At Iwako, the beauty and wonder of childhood are first and foremost in all product decisions. To ensure that all Iwako erasers are as child-safe and pure as possible, the company uses an eco-friendly process to mold and color their erasers. All materials are PVC free. To minimize waste, all excess scraps are recycled or reused to make more erasers. Each eraser is assembled by hand with loving care, usually from the home of an Iwako employee, and then re-inspected to ensure quality in each product.<\/p>\n

Iwako Erasers Are for Everyone<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While Iwako erasers are made to be child-friendly, they certainly aren\u2019t just for children! If you\u2019re searching for some cool erasers to place around your desk or dresser, you\u2019re in luck; if you\u2019re looking to decorate your sacred space with cute erasers, you\u2019re equally touched by good fortune!

Going, Going, Gone!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The artists at Iwako continue to brainstorm and create new designs, which means some erasers are retired, never to be made again!
