I was really looking forward to trying the new Ticonderoga Renew Pencils. The black graphite center is covered not with wood but recycled tire parts – a nice idea, I thought, as billions of tires are discarded each year. Even the box is made with recycled paper, so I was very disappointed with the subpar writing experience the pencils provided. The outer shell is extremely hard and almost impossible to sharpen manually, and electric sharpeners are not recommended. Even the graphite is uneven. I think I will stick with one of the many other great “green” pencils available on the market.
