Description

Alkos Group has developed innovative bio-based cellulose pencils made from up to 95% recycled paper fibers as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic and wood. These pencils are compostable, recyclable, and can be sharpened easily. They are available with natural or waterproof formulas for eyes, eyebrows, and lips. Customizable in color and decoration, these sustainable pencils offer a green solution for the cosmetics industry.

Pathway Description:

The process starts by sourcing recycled paper fibers, which are transformed into cellulose material for pencil production. The cellulose is shaped into pencil form, ensuring it is smooth and durable enough for cosmetic use. The pencils are then filled with various cosmetic formulas, such as natural, organic, or waterproof types. Finally, the pencils are made compostable and recyclable, with options for customizing the tube color, decoration, and cap to suit branding needs.
