i love how innovative kenya is. this isn't the first time ive heard of their great upcycling techniques
Honestly Kenya, Ghana and lots of places in Africa are doing some crazy things with upcycling, renewable products, etc
Never knew that paper would be strong enough to become a pencil. The more you know 🌠
I remember as a kid we had scented pencils made from recycled paper just like this
Kenya has a different form of technology, just because it’s not in the same fashion as we may be used to does not mean it’s not innovation
Is it just me or is Africa going to lead recycling? From plastic bricks to paper pencils, they've been making great strides!
What a great idea. Imagine billions of plastic pens end up in land fill, drainage systems washed into marine environment.
Yall never had those weird paper pencils at school. It looked like wood and feel like it, but when you'd sharpen it, it would be white and papery
But who's paying there salary??? Hmm 🤔
I'm so proud to be a Kenyan 🇰🇪🇰🇪❤
wood be like:
This reminds me of back in the 90s we had those regular orange pencils. But when we used a pencil sharpener we would notice a design under the orange layer, so my dad would shave off the outer layer of standard orange pencils for the colorful designs and patterns underneath
Hell yeah this is something I think a lot of 2000s kids are familiar with - anyone remember smencils? The pencils with different scents? Those were made out of newspaper too!
I used to have the scented newspaper pencils when I was younger. If I remember correctly they were called smencils.
Smecils!!!! These used to be the biggest thing at the book fair growing up. They had Asian newspapers inside
I remember back in elementary school they gave us pencils recycled out of money
These paper pencils actually looks pretty and awesome! ❤
Living in a country like India, I am so damn educated with a degree and all I do I just do is some theoretical talk! 😞
Kenya is full of amazing innovators, great engineering minds and beautifully thoughtful writers. Truly a country full of marvelous people.
