MUMBAI: Flair Pens has rolled out its latest sustainability-led initiative, ‘The Right Move’, a campaign that positions the Move 2mm mechanical pencil as an eco-conscious alternative to traditional wooden pencils. Conceptualised by Schbang, the emotionally charged film uses a child’s perspective to highlight the unseen environmental cost of classroom stationery.
At the heart of the campaign is a simple yet powerful metaphor: the act of sharpening a pencil visually transforms into trees being cut down, reminding viewers of the link between everyday stationery choices and deforestation. By framing this through a child’s innocent lens, the narrative drives home the importance of making conscious decisions early on.
Unlike traditional wooden pencils, the Move 2mm mechanical pencil is refillable and not made of wood, while still retaining a familiar wooden feel. This innovation reduces waste, ensures longevity, and allows students to enjoy the same writing experience without compromising on sustainability.
The campaign is designed to resonate with students, parents, and educators, positioning Flair not just as a stationery manufacturer but as an empathetic innovator addressing both environmental and user needs.
“The 2mm pencil is truly an innovation for a cause. To launch such a product, we wanted to drive the importance of this innovation directly to its users, the children, and inspire them to make the right change,” said Schbang creative lead Vaibhav Das.
Through ‘The Right Move,’ Flair underscores its mission to make sustainable choices accessible and impactful, proving that environmental responsibility can begin with something as simple as a pencil.
