New Delhi, Jan 28, 2025: Skoodle, the flagship brand of Stone Sapphire India Pvt Ltd (SSIPL), has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative to promote sustainability in the stationery industry. By scaling up the production of it’s eco-friendly recycled-paper pencils, the brand aims to make a significant environmental impact and inspire a greener tomorrow. This innovative approach aims to reduce the environmental impact of traditional pencil manufacturing.

In India, conventional wooden pencil production results in the loss of approximately 1 tree for every 9500 wooden pencils produced. Skoodle, through its innovative approach and technology, produces 720 million wood-free pencils annually, saving an estimated 3000 trees each year, and this has been going on since about 6 years. Further by transitioning the market completely to recycled-paper rolled pencils, this impact could grow threefold, paving the way for significant environmental conservation.

“Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond business — it’s a responsibility we embrace wholeheartedly,” said Shobhit Singh, Managing Director & CEO of Stone Sapphire India Pvt. Ltd. “By introducing recycled paper pencils, we aim to create a lasting positive impact on the environment. This initiative symbolizes the power of small changes that inspire a larger movement. Our vision is for India to lead in sustainability, starting with actionable steps like Skoodle eco-conscious practices,” he said.

Skoodle's efforts are projected to have saved 13 acres of forest land every year since 2018, contributing to a sustainable future, while addressing key challenges such as deforestation, carbon emissions, and waste management. The brand invites individuals, businesses, and educational institutions to join this Earth-Conscious Movement and embrace sustainable practices in their daily lives.
