A funky bright pencil case which closes securely with a zip. These pencil cases are made from recycled juice packs - the non-biodegradable foil and plastic packaging used would otherwise go into landfill sites and incinerators. Approx. 8.5in/21cm wide, 3.5in/9cm high.These products are made by a women's cooperative in the Philippines. The large number of bags and household items that are produced every year prevents vast quantities of juice packs from being burnt, buried or simply littering the streets and waterways. The cooperative has won a number of awards in the Philippines for its concern for the environment and its outstanding contribution to both waste recycling and employment generation.
