Description of Invention

Broken color pencil leads, often overlooked as harmless, can contribute to environmental pollution. The materials used in these pencils, including wood, plastic, and pigments, may contain harmful chemicals. During production, the dyes and pigments used in coloring pencils can release pollutants, and improper disposal of these small broken leads into landfills can exacerbate the issue by leaching toxic substances into the environment. COLOURVIVE is here to save the day. It is an innovative upcycling solution that transforms discarded color pencil leads into educational toys, customizable gifts, and decorative items, reducing environmental pollution and adding value to waste.
