Toss those pencils in the recycle bin with all the other plastic you are not sure about.
If it truly can be recycled, the sorters will figure out what classification to give it. Otherwise, they'll throw it out, and we're in no worse shape than we would have been in the first place.
have never heard of pencil shaving being recycled, and I do not believe they can be because they are not just wood they also have graphite, lead, mixed in.
Pencils DO NOT contain lead. The "pencil lead" is actually a mixture of graphite (a form of Carbon) and clay. Pencil lead is therefore natural and biodegradable, you do not need to recycle it.
Faber-Castell Corporation introduced a pencil made of recycled materials in 1992
A typical lead pencil does not actually contain lead. The "lead" in a pencil is made of graphite, which is a crystalline form of carbon. Therefore, there is 0% lead in a lead pencil.
There is no lead in pencil - Pencil is made from graphite
Pencil lead is a compound
If your asking if the pencil has Lead, then the answer is that most pencils do NOT have lead in them anymore.
Pencil lead isn't really lead, it is graphite, a form of carbon. Pencil lead doesn't have any lead in it whatsoever.
we get lead of pencil from the mixture of clay and graphite
Pencil lead is a conductor.
A 9mm pencil lead is thicker than a 7mm pencil lead.
Pencil lead is made of graphite and clay. Newer recipes for pencil lead use waxy polymers to bind the graphite to produce a lead that does not snap when the pencil is flexed.
