- Millions of highlighters are used each day and most of them are a formulation of liquid ink or gel encased in plastic. They're nearly impossible to recycle, so we throw them away and the number is staggering. Here's another option, a highlighter you can feel good about, and this one small choice can make a big difference.
- Sustainable and responsibly made in Austria (wood from managed forests) with a natural finish so they are biodegradable (no plastics, no ink solvents, no volatile organic compounds).
- Dry highlighters don't bleed through thin pages, leak or dry out. They sharpen easily and the core will not chip or crumble like other brands. Excellent for home, school and office. Suggested uses: bible highlighter, textbook highlighter, engineering and schematics, financial statements, and more...
- Size: the pencils are JUMBO sized (3/8 inch in diameter x 6 7/8 inches in length) and hexagon shape - comfortable to hold and use. To sharpen, use a JUMBO pencil sharpener

I need highlighters for my work in publishing. Plastic highlighters create an enormous amount of waste globally, plus I'm sensitive to chemicals and the scent of almost all highlighters is bad for me. THESE PENCILS!!!!!! The lead is nice and soft and easily leaves a mark on regular ink jet/copy paper (not suitable for glossy papers). The fat size of the lead leaves a nice thick line. The company makes these in a bunch of different colors, which I use in my color coded markup scheme and love having choices. There is no paint on the outside of the pencil, which is great because you get the tactile feel of smooth wood and the pencils aren't slippery, and because the paint on the outside of pencils is actually toxic. They send along excellent sharpeners to fit the pencils. ****BEST OF ALL: No more plastic waste!!!TIP: When sharpening, don't press super hard into the blade, keep a nice even smooth movement going and don't try to force it to go too quickly. Also, only sharpen to the fat size of the point you want. Sharpening out to a sharp point every time uses up the pencils faster. I find the pause to sharpen to be a nice moment to move my eyes off the screen, something I can forget to do often enough. Oh, and avoid dropping the pencils on hard surface, as the lead can break at the point or inside, which again, uses up the pencils faster. I adore this pencil and this company!
Once you use these you'll never buy another plastic highlighter again. I have a heavy reader and like to do lots of highlighting as I read a lot of science and novels in languages other than English, where I like to highlight both concepts and new words.. These work so well and when you are done with them you have a tiny stub of a pencil to toss, not another plastic piece of s*** that is not recyclable. These also come in a set of varied colors which I love.
These highlighter pencils exceeded my expectations. I worried that they would be too stiff and might rip the paper I was using them on, but not at all. They perform exactly as I had hoped. In addition to being biodegradable when I am done with them, the packaging was compostable, sin in to my compost bin it went! It came with a wooden pencil sharpener with two sizes of opening, one large enough to accommodate these think pencils. I like their thickness as well, easy to hold. I will return to order more, possible in other colors. These will make great gifts for school-aged kids. Yeah! I will never have to buy another plastic highlighter again.
I absolutely love these highlighters! I have the neon colored pencils and they are awesome for bible study. I am ordering a set of yellow as I use it the most. These are definitely my go to highlighters!!!!
Perfect highlighter, never dries out. I use it for my checkbook, but it would work for any highlighting task.
