Unpainted Pencil: Our favorite pencil ever. Made from sustainably-forested incense cedar by General’s Pencil Company in New Jersey (one of the last American pencil factories), and not sullied by a coat of paint that creates micro plastics when sharpened (paint is plastic).
Metal Sharpener: German made, compact, and equipped with two replacement blades built in.
Wax Highlighter: These "china markers" have been around for ages, and their bright yellow wax makes them the perfect replacement for disposable plastic highlighters.
Stainless Steel Pen + Refill: Available as an add-on. This substantial stainless steel ballpoint pen is a handsome reminder that pens should not be disposable. Even the extra ink cartridges are plastic free.

+ Unpainted, Sustainably Forested Pencil
+ Metal Sharpener, 2 extra blades

Hundreds of millions of plastic, vinyl, nylon, and canvas pencil cases are eternally stuck in landfills, and millions more sit on store shelves soon to be added.
Our recyclable aluminum pencil tin is intentionally slim and fitted with the essentials you need, and nothing you don't.

SHIPPING
Orders typically packed within 24-48 hours Monday - Friday.
Orders ship via USPS or UPS. Shipping prices are the actual rates we pay (the true cost of shipping from Northern CA. - Sorry Maine!). As we grow, we will negotiate more favorable shipping rates, but for now, we pack every order (plastic-free), load up our cars, and deliver to a post office in a nearby town because our local Post Office refuses to accept or pick up the “large” number of packages we have outgoing on a normal basis.
Thanks for your patience while we navigate how to scale what we’re doing!
I love my Zero-Waste Pencil Tin set. It is well-made, and each piece serves its purpose with style. The pencil sharpener is perfect, and the highlighter will last a long time. I even love the wooly liner that keeps things from rattling around.
Zero-Waste Pencil Tin Set
Well made materials from the tin to the writing instruments included. Perfect for my workshop.
I really like my tin - it's the perfect size for my day pack, and I don't have to rummage around in the bottom of a bag for my favorite pen. Ordering and delivery were perfect. thank you.
Wisdom Supply company is amazing! I ordered the pencil box and I absolutely love the products. Everything is exquisite. The personal attention to the customer can’t be beat. They actually reached out to me because I neglected to put in my discount code!!!! I highly recommend this company.

New features based on teacher survey feedback:
+ Monthly At-A-Glance Expanded to two page spread accompanied with a full notes page
+ Months visually tabbed to easily flip to current month
+ 6 columns per weekday - 3 columns per weekend day
+ Optional header line for subjects
+ Perforated corners
Highly requested additional note pages.
We received a number of requests for additional notes pages in the Weekly Planner, but this year the page count was increased a full 16 pages due to the inclusion of monthly spreads throughout the book. Adding 4 more notes pages (requires increments of 4) pushed it beyond our wallet zone with paper availability scarce, and costs at record highs.
