# Eco-Friendly Highlighter Pencils Berylune's wooden Eco Highlighter Crayons Can be Sharpened By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-12-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highlighter-pencils References: [notonthehighstreet](https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/berylune/product/eco-highlighter-crayons) & [berylune](https://www.berylune.co.uk/collections/stationery/products/eco-highlighter-crayons) These highlighter pencils from Berylune are not to be confused with coloring pencils—although they do have the potential to add color to paper, they serve as [eco-friendly alternatives to conventional highlighter pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cream-highlighter-sticks). As Berylune describes, "these pencils don't leave nasty plastic carcasses behind to occupy space in land fill." The [wooden Eco Highlighter Crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-kitchen-tools) are said to be much more longlasting than conventional felt highlighters and will not smear fountain pen ink. Just like a pencil, [these crayons can be sharpened](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencil-sharpener-1) as the point becomes dull, rather than thrown out when a felt highlighter's tip becomes dry. As well as offering three highlighter crayons in conventional neon yellow, orange and pink colors, Berylune also carries metallic silver and gold varieties. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Highlighter Pencils:** The trend of eco-friendly stationery is growing, with an opportunity for companies to develop more sustainable alternatives to traditional stationery products. - **Long-lasting Stationery Products:** The trend of creating long-lasting stationery products is growing, with an opportunity for companies to develop products that are durable, reusable, and sustainable. - **Sharpenable Stationery Products:** The trend of developing sharpenable stationery products is growing, with an opportunity for companies to create products that are more user-friendly and economically sustainable. ### Where This Applies - **Stationery Industry:** The stationery industry has an opportunity to capitalize on the growing trend of eco-friendly and long-lasting stationery products. - **Sustainability Industry:** The sustainability industry has an opportunity to develop new materials and technologies that can be used in the production of eco-friendly stationery products. - **Office Supplies Industry:** The office supplies industry has an opportunity to create more user-friendly and sustainable options for customers, including sharpenable and refillable stationery products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eco-Friendly Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprout-worlds-plantable-pencils.md) - [Carbon-Neutral Stationery Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabercastells.md) - [Recycled Plastic Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanical-drop-pencil.md) - [Festive Plantable Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantable-pencils.md) - [Self-Sharpening Coloring Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinity-colouring-pencils.md) - [Eco-Conscious Lip Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schwan-cosmetics-1.md) - [Elegant Everlasting Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilform-aeon.md) - [Recycled Coffee Ground Leads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grind-z.md) - [Clothespin-Inspired Mechanical Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentapa.md)
