STAEDTLER has always been fully committed to the motto "efficient for ecology". This applies to the products as well as to the production processes. Through innovative technologies, the traditional company is constantly making its production processes more efficient and steadily increasing the lifespan of its products. The result: durability in the service of the environment. What lasts longer only needs to be replaced later - this means less raw material consumption, less CO2 emissions and ultimately less waste. This principle is expressed in numerous innovations such as WOPEX, ABS or Drysafe, because STAEDTLER systematically ensures that ecological criteria are observed right from the start for new products. STAEDTLER sets high standards, especially when it comes to the procurement and processing of wood, one of the most important raw materials for the manufacture of wood-cased pencils: STAEDTLER Mars GmbH & Co.KG is therefore certified in the areas of production and trade of wood-cased pencils in accordance with the applicable standards of FSCTM and PEFC product chains. STAEDTLER thus ensures the documentation and improvement of sustainable forest management with regard to economic, ecological and social standards. All wood-cased STAEDTLER pencils are made from certified wood. This underlines STAEDTLER's commitment to the environment and its responsibility in dealing with wood, an indispensable raw material.
