engineered to meet those requirements with a barrel manufactured from post-consumer recycled PET — verified through GRS (Global Recycled Standard) chain of custody, from recycling facility through extrusion to finished product.
The post-consumer PET feedstock is sourced from certified recycling streams, extruded around an HB (#2) graphite core at 175mm length. Unlike virgin polystyrene or ABS pencils, the recycled PET barrel carries a verifiable PCR (post-consumer recycled) content percentage that can be stated on retail packaging and tender submissions — supported by a GRS transaction certificate tied to your specific purchase order, not a generic factory-level scope certificate.
The recycled PET barrel provides the same humidity resistance, impact durability, and consistent sharpening performance as our standard resin-based wood-free pencils — but with a documented environmental claim that meets the evidentiary standard European buyers now require. Available in natural recycled grey (the material's inherent color, requiring no pigment) or custom Pantone-matched barrel colors. OEM logo imprint via silk screen or hot foil stamp. Round and hexagonal profiles available.
BSCI social compliance and ISO 9001 quality management certifications are provided with every order. EN71-3 and REACH compliance documentation available. Custom recycled content percentage (30%/50%/70%/100% PCR) configurable per order volume — MOQ increases with higher PCR percentages due to feedstock sourcing requirements.
This product targets European retail chains with sustainability commitments, institutional procurement programs specifying recycled content, school supply tenders in environmentally regulated markets, and brand owners building eco-friendly stationery lines. A reliable option for eco-friendly recycled plastic pencil wholesale from China and GRS-certified recycled PET HB pencil supply for sustainable procurement programs.
Samples available for buyer evaluation. GRS transaction certificate documentation provided with production orders. Contact us with your recycled content requirements.
