O'BON, which means 'Oh Good' in French, today represents a better, smarter and more responsible choice. \\Our trademark product is a pencil made from used newspaper, which accurately embodies what we hope to achieve. By being made from newspaper instead of wood, the production of our newspaper pencils don't damage the environment. And, since newspaper is more durable than wood, the graphite inside is protected better and lasts longer.\\As our message and brand grew, so too did our product line. We began to produce notebooks with paper made from sugarcane pulp, a great alternative resource to wood, and binders made from recycled card stock and cardboard.\\As the early-00's passed, we made a promise to produce products that were not only eco-friendly, but also extremely attractive. Our belief continues to be that environmentally friendly products don't have to come in boring designs or earthy and brown tones. No, we believed in something different, and today, we boldly claim to have the best designs, colors and themes found in stores.\\We also focus on the educational element of our products. By designing our products around animal designs and environmental facts, our goal is to nudge kids down the path of environmental responsibility and curiosity.\\By 2008, O'BON was sold in over a dozen countries around the world, including China, Australia, The United States and Canada. We continue to add more nations to our list as the excitement over eco-friendly products increases.
