Chinese industrial designers
Chengzhu Ruan, Yuanyuan Liu, Xinwei Yuan and Chao Chen have come up with an awesome concept allowing you to
transform scrap paper into pencils. There’s not much you can do with paper after you’ve written (or printed) both sides of it. You could use it to wrap stuff up you intend to store or throw away, but that’s about it. But if the
LiteOn pencil maker ever gets made, then you can actually use it to make pencils.
It’s a concept that winds up the otherwise useless paper so tight that it forms the body of a pencil. Just feed spare paper it into the machine, wait a while, and voila! You’ve got a brand-spankin’ new customized pencil, ready for you to use. Of course, the lead will be brand new, but I think that’s a pretty easy material to source and feed into the machine. If that's not enough to sell it, it also has a
fancy pencil sharpener built in.
